== Risks == === Economic and Strategic risks === Market uncertainty can impact the business and operating results conditions can influence industry fluctuations detrimental to financial result, as the semi-conductor industry is highly recurrent cycle with severe downturns which may effect Advanced Microdevices in the future. The demand for the products heavily depend on the market conditions of the industries which they are sold. Quarterly and seasonal sales patterns influence financial results, contributing to performance variations. Ensuring robust technology and intellectual property protection is vital, failure of which may undermine competitive advantage and lead to significant costs. Unfavourable currency exchange rate fluctuations introduce an added layer of uncertainty to the business outlook. === Operational and technology risks === The reliance on third-party manufacturers for product production presents a vulnerability if they are unable to do so on a timely basis, and the company may be adversely affected. This reliance exposes the company to potential disruptions or shortages that could significantly impact its operational continuity. Another key consideration revolves around the company's strategic responsiveness to industry transitions and customer preferences. The ability to timely introduce products with competitive features, aligned with these shifts, is integral to the company's success. In particular, Advanced Microdevices holds a high revenue dependence on semi-custom System-on-Chip (SoC) products, where successful integration into customers' offerings is pivotal. The susceptibility to IT outages, data breaches, and cyber-attacks poses substantial risks to both the company's intellectual property and its core operational framework. Moreover, the ongoing transition to a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system introduces an additional layer of potential challenges, which could potentially have material impacts on the company's overall operations. In the realm of supply chain management, Advanced Microdevices faces the dual challenge of adapting to shifting customer demands while maintaining effective third-party partnerships for supply-chain logistics. Effective management is not only critical to the company's ongoing success but also offers significant opportunities for growth. However, this engagement also brings inherent risks that need to be diligently managed. === Legal and regulatory risks === Advanced Microdevices product exports could encounter issues in regard to government regulations, encompassing export rules and tariffs. Potential challenges may emerge if deferred tax assets cannot be fully realized, consequently influencing operational aspects. The volatility of tax liabilities, propelled by shifts in regulations, presents inherent risks. Involvement in litigation and the potential for claims might incur substantial costs and damages, thereby influencing product sales. Furthermore, adhering to environmental laws and the conflict minerals provisions within the Dodd-Frank Act could give rise to supplementary expenses and liabilities for the business. === Merger, Acquisition and Integration risks === Inadequately integrated acquisitions, joint ventures, and investments have the potential to disrupt operations and lead to negative impacts on stock prices. Moreover, there is a concern that impairment of assets of the combined company, including goodwill, might have an adverse effect on both the financial position and the overall results.
