The Group depends on key suppliers for raw materials, components, finished products, and packaging materials, including some sourced from single suppliers. Disruptions in supplier operations, increased freight costs, and shipping route challenges may raise production and distribution expenses. The Group cannot ensure that third-party manufacturers or suppliers will consistently meet manufacturing or supply requirements for raw materials, such as rare earth minerals and component parts, which could result in lost sales. Global trade conditions, regional tensions, tariffs, and trade policies may further affect costs and supply chain stability. Tariffs on medical devices, sub-assemblies, raw materials, or key components could increase costs, reduce pricing advantages, and negatively impact margins and cash flows. Additionally, risks associated with the Group's supply chain transformation and operational execution may disrupt product supply and performance. Smith+Nephew is identified as a supplier in the Group's filings.
