Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words, such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “estimate,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “target,” “plan” or other comparable words, or by discussions of strategy that may involve risks and uncertainties.
These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results including, but not limited to, risks and uncertainties with respect to: the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, including, without limitation, supply chain and logistics issues and inflationary pressures; interest rate volatility; liabilities and restrictions imposed by the Company’s debt instruments, including the Company’s ability to comply with the applicable financial covenants related thereto;thereto or obtain any necessary amendments or waivers with respect to such financial covenants; market demand; competitive factors; supply constraints and shipping disruptions; material, logistics and energy costs, including the increased material costs resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic; inflation and deflation rates; the impact the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has on our business, financial condition or future results, including the duration and scope of such conflict, its impact on disruptions and inefficiencies in our supply chain and our ability to procure certain raw materials;materials, as well as on our energy supply in Europe; technology factors; litigation; government and regulatory actions including the impact of any tariffs, quotas, or surcharges; the Company’s accounting policies; future trends; general economic and currency conditions, including recessionary conditions; various conditions specific to the Company’s business and industry; the success of the Company’s action plan, including the actual amount of savings and timing thereof; the success of the Company’s business improvement initiatives in Europe-Africa, including the amount of savings and timing thereof; the Company’s exposure to product liability claims from customers and end users, and the costs associated therewith; factors affecting the Company’s business that are outside of its control, including natural disasters and severe weather conditions (including those caused by climate change), pandemics, including the current COVID-19 pandemic, accidents and governmental actions; our ability to regain and remain in compliance with the New York Stock Exchange’s (“NYSE”) minimum market capitalization requirement; and other risks that are discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021. The risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deemed to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial position and results of operations or cash flows.
The cautionary statements set forth above should be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict these events or how they may affect the Company. We do not undertake any obligation to review or confirm analysts’ expectations or estimates or to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as otherwise required by law.
We disclose important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations implied by our forward-looking statements under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and elsewhere in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021. These cautionary statements qualify all forward-looking statements attributed to us or persons acting on our behalf. When we indicate that an event, condition or circumstance could or would have an adverse effect on us, we mean to include effects upon our business, financial and other conditions, results of operations, prospects and ability to service our debt.

HORIZON GLOBAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Horizon Global Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Horizon Global,” “we,” “our,” or the “Company”) are a designer, manufacturer and distributor of a wide variety of high quality, custom-engineered towing, trailering, cargo management and other related accessory products in the North American, European and African markets. These products are designed to support aftermarket, automotive original equipment manufacturers (“automotive OEMs”) and automotive original equipment servicers (“automotive OESs”) (collectively, “OEs”), retail, e-commerce and industrial customers within the agricultural, automotive, construction, horse/livestock, industrial, marine, military, recreational, trailer and utility markets. The Company groups its business into operating segments generally by the region in which sales and manufacturing efforts are focused. The Company’s operating segments are Horizon Americas and Horizon Europe-Africa. See Note 13, Segment Information, for further information on the Company’s operating segments.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. It is management’s opinion that these condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, including adjustments of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Such estimates, judgments, and assumptions also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company believes estimates, judgments and assumptions made when accounting for items and matters such as, but not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, sales incentives, sales returns, impairment assessment of indefinite-lived intangible assets, recoverability of long-lived assets, income taxes (including deferred taxes and uncertain tax positions), stock compensation, the assessment of lower of cost or net realizable value on inventory, useful lives assigned to long-lived assets, depreciation and amortization, estimates related to lease liability and operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) asset valuations, estimated future unrecoverable lease costs, legal and product liability matters, valuation of debt instruments and warrants, assets and obligations related to employee benefits, and the respective allocation methods, are reasonable based on information available at the time they are made. To the extent there are differences between these estimates and actual results, our consolidated financial statements may be materially affected.
