- Our financial success depends in part on the reliability and sufficiency of our manufacturing facilities.

- Disruptions or breaches of our information systems could adversely affect us.
- Increased competition could adversely affect our business and financial results.
- Global economic conditions may adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
- Raw material shortages or price increases could adversely affect our business and financial results.

- Our debt instruments are subject to interest rate risks and impose operating and financial restrictions which could have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations.
- We may not be able to successfully consummate and manage acquisition, joint venture and divestiture activities which could have an impact on our results.
- Changes in our relationships with our vendors, changes in tax or trade policy, interruptions in our operations or supply chain or increased commodity or supply chain costs could adversely affect our results of operations.
- Adverse publicity or consumer concern regarding the safety or quality of food products containing our products, or health concerns, whether with our products, products in the same general class as our products or for food products containing our products, may result in the loss of sales. Also, consumer preferences for products containing our products may change.
- Material adverse legal judgments, fines, penalties or settlements could adversely affect our business.
- Our business exposes us to potential product liability claims and recalls, which could adversely impact our financial condition and performance.
- Our brands are important assets of our businesses, and violation of our trademark rights by imitators could negatively impact revenues and brand reputation.

- We are subject to risks related to corporate social responsibility and reputational matters.
- Our reputation, ability to do business and results of operations could be impaired by adverse publicity or improper conduct by any of our employees, agents or business partners.
- Concerns about ethylene oxide emissions have resulted in certain state actions against certain of our customers that are currently impacting these customers’ ability to use the ethylene oxide process to sterilize medical devices, which may, in turn, affect sales to these customers.
