ITEM 1. BUSINESS ​ their role, work setting and equipment used in their work environment. We update relevant safety training modules, which may include new training programs as our processes evolve. For more information on our approach to human capital management, please refer to our annual Corporate Social Responsibility Report, which is available on our website.

In addition, laws and regulations intended to achieve the goal of significantly reducing engine emissions associated with the operation of commercial vehicles are also being phased in by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and state regulators.

For example, the California Air Resources Board’s (“CARB”) Advanced Clean Trucks regulation, which has been adopted by several other states, requires manufacturers, including truck body chassis manufacturers that supply to us, to sell an increasing percentage of zero-emission or near zero-emission medium and heavy-duty trucks into the California market starting in calendar year 2024.

CARB’s Advanced Clean Fleets regulation sets requirements for organizations to reduce the overall emissions of the vehicle fleets they operate, which affects our customers who own and operate fleets in California. These regulations are intended to drive larger market penetration of zero-emission commercial trucks.

There are currently multiple efforts underway which seek to prevent or delay some or all of these regulations from taking effect, or otherwise seek relief from CARB’s regulations.

However, compliance with the regulations as currently written, or new or more stringent laws or regulations, or stricter interpretations of existing laws or regulations could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Government Programs We act as a subcontractor for certain U.S. and other government programs.

As a result, we are subject to regulations and requirements of the U.S. and other government agencies and entities that govern these programs, including with respect to the award, administration and performance of contracts under such programs.

All officers serve until their successors are duly chosen or elected and qualified, except in the case of earlier death, resignation or removal. William G. Miller, II is the son of William G. Miller. Other than Messrs.

RISK FACTORS In addition to information discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-K, you should carefully consider the following risk factors, as well as additional factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial, which could materially affect our business, liquidity, financial condition, and/or results of operations in future periods.

Risks Relating to Our Operations Macroeconomic trends, including inflationary pressures, and the availability of financing and uncertain interest rates, could adversely affect our business, results of operation or financial condition, as well as our customers’ ability to fund purchases of our products.

Global economic events and other factors, such as restrictive monetary and fiscal policy, the lingering impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, have contributed to significant inflation in many of the markets in which we operate. In order to combat inflation and restore price stability, the U.S.

Federal Reserve and central banks worldwide have raised interest rates and may continue incrementally raising interest rates in 2024. The combination of increased inflation and interest rates may hinder the economic growth in the U.S. and in the global economy.

This economic weakness and the possibility of a global recession have had, and may continue to have, a negative effect on our business and financial condition.

We continue to monitor these inflationary pressures closely and, when possible, attempt to mitigate the risk associated with them, including by implementing several price increases and surcharges during 2022 and a price increase effective in the first quarter of 2023.

While we have attempted to pass increased costs on to our customers, there can be no assurances that we will be able to continue doing so in the future.

It is possible that sustained price increases, surcharges or price inflation (or inflation pressure generally), in turn, may lead to declines in volume, and while we seek to project tradeoffs between price increases, surcharges and inflation, on the one hand, and volume, on the other, there can be no assurance that our projections will prove to be accurate.

Furthermore, the continued decline of the United States' credit rating or a recession in global or regional economy could negatively impact our business, financial condition, and liquidity. Any potential inflation or further pressure on credit markets could also adversely affect our and our customers' ability to continue to access preferred sources of liquidity resulting in increased borrowing costs.

Our dependence upon outside suppliers for component parts, chassis and raw materials, including aluminum, steel, and petroleum-related products, leaves us subject to changes in price and availability and delays in receiving supplies of such materials, component parts or chassis. We are dependent upon outside suppliers for our raw material needs and other purchased component parts.

Prices and availability of these raw materials are subject to substantial fluctuations that are beyond our control due to factors such as changing economic conditions, inflation, governmental regulations (including CARB’s Advanced Clean Trucks regulation), currency and commodity price fluctuations, tariffs, resource availability, transportation costs, weather conditions and natural disasters, political unrest and instability, war (such as the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine) and other factors impacting supply and demand pressures.

Delays in shipments of our raw materials and purchased component parts, including chassis, and government actions related to tariffs on imports and trade policies have previously adversely impacted, and have the potential to further impact our revenues, results of operations and financial condition.

We also continue to monitor the impact of the Russia conflict with Ukraine on our fuel costs and supply chain for materials and component parts, particularly with respect to steel and items with substantial steel content.
