Economic downturns in cyclical segments of the economy may reduce the demand for some of our products and adversely affect our sales, earnings, cash flow or financial condition. Increases in the cost of raw materials and energy may adversely affect our earnings or cash flow. Although we have an extensive customer base, the loss of any of our largest customers could adversely affect our sales, earnings or cash flow. Adverse weather conditions may temporarily reduce the demand for some of our products and could have a negative effect on our sales, earnings or cash flow. Increased competition may reduce our sales, earnings or cash flow performance. Our results of operations, cash flow or financial condition may be negatively impacted if we do not successfully integrate past and future acquisitions into our existing operations and if the performance of the businesses we acquire do not meet our expectations. Risks and uncertainties associated with our expansion into and our operations in Asia, Mexico, South America and other foreign markets could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flow, liquidity or financial condition. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flow, liquidity or financial condition. We are subject to a wide variety of complex domestic and foreign laws and regulations, for which compliance could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flow or financial condition. We are required to comply with numerous complex and increasingly stringent domestic and foreign health, safety and environmental laws and regulations, the cost of which is likely to increase and may adversely affect our results of operations, cash flow or financial condition. We are involved with environmental investigation and remediation activities at some of our currently and formerly owned sites, as well as a number of third-party sites, for which our ultimate liability may exceed the current amount we have accrued. The nature, cost, quantity and outcome of pending and future litigation, such as litigation arising from the historical manufacture and sale of lead pigments and lead-based paint, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flow, liquidity and financial condition.
