Challenges in maintaining sales and marketing personnel productivity, the adverse impact of global conditions like the COVID-19 pandemic on operations and supply chains, intense competition, and potential misuse of solutions also pose threats to the company's reputation and financial performance. Managing rapid growth and addressing AI-related ethical issues are also critical - Cellebrite's success depends on continuous development of advanced solutions and integration with evolving software, especially given constant changes by **OEMs** and other software manufacturers[41](index=41&type=chunk) - The company is materially dependent on law enforcement and government agencies, which accounted for approximately **90% of revenue** in 2019, 2020, and 2021[43](index=43&type=chunk) - The **COVID-19 pandemic** has caused supply chain disruptions, customer onboarding delays, and a shift to remote training, negatively impacting business and financial results[49](index=49&type=chunk)[52](index=52&type=chunk)[53](index=53&type=chunk) - Cellebrite operates in competitive markets, facing **pricing pressures** and potential market share loss to competitors with greater resources or lower-priced alternatives[55](index=55&type=chunk)[56](index=56&type=chunk)[58](index=58&type=chunk) - Customer misuse of solutions, especially by less sophisticated IT departments, can lead to inadequate performance, contract terminations, **negative publicity**, or legal claims[61](index=61&type=chunk) - Rapid growth, with revenue increasing from **$111 million in 2017 to $246 million in 2021** and headcount from **475 to 898**, strains resources and requires significant expenditures[69](index=69&type=chunk) - Issues with **artificial intelligence (AI)**, such as flawed algorithms or biased data, could result in reputational harm or legal liability[77](index=77&type=chunk) - Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, especially between the **U.S. dollar and Israeli new shekels (ILS)**, can materially affect financial results by impacting pricing, sales, and operating expenses[81](index=81&type=chunk) - The sales cycle for some solutions, particularly larger government transactions, can be **lengthy**, potentially delaying revenue and impacting financial performance[82](index=82&type=chunk) - Operational security and software integrity are critical; breaches from **cyberattacks**, human error, or system vulnerabilities could lead to liabilities and reputational damage[90](index=90&type=chunk) [Risks Related to the Businesses of Cellebrite's Customers](index=22&type=section&id=Risks%20Related%20to%20the%20Businesses%20of%20Cellebrite%27s%20Customers) Cellebrite's sales to government customers expose it to business volatility due to budgeting cycles, potential early contract termination, and risks from audits, investigations, sanctions, and penalties. Declines in government budgets or shifts in spending priorities could adversely affect revenue. Additionally, revenue from private sector customers is susceptible to weakening economic conditions, which may lead to delayed technology purchases, reduced demand, and difficulties in collecting accounts receivable - Sales to government customers, representing approximately **90% of revenue** from 2019-2021, expose Cellebrite to business volatility from budgeting cycles, early contract termination, and potential audits or sanctions[93](index=93&type=chunk)[94](index=94&type=chunk)[96](index=96&type=chunk) - Declines in government budgets, shifts in spending priorities, or delays in contract awards can significantly and **adversely affect future revenue** and growth prospects[96](index=96&type=chunk) - Evolving government procurement policies and increased emphasis on cost over performance can complicate sales efforts, leading to **delays or terminations of contracts**[100](index=100&type=chunk) - Changes in **U.S. civil forfeiture laws** could limit funds for law enforcement customers, adversely affecting their ability to purchase Cellebrite's solutions[101](index=101&type=chunk) - Revenue from private sector customers is vulnerable to **weakening economic conditions**, potentially causing delayed or reduced technology purchases, longer sales cycles, and difficulties in collecting accounts receivable[102](index=102&type=chunk)[104](index=104&type=chunk) [Risks Related to Cellebrite's Intellectual Property](index=24&type=section&id=Risks%20Related%20to%20Cellebrite%27s%20Intellectual%20Property) Cellebrite's success relies on its ability to adequately obtain, maintain, protect, and enforce its intellectual property (IP) and proprietary rights, which are vulnerable to unauthorized disclosure, misappropriation, infringement, and challenges to validity. The company's use of open-source software in its solutions also poses risks of license violations or security vulnerabilities. Furthermore, Cellebrite faces the risk of claims from third parties alleging IP infringement, which could lead to significant costs, litigation, and diversion of management attention - Failure to adequately protect and enforce **intellectual property (IP)** rights could adversely affect Cellebrite's business due to unauthorized disclosure, use, or infringement by third parties[106](index=106&type=chunk) - Cellebrite is vulnerable to **IT system breaches**, failures, or disruptions (e.g., cyberattacks, malware) that could harm operations, financial condition, or reputation, especially with increased remote work[109](index=109&type=chunk)[112](index=112&type=chunk) - The use of **open-source software** may pose risks, including requirements to offer proprietary software for free, release source code, or re-engineer solutions due to license changes or security vulnerabilities[114](index=114&type=chunk) - Third