We account for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting. All assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. The determination of fair value involves estimates and the use of valuation techniques when market value is not readily available. We use various techniques to determine fair value in accordance with accepted valuation models, primarily the income approach. The significant assumptions used in developing fair values include, but are not limited to, revenue growth rates, the amount and timing of future cash flows, discount rates, useful lives, royalty rates and future tax rates. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired is recorded as goodwill. See Note 15 for discussion of recent acquisitions.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying Notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Disclosures of after-tax expenses and adjustments are based on estimates of the effective income tax rates for the applicable segments.
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU No. 2014-09 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The standard and subsequent amendments are intended to develop a common revenue standard for removing inconsistencies and weaknesses, improve comparability, provide for more useful information to users through improved disclosure requirements and simplify the preparation of financial statements. The standard is also referred to as Accounting Standards Codification No. 606 (“ASC 606”).
VITAS
Service revenue for VITAS is reported at the amount that reflects the ultimate consideration we expect to receive in exchange for providing patient care. These amounts are due from third-party payors, primarily commercial health insurers and government programs (Medicare and Medicaid), and include variable consideration for revenue adjustments due to settlements of audits and reviews, as well as certain hospice-specific revenue capitations. Amounts are generally billed monthly or subsequent to patient discharge. Subsequent changes in the transaction price initially recognized are not significant.
Hospice services are provided on a daily basis and the type of service provided is determined based on a physician’s determination of each patient’s specific needs on that given day. Reimbursement rates for hospice services are on a per diem basis regardless of the type of service provided or the payor. Reimbursement rates from government programs are established by the appropriate governmental agency and are standard across all hospice providers. Reimbursement rates from health insurers are negotiated with each payor and generally structured to closely mirror the Medicare reimbursement model. The types of hospice services provided and associated reimbursement model for each are as follows:
Routine Home Care occurs when a patient receives hospice care in their home, including a nursing home setting. The routine home care rate is paid for each day that a patient is in a hospice program and is not receiving one of the other categories of hospice care. For Medicare patients, the routine home care rate reflects a two-tiered rate, with a higher rate for the first
General Inpatient Care occurs when a patient requires services in a controlled setting for a short period of time for pain control or symptom management which cannot be managed in other settings. General inpatient care services must be provided in a Medicare or Medicaid certified hospital or long-term care facility or at a freestanding inpatient hospice facility with the required registered nurse staffing.
Continuous Home Care is provided to patients while at home, including a nursing home setting, during periods of crisis when intensive monitoring and care, primarily nursing care, is required in order to achieve palliation or management of acute medical symptoms. Continuous home care requires a minimum of
-9-
Respite Care permits a hospice patient to receive services on an inpatient basis for a short period of time in order to provide relief for the patient’s family or other caregivers from the demands of caring for the patient. A hospice can receive payment for respite care for a given patient for up to five consecutive days at a time, after which respite care is reimbursed at the routine home care rate.
Each level of care represents a separate promise under the contract of care and is provided independently for each patient contingent upon the patient’s specific medical needs as determined by a physician. However, the clinical criteria used to determine a patient’s level of care is consistent across all patients, given that, each patient is subject to the same payor rules and regulations. As a result, we have concluded that each level of care is capable of being distinct and is distinct in the context of the contract. Furthermore, we have determined that each level of care represents a stand ready service provided as a series of either days or hours of patient care. We believe that the performance obligations for each level of care meet criteria to be satisfied over time. VITAS recognizes revenue based on the service output. VITAS believes this to be the most faithful depiction of the transfer of control of services as the patient simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by our performance. Revenue is recognized on a daily or hourly basis for each patient in accordance with the reimbursement model for each type of service. VITAS’ performance obligations relate to contracts with an expected duration of less than one year. Therefore, VITAS has elected to apply the optional exception provided in ASC 606 and is not required to disclose the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period. The unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations referred to above relate to bereavement services provided to patients’ families for at least
Care is provided to patients regardless of their ability to pay. Patients who meet our criteria for charity care are provided care without charge. There is
Generally, patients who are covered by third-party payors are responsible for related deductibles and coinsurance which vary in amount. VITAS also provides service to patients without a reimbursement source and may offer those patients discounts from standard charges. VITAS estimates the transaction price for patients with deductibles and coinsurance, along with those uninsured patients, based on historical experience and current conditions. The estimate of any contractual adjustments, discounts or implicit price concessions reduces the amount of revenue initially recognized. Subsequent changes to the estimate of the transaction price are recorded as adjustments to patient service revenue in the period of change. Subsequent changes that are determined to be the result of an adverse change in the patients’ ability to pay (i.e. change in credit risk) are recorded as bad debt expense. VITAS has no material adjustments related to subsequent changes in the estimate of the transaction price or subsequent changes as the result of an adverse change in the patient’s ability to pay for any period reported.
