Our ability to obtain additional financing on favorable terms, if needed, could be adversely affected by the volatility in the capital markets. The implementation of our supply chain and technology initiatives could disrupt our operations in the near term, and these initiatives might not provide the anticipated benefits or might fail. We may not timely identify or effectively respond to consumer trends, which could adversely affect our relationship with customers, the demand for our products and services and our market share. The inflation or deflation of commodity prices could affect our prices, demand for our products, sales and profit margins. Our costs of doing business could increase as a result of changes in federal, state or local regulations. Our success depends upon our ability to attract, train and retain highly qualified associates. Changes in accounting standards and subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by management related to complex accounting matters could significantly affect our financial results or financial condition. Increased competition could adversely affect prices and demand for our products and services and could decrease our market share. We are involved in a number of legal proceedings, and while we cannot predict the outcomes of such proceedings and other contingencies with certainty, some of these outcomes may adversely affect our operations or increase our costs. The regulatory environment related to information security and privacy is increasingly rigorous, and a significant privacy breach could adversely affect our business. Any inability to open new stores on schedule will delay the contribution of these new stores to our financial performance.
