Risks

• The potential impact of increased U.S. trade tariffs on supply chains could affect competitive positioning and cost structures, leading to uncertainty in COGS (Cost of Goods Sold) and potentially impacting net margins and earnings.
  
• The Bracing & Supports segment is facing competitive pressure, particularly in the commoditized, low-end product categories in the United States, which may impact revenue growth in this segment.
  
• The execution risk associated with the gradual rollout of new product lines, like the NAVii and Icon bionic knees, may impact sales growth projections if challenges arise during the full-scale launch, impacting potential future earnings.
  
• Currency fluctuations, particularly the neutral to adverse impact of FX rates on profitability as mentioned, could affect EBITDA margins negatively if the trend shifts unfavorably.
  
• Elevated inventory levels due to new product launches might lead to increased working capital needs, which could affect cash flow and the company's ability to invest in growth initiatives or manage debt efficiently.
