Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract (i.e., purchase orders) with our customers are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of our products at a point in time. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods. The shipping cost incurred by us to deliver products to our customers is recorded in cost of sales. The expected costs associated with our warranties continue to be recognized as an expense when the products are sold.

Our businesses routinely incur customer program costs to obtain favorable product placement, to promote sales of products, and to maintain competitive pricing. Customer program costs and incentives, including rebates and promotion and volume allowances, are accounted for as deductions from netNet sales at the time the program is initiated. These reductions from revenue are recorded at the time of sale or the implementation of the program based on management’s best estimates. Estimates are based on historical and projected experience for each type of program or customer. Volume allowances are accrued based on management’s estimatesestimation of customer volume achievement and other factors incorporated into customer agreements, such as new product purchases, store sell-through, and merchandising support. Management adjusts accruals when circumstances indicate (typically as a result of a change in volume expectations).

We ship some of our products to customers’ distribution centers on a consignment basis. We retain title to our products stored at the distribution centers. As our products are removed from the distribution centers by retailers and shipped to retailers’ stores, title passes from us to the retailers. At that time, we invoice the retailers and recognize revenue for these consignment transactions. We do not offer a right of return for products shipped to the retailers’ stores from the distribution centers.

NOTE 3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is based uponon the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is based upon the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, plus all potentially dilutive securities that were assumed to be converted into common shares at the beginning of the period under the treasury stock method. This method requires that the effect of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents (stock options, stock-settled appreciation rights (SSARs), restricted stock units, and performance stock units) be excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the periods in which losses from continuing operations are reported because the effect is anti-dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (dollar and share amounts in millions, except per share amounts):

NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. We are required to classify these financial assets and liabilities into two groups: (i) recurring—measured on a periodic basis, and (ii) non-recurring—measured on an as-needed basis.

Trading securities consist of rabbi trust financial assets, which are recorded in Other assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The assets of the rabbi trust are invested in mutual funds and are reported at fair value based on active market quotations, which represent Level 1 inputs.

The fair value of the 3.625% Senior Notes due in 2029 (2029 Senior Notes) was estimated to be $324$302 million and $358$306 million as of March 31, 2022,2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively, based uponon market quotations. The 2029 Senior Notes and other long-term debt are categorized as Level 1 in the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy. Fair values are based on trading activity among the Company’s lenders and the average bid and ask price asis determined using published rates.

NOTE 9. REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST

Redeemable noncontrolling interest is interest in subsidiaries that is redeemable outside of our control either for cash or other assets. These interests are classified as mezzanine equity and measured at the greater of estimated redemption value or carrying value at the end of each reporting period. Net loss attributed to noncontrolling interest is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Any adjustments to the redemption value of redeemable noncontrolling interest are recognized in either net income or through accumulated paid-in capital, depending on the nature of the underlying security (preferred or common units).

The components of redeemable noncontrolling interest as of March 31, 2022, are as follows (dollar amounts in millions):

NOTE 10. INCOME TAXES

For interim periods, we recognize income tax expense by applying the estimated annual effective income tax rate to year-to-date results unless this method does not result in a reliable estimate of year-to-date income tax expense. Each period, the income tax accrual is adjusted to the latest estimate, and the difference from the previously accrued year-to-date balance is adjusted in the current quarter. Changes in profitability estimates in various jurisdictions will impact our quarterly effective income tax rates.
The tax provision for income taxes from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, reflected an estimated annual effective tax rate of 28% and 24%, respectively, excluding discrete items

We recognized a net discrete tax benefitbenefits of $5 million and $9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and $5 million2022, respectively. The discrete benefits primarily relate to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation and inflationary adjustments.
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ("IRA") was signed into law. The IRA levies a 1% excise tax on net stock repurchases after December 31, 2022 and imposes a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax ("CAMT") for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022.

NOTE 11. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

We have stock award plans for key employees and directors, pursuant to which awards of stock options, SSARs, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance stock units are granted. In addition, we offer an employee stock purchase plan to employees.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we granted awards of 135,381 restricted stock units and 88,239 performance stock units, at an average grant date fair value of $70.55 per share.

We recognized $7 million and $1 million in stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. At March 31, 2022, there was $36 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested performance stock units, restricted stock units, and SSARs attributable to future service.

