2023-02-24 21:17
Economic and Market Conditions - Significant inflation in the U.S. increased notably from late 2021 into 2022, driven by supply chain disruptions and higher commodity prices, which may adversely affect business results if costs rise faster than revenues [93]. - The company faces intense competition from both large multinational corporations and smaller specialized firms, which could lead to a loss of market share or reduced prices, negatively impacting revenues and profits [94]. - Increasing governmental incentives and consumer pressures to adopt alternative fuels may negatively impact pricing and demand for petroleum-based products, affecting profitability [100].
