Current and future conditions in the global economy may negatively impact our operating results. Downturns in the semiconductor and electronics capital equipment market may adversely affect our business. Economic, political, and other risks associated with international sales and operations could adversely affect our business and operating results. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and the use of derivative instruments to hedge these exposures could adversely affect our reported results, liquidity, and competitive position. The loss of a large customer could have an adverse effect on our business. The failure of a key supplier to deliver quality product in a timely manner or our inability to obtain components for our products could adversely affect our operating results. Our business could suffer if we lose the services of, or fail to attract, key personnel. Our products may contain design or manufacturing defects, which could result in reduced demand, significant delays, or substantial costs. Our failure to develop new products and to respond to technological changes could result in the loss of our market share and a decrease in our revenues and profits. Our failure to effectively manage product transitions or accurately forecast customer demand could result in excess or obsolete inventory and resulting charges. Our failure to properly manage the distribution of our products and services could result in the loss of revenues and profits. If we fail to successfully protect our intellectual property, our competitive position and operating results could suffer. Our company may be subject to time-consuming and costly litigation. Increased competition may result in decreased demand or prices for our products and services. Implementation of our acquisition strategy may not be successful, which could affect our ability to increase our revenue or profitability and result in the impairment of acquired intangible assets.