Estimates of our loss contingencies are based on various assumptions and judgments. Due to the numerous uncertainties and variables associated with these assumptions and judgments, both the precision and reliability of the resulting estimates of the related contingencies are subject to substantial uncertainties. We regularly monitor our estimated exposure to contingencies and, as additional information becomes known, may change our estimates significantly. While no estimate of the range of any such change can be made at this time, the amount that we may ultimately pay in connection with these matters could materially exceed, in either the near term or the longer term, the amounts accrued to date. Our estimates of our loss contingencies do not reflect potential future recoveries from insurance carriers except to the extent that recovery may, from time to time, be deemed probable as a result of an insurer’s agreement to payment terms.

Environmental Matters

We maintain a reserve for undiscounted estimated environmental loss contingencies. This reserve is primarily for estimated future costs of remediation of hazardous or toxic substances at numerous sites currently or previously owned by the Company. Our estimates of our environmental loss contingencies are based on various assumptions and judgments, the specific nature of which varies considering the particular facts and circumstances surrounding each environmental loss contingency. These estimates typically reflect assumptions and judgments as to the
14


probable nature, magnitude, and timing of the required investigation, remediation, and/or monitoring activities and the probable cost of these activities, and in some cases, reflect assumptions and judgments as to the obligation or willingness and ability of third parties to bear a proportionate or allocated share of the cost of these activities. Due to the numerous uncertainties and variables associated with these assumptions and judgments, and the effects of changes in governmental regulation and environmental technologies, both the precision and reliability of the resulting estimates of the related contingencies are subject to substantial uncertainties. We regularly monitor our estimated exposure to environmental loss contingencies and, as additional information becomes known, may change our estimates significantly.

Other Proceedings

From time to time, we and our subsidiaries are parties to certain legal proceedings. Based on the information currently available, management believes the resolution of such proceedings will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or liquidity.

NOTE 13.11. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

We review the carrying values of our long-lived assets for potential impairments and believe we have adequate support for the carrying valuevalues of our long-lived assets. If demand and pricing for our products fall to levels significantly below cycle average demand and pricing, should we decide to invest capital in alternative projects, or should changes occur related to our wood supply for our mills, it is possible that future impairment charges will be required. As of March 31, 2022,2023, there were no indications of impairment.
We also review from time to time potential dispositions of various assets, considering current and anticipated economic and industry conditions, our strategic plan, and other relevant factors. Because a determination to dispose of particular assets can require management to make assumptions regarding the transaction structure of the disposition and to estimate the netNet sales proceeds, which may be less than previous estimates of undiscounted future net cash flows, we may be required to record impairment charges in connection with decisions to dispose of assets.

15



NOTE 14.12. PRODUCT WARRANTIES

We offer warranties on the sale of most of our products and record an accrual for estimated future claims. Such accruals are based upon historical experience and management’s estimate of the level of future claims. The activity in warranty reserves for the three months ended March 31, 20222023 and 2021,2022, is summarized in the following table (dollar amounts in millions):

However, it is possible that additional changes may be required in the future.

In November 2021, the Company initiated the termination of our frozen U.S. and Canadian defined benefit pension plans (the(collectively, the Plan), which would result in the full settlement of the Company's Plan obligations. The distributionDuring the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company liquidated substantially all of the Plan assets pursuant to fund lump-sum distributions to participants and purchase non-participating group annuity contracts. As a result, a substantial portion of the Plan was settled during the year ended December 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company completed the termination of the Plan resulting in recognition of non-cash, pre-tax charges of $6 million from Accumulated comprehensive loss to Other non-operating items in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Liquidation of remaining Plan assets in surplus of the defined benefit pension obligation will not be made untilonce the Plan termination satisfies all regulatory requirements, which is expected to occur by the end of 2022. Plan participants will receive their full accrued benefits from Plan assets by electing either lump-sum distributions or annuity contracts with a qualifying third-party annuity provider. be completed during 2023.
The Plan termination is expected to resultchanges recognized in pension settlement expense in 2022, which will be determined based on prevailing market conditions, the actual lump-sum distributions, and annuity purchase rates at the date of distribution. As a result, we are currently unable to reasonably estimate the timing or final amount of such settlement charges.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion includes statements that are forward-looking statements that are based on the beliefs of our management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to our management. See "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

General

We are a leading provider of high-performance building solutions that meet the demands of builders, remodelers, and homeowners worldwide. We have leveraged our expertise serving the new home construction, repair and remodeling, and outdoor structures markets to become an industry leader known for innovation, quality, reliability, and reliability.sustainability. Our manufacturing facilities are located in the U.S., Canada, Chile, and Brazil.

To serve these markets, we primarily operate in fourthree segments: Siding, OSB, EWP, and South America.

