in increased inventory and reduced orders as we experience wide fluctuations
in supply and demand; the risk that our commercial Lighting Products results will continue to suffer if new issues arise regarding issues related to product quality for this business; the risk that we may experience production difficulties that preclude us from shipping sufficient quantities to meet customer orders or that result
in higher production costs and lower margins; our ability to lower costs; the risk that our results will suffer if we are unable to balance fluctuations
in customer demand and capacity, including bringing on additional capacity on a timely basis to meet customer demand; the risk that longer manufacturing
lead times may cause customers to fulfill their orders with a competitor's products instead; the risk that the economic and political uncertainty caused by the proposed tariffs by the United States on Chinese goods, and any corresponding Chinese tariffs
in response, may negatively impact demand for our products; product mix; risks associated with the ramp - up
of production
of our new products, and our entry into new business channels different from those
in which we have historically operated; the risk that customers do not maintain their favorable perception
of our brand and products, resulting
in lower demand for our products; the risk that our products fail to perform or fail to meet customer requirements or expectations, resulting
in significant additional costs, including costs associated with warranty returns or the potential recall
of our products; ongoing uncertainty
in global economic conditions, infrastructure development or customer demand that could negatively affect product demand, collectability

levels, all

of raw materials, subsystems and finished products with the required specifications and quality; the risk we may be required to record a significant charge to earnings if our goodwill or amortizable assets become impaired; risks relating to confidential information theft or misuse, including through cyber-attacks or cyber intrusion; our ability to complete development and commercialization
of products under development, such as our pipeline
of Wolfspeed products, improved LED chips, LED components, and LED lighting products risks related to our multi-year warranty periods for LED lighting products; risks associated with acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures or investments generally; the rapid development

of customer acceptance for our products; risks associated with ongoing litigation; and other factors discussed
