[10-Q] CSP INC /MA/ Quarterly Earnings Report
CSP Inc. reported softer results for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. Sales fell to $12.0 million from $15.7 million, mainly because prior-year Technology Solutions product orders in the U.S. did not repeat. Net income dropped to $0.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, from $0.05.
Despite lower revenue, gross margin improved to 39% from 29%, helped by a richer mix of higher-margin services and High Performance Products. Operating cash flow swung to an outflow of $2.9 million, but the company still held $24.9 million in cash and had $13.6 million of unused credit line capacity. CSP Inc. also declared a quarterly dividend of $0.03 per share.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- None.
Insights
Revenue and earnings fell sharply, partly offset by stronger margins and solid liquidity.
CSP Inc. saw quarterly sales decline from
At the same time, gross margin widened from
Management highlighted growing customer financing receivables and matching multi‑year vendor financing, which increase balance sheet leverage but also generate interest income. Investors may focus on whether TS product demand normalizes and whether the improved margin profile can be sustained in coming quarters as disclosed in future filings.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. All adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, have been omitted.
Accordingly, the Company believes that although the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. The significant accounting policies and estimates used in preparing these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were applied on a basis consistent with those reflected in the September 30, 2025 Consolidated Financial Statements.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no significant changes to the Company's significant accounting policies described in PART II, Item 8, Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies", of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025.
Accounting Pronouncement Not Yet Adopted as of December 31, 2025
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides new optional guidance relating to the estimation of expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets under Topic 326. This ASU permits entities to apply a practical expedient when estimating credit losses and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted, and should be applied prospectively. We are currently evaluating the adoption of this standard and its impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income— Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires expanded disclosures in the notes to the financial statements about certain costs and expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on its disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU expands existing income tax disclosures primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The ASU is effective for all public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Entities should apply the amendments on a

3. Earnings Per Share of Common Stock
We are required to present earnings per share ("EPS") utilizing the two-class method because we had outstanding, non-vested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, which are considered participating securities.
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share includes the dilutive effect of restricted stock awards (RSA’s), if any, calculated using the treasury stock method. Using the treasury stock method, the effect of dilutive securities includes the additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding based on the assumption that these potentially dilutive securities had been issued. The treasury stock method assumes proceeds from the unamortized compensation expense of restricted stock awards are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period, thus reducing the dilutive effect. RSA’s with assumed proceeds per unit above the Company’s average share price for the periods presented are excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because the effect is anti-dilutive.
Basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the Company’s reported net income attributable to common stockholders are as follows:

4. Accounts receivable, net
The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts receivable in an amount equal to the current expected credit losses. The estimation of the allowance is based on an analysis of historical loss experience, management’s assessment of current conditions and reasonable and supportable expectation of future conditions as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible including reviewing the current receivables aging. This results in a general reserve and a specific reserve. The Company assesses collectability by pooling receivables where similar characteristics exist and evaluates receivables individually when specific customer balances no longer share those risk characteristics and are considered at risk or uncollectible. The expense associated with the allowance for expected credit losses is recognized in Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The following table presents the components of the Company’s accounts receivable for the periods indicated.

5. Financing receivables, net
In the TS U.S. division, financing of goods and services is offered to certain customers. This involves amounts due reflecting sales whose payment terms exceed one year. This financing is separate from agreements with a leasing component, see Note 7 Leases for financing through leases. Determining whether to offer financing involves looking at the customer’s payment history, economic conditions, and capacity to pay. These financing arrangements do not contain collateral.
The Company assigns an internal risk rating to each customer at inception, which groups customers into a portfolio based off this risk rating. A risk rating is assigned by analyzing a customer’s financial statements and the latest Fitch rating if publicly available as well as recent payment activity. The credit quality of customers is continually monitored by these items. Accounts rated low risk have the equivalent of a Fitch rating of BBB– or higher, moderate risk accounts have the equivalent of BB, and high risk accounts have the equivalent of B.
The risk characteristics of each customer are consistent with the Fitch rating or equivalent, which are defined by Fitch as the following:
'BBB' ratings indicate that expectations of default risk are currently low. The capacity for payment of financial commitments is considered adequate, but adverse business or economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity.
’BB' ratings indicate an elevated vulnerability to default risk, particularly in the event of adverse changes in business or economic conditions over time; however, business or financial flexibility exists that supports the servicing of financial commitments.
‘B’ ratings indicate that material default risk is present, but a limited margin of safety remains. Financial commitments are currently being met; however, capacity for continued payment is vulnerable to deterioration in the business and economic environment.