Laws and regulations concerning government programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, are complex and subject to varying interpretation and change over time. Medicare and Medicaid programs have broad authority to audit and review compliance with such laws and regulations and impose payment suspensions or modifications when merited. Additionally, the contracts we have with commercial health insurance payors provide for retroactive audit and review of claims. Settlement with third party payors for retroactive adjustments due to audits, reviews or investigations are considered variable consideration and are included in the determination of the estimated transaction price for providing patient care. The variable consideration is estimated based on the terms of the payment agreement, existing correspondence from the payor and our historical settlement activity. These estimates are adjusted in future periods, as new information becomes available.
We are subject to certain limitations on Medicare payments for services which are considered variable consideration, as follows:
Inpatient Cap. If the number of inpatient care days any hospice program provides to Medicare beneficiaries exceeds
Medicare Cap. We are also subject to a Medicare annual per-beneficiary cap (“Medicare Cap”). Compliance with the Medicare Cap is measured in one of two ways based on a provider election. The “streamlined” method compares total Medicare payments received under a Medicare provider number with respect to services provided to all Medicare hospice care beneficiaries in the program or programs covered by that Medicare provider number with the product of the per-beneficiary cap amount and the number of Medicare beneficiaries electing hospice care for the first time from that hospice program or programs from September 28 through September 27 of the following year. At June 30, 2026, all our programs except three are using the “streamlined” method.
-10-
The “proportional” method compares the total Medicare payments received under a Medicare provider number with respect to services provided to all Medicare hospice care beneficiaries in the program or programs covered by the Medicare provider number between September 28 and September 27 of the following year with the product of the per beneficiary cap amount and a pro-rated number of Medicare beneficiaries receiving hospice services from that program during the same period. The pro-rated number of Medicare beneficiaries is calculated based on the ratio of days the beneficiary received hospice services during the measurement period to the total number of days the beneficiary received hospice services.
We actively monitor each of our hospice programs, by provider number, as to their specific admission, discharge rate and median length of stay data in an attempt to determine whether revenues are likely to exceed the annual per-beneficiary Medicare Cap. Should we determine that revenues for a program are likely to exceed the Medicare Cap based on projected trends, we attempt to institute corrective actions, which include changes to the patient mix and increased patient admissions. However, should we project our corrective action will not prevent that program from exceeding its Medicare Cap, we estimate revenue recognized during the government fiscal year that will require repayment to the Federal government under the Medicare Cap and record an adjustment to revenue of an amount equal to a ratable portion of our best estimate for the year.
For VITAS’ patients in the nursing home setting in which Medicaid pays the nursing home room and board, VITAS serves as a pass-through between Medicaid and the nursing home. We are responsible for paying the nursing home for that patient’s room and board. Medicaid reimburses us for

Roto-Rooter
Roto-Rooter provides plumbing, drain cleaning, excavation, water restoration and other related services to both residential and commercial customers primarily in the United States. Services are provided through a network of company-owned branches, independent contractors and franchisees. Service revenue for Roto-Rooter is reported at the amount that reflects the ultimate consideration we expect to receive in exchange for providing services.
Roto-Rooter owns and operates branches focusing mainly on large population centers in the United States. Roto-Rooter’s primary lines of business in company-owned branches consist of plumbing, sewer and drain cleaning, excavation and water restoration. For purposes of ASC 606 analysis, plumbing, sewer and drain cleaning, and excavation have been combined into one portfolio and are referred to as “short-term core services”. Water restoration is analyzed as a separate portfolio. The following describes the key characteristics of these portfolios:
Short-term Core Services are plumbing, drain and sewer cleaning and excavation services. These services are provided to both commercial and residential customers. The duration of services provided in this category range from a few hours to a few days. There are no significant warranty costs or on-going obligations to the customer once a service has been completed. For residential customers, payment is received at the time of job completion before the Roto-Rooter technician leaves the residence. Commercial customers may be granted credit subject to internally designated authority limits and credit check guidelines. If credit is granted, payment terms are generally
Each job in this category is a distinct service with a distinct performance obligation to the customer. Revenue is recognized at the completion of each job. Variable consideration consists of pre-invoice discounts and post-invoice discounts. Pre-invoice discounts are given in the form of coupons or price concessions. Post-invoice discounts consist of credit memos generally granted to resolve customer service issues. Variable consideration is estimated based on historical activity and recorded at the time service is completed.
