Our international operations are subject to risks not generally experienced by our U.S. operations.

Our international operations are subject to risks not generally experienced by our U.S. operations, and if such risks materialize, our profitability may be adversely affected. Such risks include, but are not limited to:

 

  •   exposure to local economic conditions;

 

  •   potential adverse changes in the diplomatic relations of foreign countries with the United States;

  •   hostility from local populations;

 

  •   restrictions on the withdrawal of foreign investment and earnings;

 

  •   government policies against businesses owned by foreigners;

 

  •   investment restrictions or requirements;

 

  •   diminished ability to legally enforce our contractual rights in foreign countries;

 

  •   foreign exchange restrictions;

 

  •   fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;

 

  •   withholding and other taxes on remittances and other payments by subsidiaries; and

 

  •   changes in foreign taxation structures.

We are subject to risks from laws of various international jurisdictions that limit the right and ability of non-U.S. entities to pay dividends and remit earnings to affiliated companies, unless specified conditions have been met. In addition, we may incur substantial tax liabilities, which would adversely affect our profitability, if we repatriate any of the cash generated by our international operations back to the United States.