The Company recognizes an allowance for credit losses for financing receivables in an amount equal to the probable losses net of recoveries. A probability method for calculating credit losses is used based on historical data of defaults of Fitch ratings and length of time. Various factors are also assessed in the allowance for credit losses including internal historical data as well as macroeconomic forecast assumptions and management judgments applicable to and through the expected life of the portfolios. Macroeconomic conditions include the level of gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth and unemployment rates, which directly correlate with our historical credit losses. The expense associated with the allowance for expected credit losses is recognized in Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

8. Accounts payable and accrued expenses, and Other noncurrent liabilities
The TS US division enters into certain multi-year agreements with vendors when also entering into some of the multi-year financing contracts the Company enters into with customers. See Note 5 Financing receivables, net for further information related to the multi-year agreements with customers.
There was not an interest rate stated in the agreements and therefore interest was imputed under ASC 835 Interest as the payments in the exchange represented two elements: principal and interest. The average imputed interest rate for the agreements was determined to be
Interest expense related to these agreements for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $
The amounts owed for these agreements are in Accounts payable and Other noncurrent liabilities because they are owed to vendors rather than banks or financial institutions for borrowings. See Note 9 Line of Credit for amounts due to financial institutions for borrowings.

10. Pension and Retirement Plans
The Company’s operations have defined benefit and defined contribution plans in the U.K. and in the U.S. In the U.K., the Company provides defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution plans for some of its employees. In the U.S., the Company provides benefits through supplemental retirement plans to certain former employees. The U.S. supplemental retirement plans have life insurance policies which are not plan assets but were purchased by the Company as a vehicle to fund the costs of the plan. The Company also provides for officer death benefits through post-retirement plans to certain current officers of the Company in the U.S. All the Company’s defined benefit plans are closed to newly hired employees and have been since September 2009.
The Company funds its pension plans in amounts sufficient to meet the requirements set forth in applicable employee benefits laws and local tax laws. Liabilities for amounts in excess of these funding levels are accrued and reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company’s pension plan in the U.K. is the only pension plan with plan assets. In fiscal year 2024 the company paid

The buy-in contract is treated as a plan asset. When the buy-in contract transitions to a buy-out contract the Company will no longer have legal responsibility to pay the benefits to the members. This transition is a significant event and the pension assets and liabilities will be remeasured at this time.

11. Income Taxes
Income tax expense of $
On July 4, 2025, President Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) into law. Key corporate tax provisions include the restoration of 100% bonus depreciation, immediate expensing for domestic research and experimental expenditures, changes to Section 163(j) interest limitations, and expanded Section 162(m) aggregation requirements. In accordance with ASC 740, the effects of the new tax law will be recognized in the period of enactment. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others to be implemented through

2027. We have evaluated the impact of the OBBBA and determined that it did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2025. We will continue to assess the implications of the OBBBA as further guidance becomes available but do not expect the legislation to have a material impact on the effective tax rate in future periods.

13. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
Under the fair value standards fair value is based on the exit price and defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement should reflect all the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. A fair value hierarchy is established in the authoritative guidance outlined in three levels ranking from Level 1 to Level 3 with Level 1 being the highest priority.
Level 1: observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly
Level 3: unobservable inputs (e.g., a reporting entity’s or other entity’s own data)
The Company had

Table of Contents
To estimate the fair value of the financial instruments below, quoted market prices are used when available and classified within Level 1. If this data is not available, we use observable market-based inputs to estimate fair value, which are classified within Level 2. If the preceding information is unavailable, we use internally generated data to estimate fair value which is classified within Level 3.

Line of credit
The fair value of our line of credit is based on borrowing rates currently available to a market participant for loans with similar terms or maturity. The carrying amount of our outstanding revolving line of credit approximates fair value because the base interest rate charged varies with market conditions and the credit spread is commensurate with current market spreads for issuers of similar risk.