parties may claim **IP infringement**, leading to costly litigation, unfavorable license terms, or the need to rework/rebrand solutions, materially harming future revenue and profits[116](index=116&type=chunk)[118](index=118&type=chunk) [Risks Related to Data Privacy and Human Rights](index=28&type=section&id=Risks%20Related%20to%20Data%20Privacy%20and%20Human%20Rights) Cellebrite's solutions, particularly those used for digital investigations, may be perceived or legally determined to violate privacy rights and related laws, potentially harming its reputation and financial results. The company strives to ensure its products are used lawfully and ethically, but cannot guarantee against misuse by customers, which could lead to reputational damage or legal claims. Decisions to avoid doing business in certain countries due to human rights concerns may impact growth prospects. Additionally, occasional limited access to third-party data during technical support or advanced services poses security and liability risks - Certain Cellebrite solutions may be perceived or legally determined to **violate privacy rights**, adversely affecting revenue and results of operations[119](index=119&type=chunk)[120](index=120&type=chunk) - Customer misuse of solutions, even without company knowledge, could adversely affect Cellebrite's reputation, revenue, and operations, as seen with past allegations regarding **Hong Kong**[121](index=121&type=chunk)[122](index=122&type=chunk)[124](index=124&type=chunk) - Cellebrite may decline business with customers whose activities are inconsistent with its values, avoiding countries like **Bangladesh, Belarus, China, Hong Kong, Macau, Russia, and Venezuela** due to human rights and data security concerns[125](index=125&type=chunk)[126](index=126&type=chunk) - Occasional limited access to **personally identifiable information (PII)** during technical support poses security breach and unauthorized access risks, leading to significant legal and financial liabilities[129](index=129&type=chunk)[130](index=130&type=chunk) [Risks Related to Legal Compliance and Regulatory Matters](index=30&type=section&id=Risks%20Related%20to%20Legal%20Compliance%20and%20Regulatory%20Matters) Cellebrite operates in complex and evolving regulatory environments, including U.S. and non-U.S. laws on privacy, data protection, security, and technology protection (e.g., GDPR, CCPA). Non-compliance can lead to claims, penalties, increased costs, and business practice changes. The company is subject to Israeli encryption laws and governmental trade controls, with non-compliance potentially resulting in financial penalties and reputational harm. As a government contractor, it must adhere to specific laws and regulations, and failure to do so could lead to loss of contracts or sanctions. The company's largest shareholder, SUNCORPORATION (50.7%), exerts significant influence over corporate decisions - Cellebrite is subject to complex U.S. and non-U.S. privacy, data protection, and security regulations (e.g., **GDPR, CCPA, CPRA**), where non-compliance can lead to claims, penalties, and increased costs[131](index=131&type=chunk)[132](index=132&type=chunk)[134](index=134&type=chunk)[136](index=136&type=chunk) - Export of Cellebrite's solutions is subject to **Israeli encryption control laws** and governmental trade controls, including potential **Wassenaar Arrangement** application, which could restrict sales and impose new licensing requirements[141](index=141&type=chunk)[142](index=142&type=chunk)[144](index=144&type=chunk) - As a government contractor, non-compliance with laws, regulations, or contractual provisions could lead to **loss of government customers**, audits, investigations, sanctions, or debarment from future business[149](index=149&type=chunk)[150](index=150&type=chunk) - **SUNCORPORATION**, holding **50.7%** of Ordinary Shares, exerts significant influence over shareholder decisions, including director elections and potential change of control transactions[145](index=145&type=chunk) [Risks Relating to Cellebrite's Incorporation and Location in Israel](index=35&type=section&id=Risks%20Relating%20to%20Cellebrite%27s%20Incorporation%20and%20Location%20in%20Israel) Cellebrite's operations in Israel expose it to political, economic, and military conditions in the region, including armed conflicts and boycotts, which could disrupt business and negatively affect results. Enforcing U.S. judgments against the company or its non-U.S. resident officers and directors in Israel can be difficult due to differences in legal systems. Shareholder rights and responsibilities are governed by Israeli law, which may differ from U.S. corporate law, and certain provisions in the Amended Articles may discourage lawsuits - Cellebrite's Israeli operations expose it to regional political, economic, and military conditions, including **armed conflicts and boycotts**, which could adversely affect business and operations[152](index=152&type=chunk)[153](index=153&type=chunk) - Enforcing **U.S. judgments** against Cellebrite or its non-U.S. officers and directors in Israel, or asserting U.S. securities claims, may be difficult due to differing legal systems and asset locations[154](index=154&type=chunk)[155](index=155&type=chunk)[156](index=156&type=chunk) - Shareholder rights and responsibilities are governed by **Israeli law**, which may differ from U.S. corporate law, including duties of good faith and fairness[157](index=157&type=chunk) - Provisions in the Amended Articles, such as **exclusive forum clauses**, may discourage lawsuits against Cellebrite and its directors and officers[158](index=158&type=chunk)[159](index=159&type=chunk)[161](index=161&type=chunk) [Risks Relating to an Investment in our