Supply Chain - Risk 1
Suppliers/Third-Party Vendors Risks
We may be unable to obtain an adequate supply of components, equipment, and raw materials on a timely basis. We depend on technologies provided by third-party vendors.
Supply Chain - Risk 2
Suppliers/Third-Party Vendors Risks
We may be unable to obtain an adequate supply of components, equipment, and raw materials on a timely basis. We depend on technologies provided by third-party vendors.
Supply Chain - Risk 3
Added
Our products use raw materials and components that may be subject to price fluctuations, shortages, or interruptions of supply, and if we are unable to maintain supply sources for such raw materials and components, or if such sources fail to satisfy our supply requirements, in particular with regard to semiconductor chips, we may experience a loss of sales, increased component costs, and reduced profitability.
Factors that are largely beyond our control, such as the imposition of new, or increase of existing, tariffs, cost, quality, and availability of the raw materials and components utilized in the manufacture of our products, may affect the cost of such products, and we may not be able to pass those costs on to our customers. Our products use raw materials and components that may be subject to price fluctuations, shortages, or other disruptions of supply for many reasons outside of our control. In addition, we may be dependent upon a limited number of suppliers for certain components which may be unduly affected by supply chain disruptions. The cost, quality, and availability of these raw materials and components are essential to the successful manufacture and sale of our products. If we are unable to maintain supply sources of these raw materials and components, or if such sources fail to satisfy our supply requirements, we may lose sales and experience increased component costs. We have developed and implemented strategies in an effort to mitigate the impact of price fluctuations, shortages, or other disruptions of supply, but these strategies, particularly in the event of a trade war or a prolonged inflationary environment, may only offset a portion of the adverse impact. We carry some inventory of critical components and are otherwise working to secure supplies necessary to ensure fulfillment of customer demand, but global shortages could result in our need to secure supplies at higher costs as well as manufacturing delays. Supply interruptions may result in increased component delivery lead times and increased costs to obtain components and as a result, the production of our products may be impacted. If we or our suppliers are unable to obtain components from third parties in the quantities and of the quality that we require, on a timely basis and at acceptable prices, we may not be able to deliver our products on a timely or cost-effective basis to our customers,or it may lead to us delivering products that are of a lower quality that may result in increased repair and replacement costs, which could harm our business and reputation, operating results, cash flow, and financial condition. We have also seen a period of sustained price increases for commodities used in the manufacture of our products that may continue as demand increases, supply remains constrained or trade restrictions are adopted or expanded, which has resulted in, and may continue to result in, increased costs for Omnicell and thereby potentially lower profit margins. If the costs of these commodities increase or remain elevated, it could adversely affect our business, operating results, cash flow, or financial condition.

International Operations3 | 9.1%
International Operations - Risk 1
International Operations Risks.
Our operations in foreign countries expose us to additional risks, including distribution, management, and systems integration issues, reduced intellectual property protections, adverse changes in international laws, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, political unrest, foreign conflicts, and pandemics or other major public health crises.
International Operations - Risk 2
Added
Our international operations may subject us to additional risks that can adversely affect our business, operating results, cash flow, or financial condition.