Operating income (loss) from operations consists of sales less Cost of sales, Research and development expenses, and Selling, general and administrative expenses but is not affected by either other income/expense or by income taxes expense (benefit). Non-operating expenses/income consists principally of interest income from transactions with payment terms exceeding one year (see Note 5, Financing receivables, net for details), interest income from cash and cash equivalents, and interest expense. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
The discussion below contains certain forward-looking statements including, but not limited to, among others, statements concerning future revenues and future business plans. Forward-looking statements include statements in which we use words such as “expect”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “project”, “estimate”, “should”, “could”, “may”, “plan”, “potential”, “predict”, “will”, “would” and similar expressions. Although we believe the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, the forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, and thus we cannot assure you that these expectations will prove to have been correct, and actual results may vary from those contained in such forward-looking statements. We discuss many of these risks and uncertainties in Item 1A under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. Factors that may cause such variances include, but are not limited to, our dependence on a small number of customers for a significant portion of our revenue, intense competition in the market segments in which we operate, changes in the U.S. Tax laws, the impact of the Ukrainian-Russian military and Israeli-Hamas conflict on global trade and financial markets, the impact of tariffs or trade policies, and the impact of pandemics on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Also, forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this document. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this report, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this filing and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable and financing receivables, inventory valuation, impairment assessment of intangibles, income taxes, deferred compensation and retirement plans, as well as estimated selling prices used for revenue recognition and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical performance and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A description of our critical accounting policies is contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 in the “Critical Accounting Policies” section contained in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Management believes there have been no significant changes for the three months ended December 31, 2025 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting estimates in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025.
Recent trends affecting our financial performance
As of December 31, 2025, the Russian/Ukrainian military conflict and the Israeli-Hamas conflict have not had a direct significant impact on revenue as we do not have any significant recurring customers in either region. However, we do have customers and suppliers in surrounding regions which may be affected and further escalation of both conflicts and geopolitical tensions related to such conflicts could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, by among other things, cyberattacks, supply disruptions, lower consumer demand, and changes to foreign exchange rates and financial markets. It is not possible at this time to predict the size of the impact or consequences of the conflicts on the Company and our customers or suppliers.

TS segment total sales decreased $4.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 when compared to the same prior year period. Product sales decreased $4.4 million primarily due to the U.S. division because several large orders did not reoccur in the current year. Service sales for the three months ended December 31, 2025 increased $0.4 million from the same prior year period, which is attributable to the U.S. division. The increase in service sales was due to increased third party maintenance sales of $0.3 million and increased managed services of $0.3 million, partially offset by decreased internal services and third-party services of $0.2 million.

The $4.0 million decrease in sales to the Americas was primarily the result of a decrease in the TS segment’s U.S. division of $3.9 million and U.K. division of $0.1 million. The $0.1 million decrease in sales to Europe was primarily the result of decreased sales by our TS segment’s U.K. division. The sales to APAC and Africa increased $0.4 million due to increased sales in the HPP segment.
Gross Margins
Our gross margin ("GM") increased $0.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the same prior year period. The GM as a percentage of sales increased to 39% for the three months ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the same prior year period of 29%.

The overall TS segment GM as a percentage of sales increased to 37% for the three month period ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same prior year period of 29%. Product GM as a percentage of product sales increased to 19% for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the 17% in the prior year period. This was primarily due to several large sales in the prior year period with a lower margin, which did not reoccur in the current year period. Service GM as a percentage of service sales increased to 62% for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same prior year period of 58% due to increased third party maintenance sales in which the sale is recorded “net” meaning gross profit is recorded in the services sales financial statement line item. This “net” recording increases GM as a percentage of service sales. In addition, managed services revenue increased while the cost of sales did not increase in proportion which caused an increase in GM as a percentage of service sales.

The overall HPP segment GM as a percentage of sales increased to 73% for the three months ended December 31, 2025 from 50% for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The 22% increase in product GM as a percentage of product sales for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same prior year period is primarily due to recognition of Multicomputer software license sales and Myricom hardware sales, both which have a high GM. The hardware was nearly all profit as the Company had an an impairment expense on the inventory in a prior year period meaning there was not an expense in the current year as a result of the sale. The 20% increase in service GM as a percentage of services revenue from the prior year was due to increased Multicomputer repairs, which are relatively high margin compared to other services revenue.
Research and Development Expenses
The research and development expenses incurred by our HPP segment increased $0.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 to $0.9 million when compared to the prior year period due to increased labor expenses. The current period expenses were primarily for research expenses incurred in connection with the continued development of the ARIA Zero Trust Gateway cyber security products.

