under environmental laws or regulations. In some cases, we may be subject to such costs due to
environmental impacts attributable to our current or past manufacturing operations or the operations of
companies we have acquired. In other cases, we may become subject to such costs due to an
indemnification agreement between us and a third party relating to such environmental liabilities. In addition,
new laws and regulations, more stringent enforcement of existing laws and regulations, the discovery of
previously unknown contamination or the imposition of new remediation requirements could result in
additional costs. For additional information relating to environmental contingencies, see Note 11 to our
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Unauthorized access to our or our customers’ information and systems could negatively impact
our business.
We face certain security threats, including threats to the confidentiality, availability and integrity of our data
and systems. We maintain an extensive network of technical security controls, policy enforcement
mechanisms, monitoring systems and management oversight in order to address these threats. While
these measures are designed to prevent, detect and respond to unauthorized activity in our systems,
certain types of attacks, including cyber-attacks, could result in significant financial or information losses
and/or reputational harm. In addition, we manage information technology systems for certain customers.
Many of these customers face similar security threats. If we cannot prevent the unauthorized access,
release and/or corruption of our customers’ confidential, classified or personally identifiable information,
our reputation could be damaged, and/or we could face financial losses.
