We may be unable to recover new product development and testing costs, which could increase the cost of operating our business. We conduct our manufacturing, sales and distribution operations on a worldwide basis and are subject to risks associated with doing business outside the United States. Our expenditures for pension and other post-retirement obligations could be materially higher than we have predicted if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect. Compliance with the TREAD Act and similar regulatory initiatives could increase the cost of operating our business. Any interruption in our skilled workforce could impair our operations and harm our earnings and results of operations We have a risk of exposure to products liability claims, which if successful could have a negative impact on our financial position, cash flows and results of operations. We may be unable to access the financial markets on favorable terms if our credit ratings or our financial condition deteriorates. If we are unable to execute our Asian strategy effectively, our profitability and financial condition could decline. We may not be able to successfully implement our cost savings initiatives. We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights adequately. We may not be successful in integrating future acquisitions into our operations, which could harm our results of operations and financial condition.
