The company believes that the proposed public policy changes and the imposition of trade tariffs and restrictions between the US and China will continue to create an uncertain business environment. Ambarella’s results will be impacted by the additional tariffs or trade restrictions imposed on its products.
The global semiconductor market in general, and the video and image processing markets, in particular, are highly competitive. Ambarella expects competition to increase and intensify as more and larger semiconductor companies enter the markets and as existing competitors improve or expand their product offerings. The increased competition could result in price pressure, reduced profitability, and loss of market share for the company.