Water Restoration Services involve the remediation of water and humidity after a flood. These services are provided to both commercial and residential customers. The duration of services provided in this category generally ranges from
-12-
paid by the customer’s insurance company. Variable consideration relates primarily to allowances taken by insurance companies upon payment. Variable consideration is estimated based on historical activity and recorded at the time service is completed.
For both short-term core services and water restoration services, Roto-Rooter satisfies its performance obligation at a point in time. The services provided generally involve fixing plumbing, drainage or flood-related issues at the customer’s property. At the time service is complete, the customer acknowledges its obligation to pay for service and its satisfaction with the service performed. This provides evidence that the customer has accepted the service and Roto-Rooter is now entitled to payment. As such, Roto-Rooter recognizes revenue for these services upon completion of the job and receipt of customer acknowledgement. Roto-Rooter’s performance obligations for short-term core services and water restoration services relate to contracts with an expected duration of less than a year. Therefore, Roto-Rooter has elected to apply the optional exception provided in ASC 606 and is not required to disclose the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period. Roto-Rooter does not have significant unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations at the time of initial revenue recognition for short-term core or water restoration services.
Roto-Rooter owns the rights to certain territories and contracts with independent third-parties to operate the territory under Roto-Rooter’s registered trademarks (“independent contractors”). Such contracts are for a specified term but cancellable by either party without penalty with
Independent contractors pay Roto-Rooter a standard fee calculated as a percentage of their cash collection from weekly sales. The primary value for the independent contractors under these arrangements is the right to use Roto-Rooter’s registered trademarks. Roto-Rooter recognizes revenue from independent contractors over-time (weekly) as the independent contractor’s labor sales are completed and payment from customers are received. Payment from independent contractors is also received on a weekly basis. The use of Roto-Rooter’s registered trademarks and advertising provides immediate value to the independent contractor as a result of Roto-Rooter’s nationally recognized brand. Therefore, over-time recognition provides the most faithful depiction of the transfer of services as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided. There is no significant variable consideration related to these arrangements.
Roto-Rooter has licensed the rights to operate under Roto-Rooter’s registered trademarks in other territories to franchisees. Each such contract is for a
Franchisees pay Roto-Rooter a standard monthly fee based on the population within the franchise territory. The standard fee is revised on a yearly basis based on changes in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers. The primary value for the franchisees under this arrangement is the right to use Roto-Rooter’s registered trademarks. Roto-Rooter recognizes revenue from franchisees over-time (monthly). Payment from franchisees is also received on a monthly basis. The use of Roto-Rooter’s registered trademarks and advertising provides immediate value to the franchisees as a result of Roto-Rooter’s nationally recognized brand. Therefore, over-time recognition provides the most faithful depiction of the transfer of services as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided. There is no significant variable consideration related to these arrangements.

3. Segments
Our segments include the VITAS segment and the Roto-Rooter segment, which comprise the structure used by our President and Chief Executive Officer, who has been determined to be our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to make key operating decisions and assess performance. Relative contributions of each segment to service revenues and sales for the second quarter of 2026 were
The reportable segments have been defined along service lines, which is consistent with the way the businesses are managed. In determining reportable segments, the RRSC and RRC operating units of the Roto-Rooter segment have been aggregated on the basis of possessing similar operating and economic characteristics. The characteristics of these operating segments and the basis for aggregation are reviewed annually.
We report corporate administrative expenses and unallocated investing and financing income and expense not directly related to either segment as “Corporate”. Corporate administrative expense includes the stewardship, accounting and reporting, legal, tax and other costs of operating a publicly held corporation. Corporate investing and financing income and expenses include the costs and income associated with corporate debt and investment arrangements.
Our CODM evaluates the segments’ operating performance based mainly on income/(loss) from operations. For each segment, the CODM compares segment income/(loss) from operations in the annual budgeting and monthly forecasting process to actual results.
-14-
The CODM considers variances on a monthly basis for evaluating performance of each segment and making decisions about allocating resources to each segment.

With respect to the one claim that the judge did not fully side with VITAS, the judge found that four of the five days billed met the applicable standard and only one day did not.
In a letter dated March 18, 2025, VITAS’ MAC provided notice that due to the ALJ’s ruling the total overpayment amount was reduced to a de minimis amount, and on April 1, 2025 refunded VITAS all previously unreturned deposited amounts in excess of that dollar figure.
