Biggest changeWe also compete with companies that make weight loss drugs and other weight loss solutions outside the medical device industry. If our competitors are able to develop and market products, whether medical devices or otherwise, that are safer, more effective, easier to use, or more readily adopted by patients and health care providers, our commercial opportunities will be reduced or eliminated. Our current international operations and any expansion of our business internationally expose us to business, regulatory, political, operational, financial, and economic risks associated with doing business internationally. We depend on a limited number of single source suppliers to manufacture components, sub-assemblies, and materials, which makes us vulnerable to supply shortages and price fluctuations. The regulatory approval process is expensive, time consuming, and uncertain, and may prevent us from obtaining approvals for the commercialization of the Allurion Balloon or other products. Even if we receive regulatory approval for the Allurion Balloon in the United States and elsewhere, we will be subject to ongoing regulatory obligations and continued regulatory review, which may result in significant additional expense and subject us to penalties if we fail to comply with applicable regulatory requirements. If patients using our products experience adverse events or other undesirable side effects, regulatory authorities could withdraw or modify our regulatory approvals, which would adversely affect our reputation and commercial prospects and/or result in other significant negative consequences. 29 The medical device industry is characterized by patent litigation and we could become subject to adversarial proceedings or litigation that could be costly, result in the diversion of management’s time and efforts, result in a loss of our intellectual property, require us to pay damages, or prevent us from marketing our existing or future products. If we are not able to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our products and technologies, if the scope of our patents is not sufficiently broad, if our patents are invalidated, or if competitors gain broader patent protection, we may not be able to effectively maintain our market leading technology position. We have incurred net operating losses in the past and expect to incur net operating losses for the foreseeable future. We have a significant amount of debt, which may affect our ability to operate our business and secure additional financing in the future. We may need additional funds to support our operations, and such funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all, which would force us to delay, reduce, or suspend our planned development and commercialization efforts.
Biggest changeAs a result, we expect that our success will depend on the ability and willingness of health care providers to adopt self-pay practice management infrastructure and of patients to pay out-of-pocket for treatment with our products. Changes in coverage and reimbursement for obesity treatments and procedures could affect the adoption of the Allurion Program and our future revenues. The misuse or off-label use of our products may harm our image in the marketplace, result in injuries that lead to product liability suits or result in costly investigations and sanctions by regulatory bodies if we are deemed to have engaged in the promotion of these uses, any of which could be costly to our business. We depend on a limited number of single source suppliers to manufacture components, sub-assemblies, and materials, which makes us vulnerable to supply shortages and price fluctuations. The failure of third parties to meet their contractual, regulatory, and other obligations could adversely affect our business. 31 Even with regulatory approval for the Allurion Balloon in the United States and elsewhere, we will be subject to ongoing regulatory obligations and continued regulatory review, which may result in significant additional expense and subject us to penalties if we fail to comply with applicable regulatory requirements. The regulatory approval process is expensive, time consuming, and uncertain, and may prevent us from obtaining approvals for the commercialization of the Allurion Smart Capsule or other products.

If we are not able to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our products and technologies, if the scope of our patents is not sufficiently broad, if our patents are invalidated, or if competitors gain broader patent protection, we may not be able to effectively maintain our market leading technology position. We have incurred net operating losses in the past and expect to incur net operating losses for the foreseeable future, and there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have a significant amount of debt, which may affect our ability to operate our business and secure additional financing in the future. We may need additional funds to support our operations, and such funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all, which would force us to delay, reduce, or suspend our planned development and commercialization efforts.
Doing business in other countries outside the United States involves a number of other risks, including: compliance with the free zone regime regulations under which we and our partners operate; different regulatory requirements for device approvals in international markets; multiple, conflicting and changing laws and regulations such as tariffs and tax laws, export and import restrictions, and other regulatory requirements and governmental approvals, permits and licenses; potential failure by us or our distributors to obtain and/or maintain regulatory approvals for the sale or use of our products in various countries; 40 difficulties in managing global operations; logistics and regulations associated with shipping products, including infrastructure conditions and transportation delays; limits on our ability to penetrate international markets if our distributors do not execute successfully; governmental price controls, differing reimbursement regimes, and other market regulations; financial risks, such as longer payment cycles and difficulty enforcing contracts and collecting accounts receivable; reduced protection for intellectual property rights, or lack of such rights in certain jurisdictions, forcing more reliance on our trade secrets, if available; economic weakness, political and economic instability (including wars, terrorism and political unrest, such as attacks on commercial ships by Houthi rebels), outbreak of disease, boycotts, curtailment of trade, and other business restrictions; failure to comply with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”), including its books and records provisions and its anti-bribery provisions, by failing to maintain accurate information and control over sales activities and distributors’ activities; compliance with tax, employment, immigration and labor laws; taxes, including withholding of payroll taxes; currency fluctuations, which could result in increased operating expenses and reduced revenue, and other obligations incident to doing business in another country; workforce uncertainty in countries where labor unrest is more common than in the United States; production shortages resulting from any events affecting raw material supply or manufacturing capabilities abroad; and business and shipping interruptions resulting from natural or other disasters including earthquakes, volcanic activity, hurricanes, floods and fires, or other events outside our control.

In such cases, we may decide that the more prudent course of action is to simply monitor the situation or initiate or seek some other non-litigious action or solution. Concurrently with an infringement litigation, third parties may also be able to challenge the validity of our patents before administrative bodies in the United States or abroad.
