Biggest changeThe list below is not exhaustive and, therefore, investors should read this “Risk Factors” section in its entirety: Adverse macroeconomic conditions, including inflationary pressures and potential recessionary conditions, as well as actions taken by central banks and regulators across the world (including the U.S. government’s debt ceiling policies and contemplated or actual budget and tax cuts) in an attempt to reduce, curtail and address such pressures and conditions; Our quarterly results of operations have fluctuated in the past and we expect these fluctuations to continue, any actual or anticipated fluctuations in our results of operations could require that we issue revised guidance, and the failure to meet the expectations of our investors or analysts could have a material and adverse impact on our share price; Our business will be harmed if Microsoft or our other contact center, unified communications and ALL-IP project partners abandon or fail to achieve the expected growth of solutions compatible with our products or if we are unable or unwilling to change our products when and as may be required in order to remain a certified partner; If our new products fail to generate anticipated demand, we will realize a lower-than-expected return from our investment in research and development; Rapid technological development in the communications equipment market necessitates that we effectively manage transition to the next generation of our products; The increased adoption of IP networks may adversely affect the demand for media gateway products; Our results of operations could be materially and adversely affected if we cannot keep pace with technological changes impacting the development of our products and implementation of our business needs, including with respect to automation and the use of artificial intelligence, or AI; New industry standards, the modification of our products to meet additional existing standards or the addition of features to our products may delay the introduction of our products or increase our costs; Because we sell most of our products and services to customers who function as intermediaries, such as original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, network equipment providers, or NEPs, system integrators, carriers/service providers, resellers and distributors, rather than directly to end-users, we are heavily reliant on such intermediaries and have less control over the ultimate selection of products by end-users; The markets we serve are highly competitive and several of our competitors have competitive advantages over us, which may make it difficult for us to maintain profitability; We rely on (i) third-party subcontractors to assemble, and original design manufacturers, or ODMs, to design and manufacture, some of our products, and (ii) third-party suppliers to provide us with key components on a timely basis; We may need additional financing to operate or grow our business; - 2 - Table of Contents Uncertain economic conditions, macroeconomic changes and trade wars (such as the trade war between the U.S., on the one hand, and China, Mexico and Canada, on the other) may materially and adversely affect our business; The attack on Israel in October 2023 and the ensuing war with the Hamas terror organization, along with related conflicts with their supporters in Lebanon (with the Hezbollah terror organization), Yemen (with the Houthi movement), Syria and Iran, have led to an emergency call up of reserve army soldiers and caused disruption and uncertainty in Israel, including in terms of personal safety, damage to property, economic outlook, geopolitical tensions, the war effort and toll more generally, and any related ceasefires may not be sustained in the near- or long-term, if at all; Political, economic and military conditions in Israel directly affect our operations and we are subject to specific risks, such as (i) fluctuations in the value of the dollar against the NIS, and (ii) labor disputes and strikes; We are subject to ongoing costs, limitations and risks associated with complying with a wide range of rapidly changing and evolving laws and regulations in multiple jurisdictions, including with respect to intellectual property rights and protection, data privacy, AI and machine learning, the use of sustainable materials in our products, electronic waste disposal and the export control of encryption technology; Our results of operations could be materially and adversely affected if we cannot keep pace with technological changes impacting the development of our products and implementation of our business needs, including with respect to automation and the use of AI and machine learning, and any such new technology and/or products may cause us to become less competitive, and higher levels of capital expenditures may be necessary in order to remain competitive; We have a significant presence in international markets and plan to continue to expand our international operations, which exposes us to certain risks that could affect our future growth; The transition to a new presidential administration in the United States, including the potential use and effects of tariffs to address the administration’s policy goals, could materially impact the macroeconomic framework in which we operate; There are significant global shortages of critical components that we utilize in our products and therefore, we may not be able to manufacture sufficient quantities to meet market demand; and Our wage-related expenses in Israel have increased exponentially as a result of the ongoing shortage of skilled research and development, or R&D, employees in Israel, which is causing heightened competition to recruit new skilled R&D employees.

We and our third-party providers are exposed to cybersecurity risks and incidents, which may result in damage to our brand and reputation, material financial penalties, and legal liability. Our use of artificial intelligence, including generative AI, may not prove to be successful and may subject us to new or heightened legal, regulatory, ethical, operational, and reputational risks.