As a result of the previously disclosed cybersecurity incident and data breach on October 24, 2025, multiple class action lawsuits were filed against VITAS alleging various causes of action and seeking damages resulting from the breach. All outstanding cases have been consolidated and the Company has reached an agreement to settle them for a non-material amount fully covered by VITAS’ cybersecurity insurance.
Regardless of the outcome of the preceding matters, dealing with the various regulatory agencies and opposing parties can adversely affect us through defense costs, potential payments, withholding of governmental funding, diversion of management time, and related publicity.

FASB’s authoritative guidance on fair value measurements defines a hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs in fair value measurements. Level 1 measurements are measurements using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 measurements use significant other observable inputs. Level 3 measurements are measurements using significant unobservable inputs which require a company to develop its own assumptions. In recording the fair value of assets and liabilities, companies must use the most reliable measurement available.

16. Recent Accounting Standards
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU 2024-03 – Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”. The guidance provides enhanced disclosures about commonly presented expense categories such as cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development. The objective is to provide investors with a better understanding of the entity’s performance, assess potential future cash flows and comparability with other entities. The guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently analyzing the impact of the ASU on the current footnote disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU 2025-06 – Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal – Use Software”. The guidance seeks to modernize the accounting guidance for the costs to develop software for internal use. The guidance amends the existing standard to better align with current software development methods. Entities will start capitalizing eligible costs when management has authorized and committed to funding software projects and when it is probable that the projects will be completed and used as intended. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is currently analyzing the impact of the ASU on the consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Executive Summary
We operate through our two wholly-owned subsidiaries, VITAS Healthcare Corporation and Roto-Rooter Group, Inc. VITAS focuses on hospice care that helps make terminally ill patients’ final days as comfortable as possible. Through its teams of doctors, nurses, home health aides, social workers, clergy and volunteers, VITAS provides direct medical services to patients, as well as spiritual and emotional counseling to both patients and their families. Roto-Rooter’s services are focused on providing plumbing, drain cleaning, excavation, water restoration, and other related services to both residential and commercial customers. Through its network of company-owned branches, independent contractors and franchisees, Roto-Rooter offers plumbing and drain cleaning service to over 90% of the U.S. population.
The vast majority of the Company’s operations are located in the United States. As both operations are service companies, our employees are the most critical resource of the Company. We have very little exposure related to customers, vendors, or employees in other regions of the world. We continue to monitor macroeconomic trends and uncertainties such as inflation, the effects of recently implemented tariffs, and the potential imposition of modified or additional tariffs, as well as the impact of the war with Iran on fuel prices, which may have adverse effects on net sales and profitability. Based on preliminary analysis of the potential effects of the announced tariffs and these other factors, we do not expect a material negative effect on our net sales or profitability for the remainder of fiscal year 2026. However, we are continuing to evaluate these factors and their potential effects as well as our ability to potentially offset all or a portion of cost increases through pricing actions and cost savings efforts for fiscal year 2027 planning. Economic pressures including the challenges of high inflation and the effects of increased tariffs and the impact of the war with Iran may negatively affect our net sales and profitability in the future.

A reconciliation of our non-GAAP measures is presented on pages 37-39.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the increase in consolidated service revenues and sales was driven by an 11.9 % increase at VITAS and a 3.3% increase at Roto-Rooter. The increase in service revenues at VITAS is comprised primarily of 6.1% increase in days-of-care and a geographically weighted average Medicare reimbursement rate increase of approximately 2.4%. Acuity mix shift negatively impacted revenue growth by 115-basis points in the quarter when compared to the prior year quarter’s revenue and level-of-care mix. The combination of Medicare Cap and other contra revenue changes increased revenue growth by 455-basis points. The increase in service revenues at Roto-Rooter was driven by an increase in plumbing, drain cleaning and excavation offset by a decrease in water restoration.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the increase in consolidated service revenues and sales was driven by a 7.4% increase at VITAS and by a 1.1% increase at Roto-Rooter. The increase in service revenues at VITAS is comprised primarily of 4.2% increase in days-of-care and a geographically weighted average Medicare reimbursement rate increase of approximately 2.5%. Acuity mix shift negatively impacted revenue growth by 120-basis points in the year when compared to the prior year’s revenue and level-of-care mix. The combination of Medicare Cap and other contra revenue changes increased revenue growth by 190-basis points. The increase in service revenues at Roto-Rooter was driven by an increase in plumbing, drain cleaning and excavation offset by a decrease in water restoration.

