Filing language.
Direct excerpts from acquisition disclosures and strategy sections: the verbs the buyer chose, in the filings they signed.
“Over the last few years, some of our larger customers have been actively growing through acquisitions. This consolidation has increased the concentration of our largest customers, resulting in increased pricing pressure from our customers.”
“While we believe we have successfully integrated acquisitions to date, we cannot ensure that previously acquired or newly acquired companies, including ESG, will operate profitably”
“The successful integration of any previously acquired or newly acquired business also requires us to implement effective internal control processes in these acquired businesses.”
“The successful integration of any newly or previously acquired or merged business also requires us to implement effective internal control processes.”
“Consolidation within our customer base and suppliers may negatively impact our pricing and product margins.”
