Global economic and political conditions, including global health crises and geopolitical instability, broad trends in business and finance that are beyond the Company’s control may have a material impact on its business operations and those of DFIN’s clients and contribute to reduced levels of activity in the securities markets, which could adversely impact the Company’s results of operations.

Some of DFIN’s systems, operations and infrastructure rely on third parties or are supported by third-party hardware, software and data storage. The Company’s business and reputation could suffer due to negative effects of poor availability, reliability, quality, security or other performance issues of these third-party systems and services.

The Company has in the past acquired and may in the future acquire other businesses, and it may be unable to successfully integrate the operations of these businesses and may not achieve the cost savings and increased net sales anticipated as a result of these acquisitions.
