• Geopolitical and tariff volatility (IEPA litigation, temporary global tariffs, Middle East shipping disruptions) is increasing complexity and short?term uncertainty in volumes, but also raises demand for Descartes’ compliance, recovery and optimization services.
• Capital allocation flexibility: strong cash conversion (>80% of adj. EBITDA), $356M cash, $350M undrawn credit and an NCIB — management is positioned to pursue opportunistic M&A as valuations reset.