During 2021, we ceased Laminated Strand Lumber (LSL) production at our Houlton, Maine facility to begin the conversion of that facility to Siding Solutions (defined below) production. We continue to explore strategic alternatives with respect to the remaining EWP segment, including a possible sale in whole or in part, as previously announced.

During the three months endedIn March 31, 2022, we sold our 50% equity interest in two joint ventures that produce I-joists to Resolute Forest Products Inc. (Resolute) for $59 million. The joint ventures were comprised of Resolute-LP Engineered Wood Larouche Inc. in Larouche, Quebec, and Resolute-LP Engineered Wood St-Prime Limited Partnership in Saint-Prime, Quebec. The total net carrying value of our equity method investment at the date of sale was $19 million. We recognized a gain onIn August 2022, LP completed the sale of $39the EWP segment assets to the Purchaser in exchange for the Purchaser’s payment to the Company of $217 million in gross cash proceeds. The historical results of the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, within Other operating credits and charges, net,EWP segment are reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as discontinued operations. See "Note 7 – Discontinued Operations" of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Income. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Incomethis quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 include income from these joint ventures of $5 million and $2 million, respectively. In connection with the closing of the sale of our equity interest in the joint ventures, LP entered into separate agreements with Resolute to continue serving as the exclusive distributor of the engineered wood products manufactured at the two operations.

Demand for our Building Products

Demand for our products correlates positively with new home construction and repair and remodeling activity in North America, which historically has been characterized by significant cyclicality. The U.S. Department of Census Bureau reported on April 19, 2022,18, 2023, that actual singlesingle-family housing starts were 3% higher29% lower for the three months ended March 31, 2022,2023, as compared to the same period in 2021.2022. Actual multi-family housing starts for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were about 5% higher as compared to the same period in 2022. Repair and remodeling activity is difficult to reasonably measure, but many indications including the increase in LP’s retail sales, suggest that repair and remodeling activity is continuing to grow.show resiliency.

Although housing market demand has recently been very strong, futureFuture economic conditions in the United States and the demand for homes remainare uncertain due to continuing COVID-19-related disruptions, government directives, actions and economic relief efforts related thereto, and the impact of these actionsinflationary impacts on the economy, including interest rates, employment levels, consumer confidence, and financial markets, among other things. Additionally, as a result of increased demand in the housing market and a strengthening economy in the United States, we have experienced increases in material prices, supply disruptions, and labor shortages,challenges, which will be a challenge for LP as we continue to address as we work to meet the demands of builders, remodelers, and homeowners worldwide. The potential effect of these factors on our future operational and financial performance is uncertain. As a result, our past performance may not be indicative of future results.

Supply and Demand for Siding
Siding Solutions is a specialty building material and is subject to competition from various siding technologies, including vinyl, stucco, wood, fiber cement, brick, and others. We believe we are the largest manufacturer in the engineered wood siding market. We have consistently grown our Siding Solutions above the underlying market growth rates. Siding Solutions is generally less sensitive to new housing market cyclicality since demand comes from other markets, including sheds and repair and remodel. Our growth in this market depends upon the continued displacement of vinyl, wood, fiber cement, stucco, bricks, and other alternatives, our product innovation and our technological expertise in wood and wood composites to address the needs of our customers.
2019


Supply and Demand for OSB

OSB is a commodity product, and it is subject to competition from manufacturers worldwide. Product supply is influenced primarily by fluctuations in available manufacturing capacity and imports. The ratio of overall OSB demand to capacity generally drives price. We experienced increased demand for commodity OSB duringDuring the three months ended March 31, 2022; however, we2023, OSB commodity prices have fallen with the decline in market demand for OSB commodity product. We cannot predict whether the prices of our OSB products will remain at current levels or increase or decrease in the future.

For additional factors affecting our results, refer to the “Overview” within our “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section and our “Risk Factors” section contained in our 20212022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and to the “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” section in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates

Note 1 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 20212022 Annual Report on Form 10-K is a discussion of our significant accounting policies and significant accounting estimates and judgments. Throughout the preparation of the financial statements, we employ significant judgments in the application of accounting principles and methods. These judgments are primarily related to the assumptions used to arrive at various estimates.