We currently have operations outside of the United States, including sales efforts centered in Canada, Europe, the Middle East, and the Asia-Pacific regions, and supply chain efforts in Asia. We intend to continue to expand our international operations, particularly in certain markets that we view as strategic, including the Middle East. Our international operations subject us to a variety of risks, including: - our reliance on distributors for the sale of our medication management solutions outside the United States, Canada, the UK, France, and Germany;- the difficulty of managing an organization operating in various countries;- reduced protection for intellectual property rights in certain jurisdictions;- the imposition of, or adverse changes in, international laws and regulations, including privacy and security, labor, import, export, trade, environmental standards, product compliance, tax, anti-bribery, and employment laws;- fluctuations in currency exchange rates and difficulties in repatriating funds from certain countries;- additional investment, coordination, and lead-time necessary to successfully interface our automation solutions with the existing information systems of our customers or potential customers outside of the United States;- political unrest, terrorism, other potential hostilities (such as the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Hamas, or future conflict between the United States and Iran), or threats of terrorism or potential hostilities (such as conflict between China and Taiwan), including in areas in which we have facilities or operations; and - epidemics, pandemics, or other major public health crises. If we are unable to anticipate and address these risks properly, our business, operating results, cash flow, or financial condition could be harmed. Furthermore, changes in export or import regulation and other trade barriers (such as tariffs) and related uncertainties may have an adverse effect on our business, including cost increases for our raw materials or components (some which we have already seen), greater uncertainty and risk in our supply chain, or an inability to accurately forecast our margins. The current political climate may be challenging for companies manufacturing goods outside of the U.S. For example, on April 2, 2025, the current U.S. administration imposed significant tariffs on a wide variety of products manufactured in virtually every foreign jurisdiction, which tariffs were subsequently paused for 90 days on April 10, 2025 and such tariffs were then expected to be reinstated on August 7, 2025. In addition, tariffs on all imports from China, which were 145% as of April 10, 2025, were subsequently paused for 90 days on May 14, 2025, with such tariff rates being 30% as of August 6, 2025. In response, several foreign countries have imposed reciprocal tariffs on goods manufactured in the United States. Furthermore, the current U.S. administration has also announced, as have other foreign governments, that it may implement other tariffs or increase existing tariffs. In recent years, the U.S. government has advocated for greater restrictions on trade generally. We cannot predict what additional actions may ultimately be taken with respect to tariffs or trade relations between the United States and other countries (including China), what products may be subject to such actions, or what other actions may be taken by the other countries in retaliation, including implementing new or increasing reciprocal tariffs. These actions may change without warning, further exacerbating our inability to anticipate or react to such actions or to accurately forecast the resulting impacts. Although we continue to work to mitigate the impact of current or potential tariffs, there can be no assurance that we will be able to offset any increased costs or other adverse impacts. As a result, we may incorrectly anticipate outcomes, forgo or pass up business opportunities, or fail to appropriately adapt or manage our business strategies in response to these changes. The adoption and expansion of trade restrictions, the occurrence of a trade war, other governmental action related to tariffs or trade agreements or policies, or the related uncertainties, has the potential to adversely impact our ability to do business outside of the United States as well as to adversely impact demand for our products or our supply chain and costs, which could, in turn, adversely affect our business, operating results, cash flow, or financial condition. In addition, certain of our competitors may be better positioned than us to withstand or react to tariffs or other restrictions on global trade and as a result, we may lose market share to such competitors.

Demand3 | 9.1%
Demand - Risk 1
Added
Failure to generate new sales and any reduction in the demand for or adoption of our medication management solutions, medication packaging systems, or related services would reduce our revenues.
A significant portion of domestic and international healthcare facilities still use traditional approaches to medication and/or supply management in some form that do not include fully automated methods of medication management. As a result, we must continuously educate existing and prospective customers about the potential advantages of our medication management solutions and medication packaging systems, which requires significant sales efforts and can cause longer sales cycles. Despite our significant efforts and extensive time commitments targeting sales to healthcare facilities, we cannot be assured that our efforts will result in sales to these customers. In addition, our medication management solutions and our more complex automated packaging systems typically represent a sizable initial capital expenditure and potential time and labor commitment to implement for healthcare organizations. Changes in the budgets of these organizations and the timing of spending under these budgets, as well as customer labor shortages, can have a significant effect on the demand for our medication management solutions, medication packaging systems, and related services. Customer budgets are often supported by cash flows that can be negatively affected by declining investment income and influenced by limited resources, increased operational and financing costs, macroeconomic conditions, and conflicting spending priorities among different departments. Furthermore, in the current fluid tariff environment, the imposition of tariffs may raise the operating costs for healthcare organizations, which in turn could put increased pressure on their budgets or capital spending as well as impact the timing of their spending. Any decrease in expenditures or change in spending priorities by healthcare facilities or increased financing costs, including as a result of the impacts of public health crises, including pandemics, could decrease demand for our medication management solutions, medication packaging systems, and related services, and reduce our revenues. Also, the continuing gradual transition to a value-based care healthcare delivery model could shift more of the burden of financial risk onto healthcare provider organizations and could decrease utilization of healthcare per patient. Value-based care could also cause a shift in sites of care from traditional venues, such as hospitals and clinics, to the home, and could impact our revenues.
Demand - Risk 2
Institutional, Retail, and Specialty Pharmacy Risks.
We may fail to meet the demands of, or maintain relationships with, our institutional and retail pharmacy customers and we may be unable to secure or maintain access to existing and future specialty drugs.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky.
    The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment.
      They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result.
        It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
          How do companies disclose their risk factors?
          Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process.
            Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”.
              Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report.
                According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
                  How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
                  Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing.
                    You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector.
                      Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements.
                        A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