Discussion of Going Concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company has a history of recurring net operating losses and cash outflows from operations. As of June 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants in agreements governing its debt. However, based on the Company’s projected financial performance for the twelve-month period subsequent to the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company projects that it will not be in compliance with a financial covenant under the Company’s Senior Term Loan Credit Agreement, as defined in Note 7, Long-term Debt, as of March 31, 2023, which would result in an event of default. Such a default would allow the lender under the Senior Term Loan Credit Agreement to accelerate the maturity of the debt, which carries a balance of $225.0 million as of June 30, 2022, making it due and payable at that time. This would, in turn, result in cross-default of the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility, as defined in Note 7, Long-term Debt, which carries a balance of $73.9 million as of June 30, 2022. The Company does not have sufficient cash on hand or available liquidity that can be utilized to repay these outstanding amounts in the event of default.
In response to the potential covenant breach, the Company is in discussions with its lender to amend the terms of its financial covenant under the Senior Term Loan Credit Agreement. The Company has a history of successfully amending and extending credit agreements with its current lenders and believes it is probable such amendment will be completed. We believe that these actions will allow the Company to continue as a going concern and remain in compliance with our financial covenants for the twelve months from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

See Note 7, Long-term Debt,, is settled in cash andfor additional information on the conversion premium is settled in shares. Therefore, the Company has adopted a policy of calculating the diluted loss per share effectretirement of the Company’s Convertible Notes using the treasury stock method. As a result, the dilutive effect of the Convertible Notes is limited to the conversion premium, which is reflected in the calculation of diluted loss per share as if it were a freestanding written call option on the Company’s shares. Using the treasury stock method, the warrants issued in connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes are considered to be dilutive when they are in the money relative to the Company’s average common stock price during the period. The Convertible Note Hedges purchased in connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes are always considered to be anti-dilutive and therefore do not impact the Company’s calculation of diluted loss per share.Notes.

14. Income Taxes
At the end of each interim reporting period, the Company makes an estimate of the annual effective income tax rate. Tax items included in the annual effective income tax rate are pro-rated for the full year and tax items discrete to a specific quarter are included in the effective income tax rate for that quarter. Effective tax rates vary from period to period as separate calculations are performed for those countries where the Company's operations are profitable and whose results continue to be tax-effected and for those countries where full deferred tax valuation allowances exist and are maintained. In determining the estimated annual effective tax rate, the Company analyzes various factors, including but not limited to, forecasts of projected annual earnings, taxing jurisdictions in which the pretax income and/or pretax losses will be generated, and available tax planning strategies.
During the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2022, the effective income tax rate was (2.0)% and (1.4)%, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the effective income tax rate was (0.9)%59.3% and (7.1)(20.4)%, respectively. The differences in the effective tax rate compared to the statutory tax rate isare attributable to the valuation allowance recorded in the U.S. and several foreign jurisdictions, which resulted in no income tax benefit recognized for jurisdictional pretax losses, and therefore, are excluded from the estimated effective tax rate.
The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. In completing this evaluation, the Company considers all available evidence in order to determine whether, based on the weight of the evidence, a valuation allowance is necessary. Full valuation allowances that are recorded for deferred tax assets in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to reduce or eliminate them. The factors considered by management in its determination of the probability of the realization of the deferred tax assets include, but are not limited to, recent historical financial results, historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences, and tax planning strategies. If, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded. The Company has recently experienced pre-tax losses. As of March 31,June 30, 2022, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the recorded deferred tax assets will be realized.

These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements,” at the beginning of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements.
You should read the following discussion together with the Company’s reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 (See Item 1A. Risk Factors).
Overview
Headquartered in Plymouth, Michigan, Horizon Global Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Horizon Global,” “we,” “our,” or the “Company”) are a leading designer, manufacturer and distributor of a wide variety of high-quality, custom-engineered towing, trailering, cargo management and other related accessory products in the North American, European and African markets, primarily servicing the aftermarket, automotive original equipment manufacturers (“automotive OEMs”) and automotive original equipment servicers (“automotive OESs”) (collectively, “OEs”), retail, e-commerce and industrial channels, supporting our customers generally through a regional service and delivery model.