Financial Condition
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Material changes in the balance sheet accounts from December 31, 2025 to June 30, 2026 include the following:
A $6.1 million increase in accounts receivable due to the timing of payments. Other significant changes in our accounts receivable balances are typically driven by the timing of payments received from the Federal government at our VITAS subsidiary. We typically receive a payment in excess of $63.0 million from the Federal government for hospice services every other Friday. The timing of a period end will have a significant impact on the accounts receivable at VITAS. These changes generally normalize over a two-year period, as cash flow variations in one year are offset in the following year.
A $10.3 million increase in prepaid expenses due to prepaid insurance premiums paid in the second quarter.
A $11.4 million increase in lease right of use asset due to lease renewals. This resulted in a similar increase in the lease liability accounts.
A $32.4 million increase in goodwill due to four acquisitions at Roto-Rooter.
A $20.3 million increase in accounts payable due to timing of payments.
A $10.8 million increase in the liability of deferred compensation plans due mainly to market valuation gains. This resulted in a similar increase in the assets associated with deferred compensation plans.
A $140.0 million increase in long-term debt due primarily to acquisitions and stock repurchases.
A $291.9 million increase in treasury stock due to stock repurchases.
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $1.7 million from June 30, 2025 to June 30, 2026. See the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows on page 5 for the detail components making up the change.
Management continually evaluates cash utilization alternatives, including share repurchase, debt repurchase, acquisitions and increased dividends to determine the most beneficial use of available capital resources.
We anticipate that our operating income and cash flows will be sufficient to operate our business and meet any commitments for the foreseeable future.
Commitments and Contingencies
On April 10, 2026, we replaced the Prior Credit Agreement with a sixth amended and restated Credit Agreement. Terms of the Credit Agreement consist of a five-year $450.0 million revolving credit facility including $100.0 million for letters of credit. This Credit Agreement has a floating interest rate that is generally the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus an additional tiered rate which varies based on our current leverage ratio. As of June 30, 2026, the interest rate is SOFR plus 100 basis points. The Credit Agreement includes an expansion feature that provides the Company the opportunity to increase its revolver by an additional $250.0 million.
We have issued $47.3 million in standby letters of credit as of June 30, 2026, mainly for insurance purposes. Issued letters of credit reduce our available credit under the Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2026, we have approximately $262.7 million of unused lines of credit available and are eligible to be drawn down under the Credit Agreement. Management believes its liquidity and sources of capital are satisfactory for the Company’s needs in the foreseeable future.
Collectively, the terms of the Credit Agreement require us to meet various financial covenants, to be tested quarterly. We are in compliance with all financial and other debt covenants as of June 30, 2026.
We are subject to various lawsuits and claims in the normal course of our business. In addition, we periodically receive communications from governmental and regulatory agencies concerning compliance with Medicare and Medicaid billing requirements at our VITAS subsidiary. We establish reserves for specific, uninsured liabilities in connection with regulatory and legal action that we deem to be probable and estimable. We disclose the existence of regulatory and legal actions when we believe it is reasonably possible that a loss could occur in connection with the specific action. In most instances, we are unable to make a reasonable estimate of any reasonably possible liability due to the uncertainty of the outcome and stage of litigation. We record legal fees associated with legal and regulatory actions as the costs are incurred.
See Note 10 in the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 above for a description of current material legal matters.

Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 Regarding Forward-Looking Information
Certain statements contained in this report are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “believe”, “expect”, “hope”, “anticipate”, “plan” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions and involve various known and unknown risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other factors, which could cause Chemed’s actual results to differ from those expressed in such forward-looking statements. Variances in any or all of the risks, uncertainties, contingencies, and other factors from our assumptions could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements and trends. In addition, our ability to deal with the unknown outcomes of these events, many of which are beyond our control, may affect the reliability of projections and other financial matters. Investors are cautioned that such forward-looking statements are subject to inherent risk and there are no assurances that the matters contained in such statements will be achieved. Chemed does not undertake and specifically disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Company’s primary market risk exposure relates to interest rate risk exposure through its variable interest line of credit. At June 30, 2026, the Company has $140.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding. For each $10 million borrowed under the credit facility, an increase or decrease of 100 basis points (1%), increases or decreases the Company’s annual interest expense by $100,000.
The Company continually evaluates this interest rate exposure and periodically weighs the cost versus the benefit of fixing the variable interest rates through a variety of hedging techniques.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and with the participation of the Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Controller, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Controller have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
For information regarding the Company’s legal proceedings, see Note 10, Legal and Regulatory Matters, under Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
