Our industry is characterized by rapid technological advancements and the introduction of new products and services based on fuel and energy conservation measures, which are offset by rising consumer demand for alternatives to oil natural gas and NGLs. As a result, we may face a risk of losing market share or being placed at a competitive disadvantage by competitors who develop new technologies or similar technologies at a significant cost. Our competitors may have inadequate financial resources to implement these technologies or provide us with technological advantages, which may have a detrimental impact on our business performance and results of operations.
