What 8x8, Inc. told the SEC could break it.

8x8 has significant engineering and operations presence in Romania, which borders Ukraine, so an expansion of the Russia-Ukraine conflict into surrounding countries could disrupt those operations.

“our significant engineering and operations presence in Romania which borders Ukraine, could be negatively impacted if the conflict were to expand into the surrounding countries.”

8x8 sources telecom equipment internationally, so U.S. trade restrictions, tariffs and China-related trade tensions could raise costs and limit access to suppliers and markets.

“As we source telecom equipment internationally, trade tensions could have an adverse effect on our operations”

8x8 buys IP phones and hardware from third-party vendors, some sole-sourced; their inability to deliver acceptable-quality hardware on time could adversely affect operating results.

“The inability of these third-party vendors to deliver IP phones of acceptable quality and in a timely manner, particularly the sole source vendors, could adversely affect our operating results or cause them to fluctuate more than anticipated.”

8x8 depends on third-party network service providers to originate and terminate substantially all PSTN calls and to supply telephone numbers; disruption or cost increases from these carriers would hurt its business.

“We rely on third-party network service providers to originate and terminate substantially all of the public switched telephone network calls using our cloud-based services.”