Securities](index=38&type=section&id=Risks%20Relating%20to%20an%20Investment%20in%20our%20Securities) The market price of Cellebrite's Ordinary Shares has been and is likely to remain volatile, influenced by potential future resales by shareholders, company-specific announcements, analyst publications, and general economic and market conditions. The company's status as a 'foreign private issuer' and an 'emerging growth company' allows for reduced disclosure and governance requirements, which may make its securities less attractive to some investors and potentially lead to less active trading or increased price volatility - Future resales of Ordinary Shares, especially after **lock-up periods expire**, may cause the market price to drop significantly[162](index=162&type=chunk)[165](index=165&type=chunk) - Share price is volatile due to company/competitor announcements, analyst publications, insider stock sales, and general economic conditions, including **COVID-19** impact[175](index=175&type=chunk)[176](index=176&type=chunk) - As a **'foreign private issuer,'** Cellebrite can file less or different information with the SEC and follow home country governance, potentially offering less information or protection to U.S. investors[166](index=166&type=chunk)[167](index=167&type=chunk)[168](index=168&type=chunk) - As an **'emerging growth company,'** Cellebrite benefits from reduced disclosure and governance (e.g., **Section 404** exemption), potentially making its securities less attractive and increasing price volatility[171](index=171&type=chunk)[172](index=172&type=chunk) [Risks Related to the Israeli Tax Treatment of Cellebrite and the Merger](index=41&type=section&id=Risks%20Related%20to%20the%20Israeli%20Tax%20Treatment%20of%20Cellebrite%20and%20the%20Merger) Cellebrite's effective tax rate on business income and Israeli withholding tax on dividends may be higher than expected if the company does not qualify for certain Israeli tax benefits. The company may also be subject to deferred Israeli corporate tax liability with respect to payments made from income that was previously exempt from Israeli corporate tax. There is uncertainty regarding the Transaction Tax Ruling for the Merger, and if it is not obtained or is unfavorable, Cellebrite may be required to indemnify the Indemnified TWC Parties for Israeli withholding tax liability - If Cellebrite does not qualify for **Israeli tax benefits**, its effective tax rate on business income and Israeli withholding tax on dividends may be higher than expected[185](index=185&type=chunk)[186](index=186&type=chunk) - Cellebrite may face **deferred Israeli corporate tax liability** if it pays dividends from previously tax-exempt income or if certain transactions are deemed distributions[187](index=187&type=chunk)[188](index=188&type=chunk) - There is no certainty the **Transaction Tax Ruling** for the Merger will be favorable; otherwise, Cellebrite may need to indemnify TWC Parties for Israeli withholding tax liability[190](index=190&type=chunk)[191](index=191&type=chunk) [General Risk Factors](index=43&type=section&id=General%20Risk%20Factors) This section outlines general risks including those associated with joint ventures, partnerships, and strategic alliances, which may divert management attention and not yield expected benefits. Acquisitions also pose risks such as negative financial impact, integration difficulties, and unforeseen liabilities. International operations expose the company to business, political, and economic risks, including foreign exchange fluctuations and regulatory changes. Impairment of goodwill or intangible assets could lead to significant charges, and variations in income tax provisions may adversely affect financial results. Non-compliance with anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws can result in severe penalties and reputational harm. Changes in pricing structures may impact sales and revenue. Finally, failure to maintain effective internal controls could impair financial reporting and compliance - Joint ventures, partnerships, and strategic alliances involve significant investments, may not advance strategy, can distract management, and expose Cellebrite to **unexpected liabilities** or uncooperative partners[192](index=192&type=chunk)[193](index=193&type=chunk) - Acquisitions or investments may divert management, result in **shareholder dilution**, and pose risks like negative financial impact, integration difficulties, and unforeseen liabilities[194](index=194&type=chunk)[195](index=195&type=chunk)[196](index=196&type=chunk) - Cellebrite's international operations face business, political, and economic risks, including compliance challenges, **foreign currency fluctuations**, and geopolitical conflicts like **Russia-Ukraine tensions**[197](index=197&type=chunk)[198](index=198&type=chunk) - Impairment of **goodwill or intangible assets** could require a significant charge to earnings, negatively affecting results of operations[201](index=201&type=chunk) - Cellebrite is subject to **anti-corruption, anti-bribery (e.g., FCPA, U.K. Bribery Act), anti-money laundering, and economic sanctions laws**; non-compliance can lead to criminal penalties, significant fines, and reputational harm[204](index=204&type=chunk)[205](index=205&type=chunk)[206](index=206&type=chunk) - Changes in **pricing structures**, driven by competition or economic conditions, could adversely impact Cellebrite's ability to attract new customers and grow sales and revenue[207](index=207&type=chunk) - Failure to maintain effective **internal controls** could impair timely and accurate financial reporting or regulatory compliance, potentially leading to restatements or loss of investor confidence[208](index=208&type=chunk)[210](index=210&type=chunk) [Item 4.
