Risk Factors
Our business is affected by rising inflation, page 23
3.Please update your disclosure to identify actions planned or taken, if any, to mitigate
inflationary pressures.
4.If material, please expand your discussion of interest rates to specifically identify the
impact of rate increases on your operations and how your business has been affected. For
example, describe whether your borrowing costs have recently increased or are expected
to increase and your ability to pass along your increased costs to your customers.
The market price of our common stock may be volatile or may decline regardless of our
operating performance, page 27
5.We note your disclosure in this risk factor regarding the risk of price volatility. We also
note recent instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines and
stock price volatility seemingly unrelated to company performance following a number of
recent initial public offerings, particularly among companies with relatively smaller public
floats. Revise to address the potential for rapid and substantial price volatility and any
known factors particular to your offering that may add to this risk and discuss the risks to
investors when investing in stock where the price is changing rapidly. Clearly state that
such volatility, including any stock-run up, may be unrelated to your actual or expected
operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for
prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of your stock.
Industry and Market Data, page 33
6.We note your use of market and industry data here and throughout the prospectus are
derived from industry sources such as McKinsey & Company, Spherical Insights
& Consulting, Research & Markets, and Mordor Intelligence. Please revise to include the
names and dates of these studies or reports. We also note you reference estimates
compiled by these sources in your Business section. Please provide citations for this
information. If any data in the registration statement relates to publications, surveys or
reports that were commissioned by you for use in connection with the registration
statement, please also file consents of such third parties pursuant to Rule 436 of the
Securities Act.
Capitalization, page 36
7.Disclose the basis for the cash and cash equivalents and capitalization presented in the pro
forma column. Describe the pro forma effects reflected in this column, in comparison to
the actual basis and pro forma, as adjusted basis.