While thereThere have been no changes in the application of principles, methods, and assumptions used to determine our significant estimates since December 31, 2021, we may be required to revise certain accounting estimates and judgments related to the economic and business impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, such as, but not limited to, those related to the valuation of goodwill, intangibles, long-lived assets, accounts receivable, and inventory, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Key Performance Indicators

In evaluating our business, we utilize non-GAAP financial measures that fall within the meaning of SEC Regulation G and Regulation S-K Item 10(e), which we believe provide users of the financial information with additional meaningful comparison to prior reported results. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have standardized definitions and are not defined by U.S. GAAP. In this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we disclose incomeIncome attributed to LP from continuing operations before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and excludeexcluding stock-based compensation expense, loss on impairment attributed to LP, product-line discontinuance charges, other operating credits and charges, net, loss on early debt extinguishment, investment income, pension settlement charges, and other non-operating items as Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations (Adjusted EBITDA), which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We have included Adjusted EBITDA in this report because we view it as an important supplemental measure of our performance and believe that it is frequently used by interested persons in the evaluation of companies that have different financing and capital structures and/or tax rates. We also disclose incomeIncome attributed to LP from continuing operations, excluding loss on impairment attributed to LP, product-line discontinuance charges, interest expense outside of normal operations, other operating credits and charges, net, loss on early debt extinguishment, gain (loss) on acquisition, and pension settlement charges, and adjusting for a normalized tax rate, as Adjusted Income from continuing operations (Adjusted Income). We also disclose Adjusted Diluted EPS from continuing operations (Adjusted Diluted EPS), calculated as Adjusted Income divided by diluted shares outstanding. We believe that Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted Income are useful measures for evaluating our ability to generate earnings and that providing these measures should allow interested persons to more readily compare the earnings for past and future periods.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS are not substitutes for the U.S. GAAP measures of netNet income, Income attributed to LP from continuing operations, and netNet income attributed to LP from continuing operations per diluted share or for any other U.S. GAAP measures of operating performance. It should be noted that other companies may present similarly titled measures differently, and therefore, as presented by us, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

EBITDA, Adjusted Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS have material limitations as performance measures because they exclude items that are actually incurred or experienced in connection with the operation of our business.

Key Performance Indicators

In addition, management monitors certain key performance indicators to evaluate our business performance, which include our Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and our sales volume relative to housing starts, as provided by reports from the U.S. Department of Census.

Census Bureau.
The following tables set forth: (1) housing starts, (2) our North American sales volume, and (3) OEE. We consider the following items to be key performance indicators because LP’s management uses these metrics to evaluate our business and trends, measure our performance, and make strategic decisions, and believes that the key performance indicators presented provide additional perspective and insights when analyzing the core operating performance of LP. These key performance indicators should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for, or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the U.S. GAAP financial measures presented herein. These measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled performance indicators used by other companies.

We monitor housing starts, which is a leading external indicator of residential construction in the United States that correlates with the demand for many of our products. We believe that this is a useful measure for evaluating our results and that providing this measure should allow interested persons to more readily compare our sales volume for past and future periods to an external indicator of product demand. Other companies may present housing start data differently, and therefore, ashousing starts data presented by us our housing start data may not be comparable to similarly-titled indicators reported by other companies.

We monitor sales volumes for our products in our Siding, OSB and EWPSouth America segments, which we define as the number of units of our products sold within the applicable period. Evaluating sales volume by product type helps us identify and address changes in product demand, broad market factors that may affect our performance, and opportunities for future growth. It should be noted that other companies may present sales volumes differently and, therefore, as presented by us, sales volumes may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. We believe that sales volumes can be a useful measure for evaluating and understanding our business.

We measure OEE of each of our mills to track improvements in the utilization and productivity of our manufacturing assets. OEE is a composite metric that considers asset uptime (adjusted for capital project downtime and similar events), production rates, and finished product quality. It should be noted that other companies may present OEE differently and, therefore, as presented by us, OEE may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. We believe that when used in conjunction with other metrics, OEE can be a useful measure for evaluating our ability to generate profits, and that providing this measure should allow interested persons to more readily monitor operational improvements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our principal sources of liquidity are existing cash and investment balances, cash generated by our operations, and our ability to borrow under such credit facilities as we may have in effect from time to time. We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our short- and long-term cash requirements. As such, we project our anticipated cash requirements as well as cash flows generated from operating activities to meet those needs. We anticipate long-term cash uses may also include strategic acquisitions. On a long-term basis, we will continue to rely on our credit facility for any long-term funding not provided by operating cash flows. We may also, from time to time, issue and sell equity, debt, or hybrid securities or engage in other capital market transactions.

