Our business is dependent on the condition of the pulp and paper industry. Our business is subject to economic, currency, political, and other risks associated with international sales and operations. We are subject to intense competition in all our markets. Our debt may adversely affect our cash flow and may restrict our investment opportunities. Restrictions in our Credit Agreement may limit our activities. Our Kadant Composites LLC subsidiary is responsible for certain continued warranty obligations associated with its former composites business, even though it has disposed of this business. Our inability to successfully integrate Kadant Johnson into our business could have a material adverse effect on our business. Our inability to successfully complete the acquisition of a manufacturing and assembly plant in China could adversely affect our business. Our inability to successfully identify and complete acquisitions or successfully integrate any new or previous acquisitions could have a material adverse effect on our business. Our inability to obtain the anticipated benefits from the restructuring of our Kadant Lamort subsidiary would have a negative effect on our future operating results. Natural gas is a significant cost in the manufacture of our fiber-based granular products, and our results from operations will be adversely affected by continued high natural gas costs. We are dependent on two mills for the raw material used in our fiber-based granules, and we may not be able to obtain raw material on commercially reasonable terms. Our inability to protect our intellectual property could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, third parties may claim that we infringe their intellectual property, and we could suffer significant litigation or licensing expense as a result. Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results may cause our stock price to decline. Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents, under Delaware law, and in our shareholder rights plan could prevent or delay transactions that our shareholders may favor.