Critical factors affecting our ability to succeed include:
Our ability to realize the expected future economic benefits resulting from the changes made to our manufacturing operations, distribution footprint and management team in recent years, including the implementation of operational improvement initiatives, which are continuously ongoing to support margin expansion;
Our ability to continue to manage our liquidity, including continuing to service our debt obligations and comply with the applicable financial covenants thereto, especially given our recent debt refinancing activities and capital structure alignment to support business growth and the Company’sour long-term strategic plan;
Our ability to quickly and cost-effectively introduce new products to our customers and end-user market with a resulting streamlined customer service model and improved operating margins;
Our ability to continue to successfully launch new products and customer programs to expand or realign our geographic coverage or distribution channels and realize desired operating efficiencies and product line or customer content penetration;
Our ability to efficiently manage our cost structure via global supply base management, internal sourcing and/or purchasing of materials, freight and logistics management, selective outsourcing of support functions, working capital management and a global approach to leverage our administrative functions; and
Our ability to manage liquidity and other economic and business uncertainties including those related to the ongoing global semiconductor shortage, global shipping container and other transportation and logistics constraints, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic that may result in future business disruption, including any mandated operating restrictions such as temporary facility closures.inflation and deflation rates, interest rate volatility, the ongoing global semiconductor shortage, transportation and other logistic constraints and the COVID-19 pandemic.
If we are unable to do any of the foregoing successfully, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely impacted.
Horizon Global reports its business in two operating segments: Horizon Americas and Horizon Europe-Africa.

Supplemental Analysis and Segment Information
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company’s management utilizes Adjusted EBITDA as the key measure of company and segment performance and for planning and forecasting purposes, as management believes this measure is most reflective of the operational profitability or loss of the Company and its operating segments and provides management and investors with information to evaluate the operating performance of its business and is representative of its performance used to measure certain of its financial covenants, further discussed in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income attributable to Horizon Global, which is the most directly comparable financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA that is prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, as determined and measured by Horizon Global, should also not be compared to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company also uses operating profit (loss) to measure stand-alone segment performance.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Horizon Global before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and before certain items, as applicable, such as severance, restructuring, relocation and related business disruption costs, gains (losses) on extinguishment of debt, impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, non-cash stock compensation, certain product liability and litigation claims, acquisition and integration costs, gains (losses) on business divestitures and other assets, debt issuance costs, board transition support and non-cash unrealized foreign currency remeasurement costs.
Adjusted EBITDA for our operating segments for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 is as follows:

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31,June 30, 2022 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31,June 30, 2021
Consolidated net sales decreased $18.3$40.9 million, or 9.2%18.4%, to $180.9$181.2 million during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2022, as compared to $199.2$222.1 million during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2021. Net sales for Horizon Americas decreased $7.9$17.5 million, driven primarily by lower sales volumes in the aftermarket sales channel, partially offset by customer pricing recovery initiatives put in place in response to commodity and input cost increases. Net sales for Horizon Europe-Africa decreased $23.4 million, driven primarily by lower sales volumes in the aftermarket and OE sales channels and unfavorable currency translation, partially offset by customer pricing recovery initiatives put in place in response to commodity and input cost increases.
Gross profit margin (gross profit as a percentage of net sales) was 11.4% and 21.3% during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decline in gross profit margin is primarily due to lower net sales in Horizon Americas and Horizon Europe-Africa as detailed above, coupled with unfavorable cost performance, primarily attributable to unfavorable material, supply chain and other manufacturing input costs associated with global macroeconomic factors experienced during the second quarter of 2022.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased $4.9 million, primarily attributable to $2.0 million lower personnel and other variable compensation costs across the Company and favorable currency translation in Horizon Europe-Africa.
Operating margin (operating (loss) profit as a percentage of net sales) was (5.7)% and 5.1% during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Operating profit declined $21.6 million to an operating loss of $10.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to an operating profit of $11.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021. The changes in operating profit and operating margin were primarily due to the gross profit performance decline detailed above.
Other expense, net increased $1.4 million to $3.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $2.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily attributable to $3.3 million of higher foreign currency loss during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The loss during the three months ended June 30, 2021, was primarily attributable to the $2.2 million loss on the sale of the Company’s Brazil business, which did not recur in 2022.