Our principal uses of liquidity are paying the costs and expenses associated with our operations, servicing outstanding indebtedness, paying dividends, and making capital expenditures. We may also, from time to time, prepay or repurchase outstanding indebtedness or shares or acquire assets or businesses that are complementary to our operations. Any such repurchases may be commenced, suspended, discontinued, or resumed, and the method or methods of effecting any such repurchases may be changed, at any time, or from time to time, without prior notice.
We expect to fund our capital expenditures over at least the next 12 months through cash on hand, cash generated from operations, and available borrowing under our Amended Credit Facility, as necessary.

Potential Impairments

We review the carrying values of our mill and investmentlong-lived assets for potential impairments at least annually and believe we have adequate support for the carrying valuevalues of our long-lived assets as of March 31, 2022.

2023. In April 2023, we announced the shutdown of Entekra. We expect this to result in a pre-tax, non-cash impairment charge of between $25 million and $30 million in the second quarter of 2023.
If demand and pricing for our products arefall to levels significantly below cycle average demand and pricing, should we decide to invest capital in alternative projects, or should changes occur related to our wood supply for these locations, or should demand and pricing of our products fall as a result of the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic,mills, it is possible that future impairment charges will be required. As of March 31, 2022,2023, there were no indications of impairment.

We also review from time to time possiblepotential dispositions of various assets, considering current and anticipated economic and industry conditions, our strategic plan, and other relevant factors. Because a determination to dispose of particular assets can require management to make assumptions regarding the transaction structure of the disposition and to estimate the netNet sales proceeds, which may be less than previous estimates of undiscounted future net cash flows, we may be required to record impairment charges in connection with decisions to dispose of assets.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our international operations have exposure to foreign currency rate risks, primarily due to fluctuations in the Canadian dollar, the Brazilian real, and the Chilean peso. Although we have in the past entered into foreign exchange contracts associated with certain of our indebtedness and may continue to enter into foreign exchange contracts associated with major equipment purchases to manage a portion of the foreign currency rate risk, we historically have not entered into material currency rate hedges with respect to our exposure from operations, although we may do so in the future.

Some of our products are sold as commodities, and therefore sales prices fluctuate daily based on market factors over which we have little or no control. The most significant commodity product we sell is OSB. There have been no material changes to the assumed production capacity and annual average price sensitivity previously disclosed under the caption “Item 3:7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk)”Risk” in our 20212022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We are exposed to market risk associated with changes in interest rates on our variable rate long-term debt. As of March 31, 2022,2023, we had no outstanding amounts borrowed under our Amended Credit Facility. We do not currently have any derivative or hedging arrangements, or other known exposures, to changes in interest rates.

We historically have not entered into material commodity futures and swaps, although we may do so in the future.

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


The description of certain legal and environmental matters involving LP set forth in Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q under Note 12 to10 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein is incorporated herein by reference.


ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, an investor should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” inof the Company’s 20212022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Except as set forth below, there were no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed under the caption "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in Part I of our 20212022 Annual Report on Form 10-K:10-K.

Our cash, cash equivalents and investments could be adversely affected if the financial institutions in which we hold our cash, cash equivalents and investments fail.
The impactWe regularly maintain cash balances at third-party financial institutions in excess of the Russian invasionFederal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) insurance limit. The FDIC took control and was appointed receiver of UkraineSilicon Valley Bank and New York Signature Bank on March 10, 2023 and March 12, 2023, respectively. The Company does not have any direct exposure to Silicon Valley Bank or New York Signature Bank. However, if other banks and financial institutions enter receivership or become insolvent in the global economy, energy suppliesfuture in response to financial conditions affecting the banking system and raw materials is uncertain, butfinancial markets, our ability to access our existing cash, cash equivalents and investments may prove to negatively impact our businessbe threatened and operations.

The short and long-term implications of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine are difficult to predict at this time. We continue to monitor anycould have a material adverse impact that the outbreak of war in Ukraine and the subsequent institution of sanctions against Russia by the United States and several European and Asian countries may haveeffect on the global economy in general, on our business and operations and on the businesses and operations of our suppliers and customers. For example, a prolonged conflict may result in increased inflation, escalating energy prices and constrained availability, and thus increasing costs, of raw materials. We will continue to monitor this fluid situation and develop contingency plans as necessary to address any disruptions to our business operations as they develop. To the extent the war in Ukraine may adversely affect our business as discussed above, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, such as those relating to data security, supply chain, volatility in prices of materials, and market conditions, any of which could negatively affect our business and financial condition.

The risks as described in our 20212022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as supplemented above, are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results, or cash flows.
