Risks

The business depends on a small number of large customers and on continued adoption of its systems in mission-critical warehouses, so customer timing or implementation delays can materially affect results. It also faces execution, cybersecurity, intellectual property and competition risks typical of advanced automation and software-enabled industrial businesses, along with exposure to foreign operations and related tax and currency issues.