Interest expense increased $1.3 million to $8.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $7.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily as a result of the Company’s amendment to its Senior Term Loan Credit Agreement, as defined below, in February 2022, which resulted in additional borrowings and increased interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. Interest expense also increased as a result of additional borrowings on the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility, as defined below. Refer to Note 7, Long-term Debt, in Part I, Item 1, “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” included within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information of the Company’s long-term debt.
The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was (2.0)% and 59.3%, respectively. The effective income tax rate for both periods is attributable to the Company’s valuation allowance recorded in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions, which resulted in no income tax benefit recognized for jurisdictional pretax losses, and therefore, are excluded from the estimated effective tax rate.
Net loss increased $23.4 million to $22.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to net income of $1.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021. The change in net loss was attributable to the operational results detailed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our capital and working capital requirements are funded through a combination of cash on hand, cash flows from operations, and various borrowings and factoring arrangements described below, including our asset-based Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below).Facility. As of March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $12.8$10.4 million and $8.2 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents held at foreign subsidiaries. There may be country specific regulations, which may restrict or result in increased costs in the repatriation of these funds.
In March 2020, the Company, as guarantor, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Eclipse Business Capital LLC, formerly known as Encina Business Credit, LLC, as agent for the lenders party thereto, and Horizon Global Americas Inc. and Cequent Towing Products of Canada Ltd., as borrowers (the “ABL Borrowers”). The Loan Agreement provides for an asset-based revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million subject to customary borrowing base limitations contained therein, and may be increased at the ABL Borrowers’ request in increments of $5.0 million, up to a maximum of five times over the life of the Revolving Credit Facility, for a total increase of up to $25.0 million. The Loan Agreement has been amended on several occasions that, among other things, increased the maximum credit available under the Revolving Credit Facility to $95.0 million. As of March 31,June 30, 2022, the Companywe had availability of $17.7$20.1 million under the Revolving Credit Facility and $16.9$16.0 million of cash and cash equivalents in the United States.
As of March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, total cash and availability was $47.4$46.5 million and $39.2 million, respectively. The Company definesWe define cash and availability as cash and cash equivalents and amounts of cash accessible but undrawn from credit facilities.
We believe the combination of these sources, as well as the changes to our capital structure following our recent refinancing activities as described below, provides us with sources of both short-term and long-term liquidity that will enable usthe Company to meet material cash obligations as well as our working capital, capital expenditures and other funding requirements for at least the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future thereafter. Our ability to fund our working capital needs, debt payments and other obligations, and to comply with financial covenants, including borrowing base limitations under our Revolving Credit Facility, depends on our future operating performance and cash flow and many factors outside of our control, including the costs of raw materials, the state of the automotive accessories market and other macroeconomic conditions.
Discussion of Going Concern
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial and economic conditionsstatements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the extentsatisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company has a history of recurring net operating losses and durationcash outflows from operations. As of June 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants in agreements governing its debt. However, based on the Company’s projected financial performance for the twelve-month period subsequent to the date of the impactfiling of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company projects that it will not be in compliance with a financial covenant under the Company’s Senior Term Loan Credit Agreement, as defined below, as of March 31, 2023, which would result in an event of default. Such a default would allow the lender under the Senior Term Loan Credit Agreement to accelerate the maturity of the COVID-19 pandemic.debt, which carries a balance of $225.0 million as of June 30, 2022, making it due and payable at that time. This would, in turn, result in cross-default of the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility, which carries a balance of $73.9 million as of June 30, 2022. The Company does not have sufficient cash on hand or available liquidity that can be utilized to repay these outstanding amounts in the event of default.
In response to the potential covenant breach, the Company is in discussions with its lender to amend the terms of its financial covenant under the Senior Term Loan Credit Agreement. The Company has a history of successfully amending and extending credit agreements with its current lenders and believes it is probable such amendment will be completed. We believe that these actions will allow the Company to continue as a going concern and remain in compliance with our financial covenants for the twelve months from the issuance of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Outlook
Our business remains susceptible to macroeconomic conditions that couldmay adversely affect our future results, including the current inflationary environment and increased energy prices, volatile interest rates, ongoing global semiconductor shortage, and the current inflationary environment as well as global shipping containertransportation and other transportation and logisticslogistic constraints. The recent conflict between Russia and Ukraine has also placed added constraints on the global automotive supply chain that may adversely impact our business. These recent macroeconomic and geopolitical factors have resulted incontributed to a delay ofin receiving raw materialscertain critical components required to fulfill orders by the Company or some of our OE customers, which has resulted in retiming some customer orders to future periods. We have also experienced increasedcontinue to experience elevated costs for certain raw materials, including steel, and while the Company endeavorswe endeavor to recover incremental input costs through pricing recovery initiatives, the recoveries generally occur over time and are not guaranteed. Consumer spending may also be adversely affected by higher inflation, including high fuel prices. However, the trend of customer orders in the economies that most significantly affect our demand has been strong, including the United States and Europe. We also continue to monitor the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and potential impacts to our operations, employees, customers and other stakeholders, as well as prioritizing the health and safety of our employees. We continue to monitor these macroeconomic factors and implement mitigating actions where possible, and remain committed to fulfilling and delivering our customers’ orders driven by the strong product demand we have experienced.customer orders.
We also remain focused on maintaining liquidity to fund our operations, while considering future maturities in our capital structure, which have been addressed and will continue to be addressed as the Company continues to execute our business plan and operational improvement initiatives in 2022.which are continuously ongoing. These initiatives were put in place to streamline and simplify the Company’sour operations and provide a roadmap to achieve our strategic priorities of margin expansion, liquidity management and organic business growth.
We believe the unique strategic footprint we enjoy in our market space will benefit usthe Company as our OE customers continue to demonstrate a preference for stronger relationships with few suppliers. We believe our strong brand positions,recognition, portfolio of product offerings, and existing customer relationships present a long-term opportunity for usthe Company and provide leverage to see balanced growth in OE, aftermarket and retail businesses. That position and brand recognition allows usthe Company flexibility to bring our products to market in various channels that we believe provide usthe Company the ability to leverage our current operational footprint to meet or exceed our customer demands.demand.
Impact of New Accounting Standards
See Note 2, New Accounting Pronouncements, included in Part I, Item 1, “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain of our accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates that affect both the amounts and timing of the recording of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These judgments are based on our historical experience, our evaluation of business and macroeconomic trends, and information from other outside sources, as appropriate.
There were no material changes to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies in Item 7,8,Management’s DiscussionFinancial Statements and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsSupplementary Data,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are subject to claims and litigation in the ordinary course of business, but we do not believe that any such claim or litigation is likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. For a description of risks related to various legal proceedings and claims, see the section entitled “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021. For additional information regarding legal proceedings, refer to Note 11, Contingencies, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
A discussion of our risk factors, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results, can be found in the section entitled “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021. There have been no significant changes in our2021, which risk factors disclosedare supplemented with the disclosure below.
We are currently out of compliance with the New York Stock Exchange’s (“NYSE”) minimum market capitalization requirement and are at risk of the NYSE delisting our common stock, which would have an adverse impact on the trading volume, liquidity and market price of our common stock.
On July 25, 2022, we were notified by the NYSE that we were not in compliance with the continued listing standard set forth in Section 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual because our 2021 Form 10-K.average market capitalization was less than $50 million over a consecutive 30 trading-day period and our stockholders’ equity was less than $50 million. We are taking actions to meet the continued listing standards of the NYSE to cure the market capitalization condition, which we expect will ultimately lead to a recovery of our common stock price and market capitalization. Our common stock could also be delisted if our average market capitalization over a consecutive 30 day-trading period is less than $15 million, in which case we would not have an opportunity to cure the deficiency, our common stock would be suspended from trading on the NYSE immediately, and the NYSE would begin the process to delist our common stock, subject to our right to appeal under NYSE rules. We cannot assure you that any appeal we undertake in these or other circumstances will be successful. While we are working to cure this potential deficiency and remain in compliance with this continued listing standard, there can be no assurance that we will be able to cure this potential deficiency or if we will cease to comply with another continued listing standard of the NYSE.
A delisting of our common stock from the NYSE could negatively impact us as it would likely reduce the liquidity and market price of our common stock; reduce the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our common stock; and negatively impact our ability to access equity markets and obtain financing.