SG&A expenses of $4.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 decreased approximately $0.1 million compared to the same prior year period. The TS segment G&A expenses decreased by $0.1 million primarily due to decreased stock compensation expense when compared to the prior year period. The HPP segment SG&A expenses decreased $0.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the prior year period primarily due to decreased stock compensation expense and decreased recruiting expense.

The $0.2 million decrease in Total other income, net for the three months ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the same prior year period is primarily due to the current year period having a slight Foreign exchange loss compared to a Foreign exchange gain in the prior year period, partially offset by increased interest income.
In consolidation, U.S. dollars and Euros are remeasured into the functional currency, British Pounds, of our U.K. subsidiary. This non-cash remeasurement is included in Foreign exchange (loss) gain on the income statement and the foreign exchange amount is primarily from the U.S. Dollar bank account. The U.S. dollar slightly weakened relative to the British Pound for the three months ended December 31, 2025 causing a slight foreign exchange loss compared to the same prior year period where the U.S. dollar strengthened causing a foreign exchange gain.
The Interest income increase of $112 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the prior year period is primarily due to higher interest income from financing sales in our TS U.S. division of $201 thousand. Since the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 there has been an increase in customers requesting financing primarily for hardware, software, and third party-maintenance, which has resulted in increased interest income. This increase in interest income was partially offset with a decrease of $89 thousand of interest income primarily from our Cash and cash equivalents from a decreased average cash balance when compared to the prior year combined with a decrease in interest rates.
The Interest expense increase of $51 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the prior year period is related to increased multi-year agreements in the TS US division with vendors when also entering into some of the multi-year financing contracts the Company enters into with customers. Some vendors do not offer financing

on purchases. If the vendor does offer financing, the Company determines if it will enter into an agreement based on various factors including interest rate offered. See Note 8 Accounts payable and accrued expenses, and Other noncurrent liabilities in Item 1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for details.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense of $280 thousand was recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to an income tax benefit of $115 thousand in the same period of 2024. For the three months ended December 31, 2025, the difference between our effective income tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate are the impact of tax credits that we expect to be able to utilize against federal and state taxes, the change in valuation allowance maintained against certain state tax credits, and non-deductible executive compensation. For the three months ended December 31, 2024, the difference between our effective income tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate are the impact of tax credits that we expect to be able to utilize against federal and state taxes and the change in valuation allowance maintained against certain state tax credits.
On July 4, 2025, President Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) into law. Key corporate tax provisions include the restoration of 100% bonus depreciation, immediate expensing for domestic research and experimental expenditures, changes to Section 163(j) interest limitations, and expanded Section 162(m) aggregation requirements. In accordance with ASC 740, the effects of the new tax law will be recognized in the period of enactment. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others to be implemented through 2027. We have evaluated the impact of the OBBBA and determined that it did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2025. We will continue to assess the implications of the OBBBA as further guidance becomes available but do not expect the legislation to have a material impact on the effective tax rate in future periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary source of liquidity is our cash and cash equivalents and our line of credit.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $2.5 million to $24.9 million as of December 31, 2025 from $27.4 million as of September 30, 2025.
The following is a summary of our cash flows for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

Operating Activities
Cash used in operating activities decreased $4.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same prior year period. The changes from the prior year are primarily related to decreased Accounts payable and accrued expenses of $3.6 million, decreased Financing receivables of $2.4 million, increased inventories of $1.3 million, an increase in pension liabilities of $0.7 million. The remaining differences are primarily related to timing differences in operating assets and liabilities.

Table of Contents
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $105 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to $47 thousand used in investing activities for the prior year. The increase in cash used from the prior year is related purchases of property, equipment, and improvements.
Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities was $0.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to $1.6 million used in financing activities for the prior year period. The primary difference was the timing in the net borrowing on the line-of-credit.
Other Liquidity and Capital Resources Items
After foreign currency remeasurement and translation, our cash held by our foreign subsidiary in the United Kingdom totaled approximately $5.0 million as of December 31, 2025, which consisted of 0.4 million British Pounds, 0.7 million Euros, and 3.7 million U.S. Dollars. This cash is included in our total Cash and cash equivalents reported within our financial statements. Due to the pension obligation in the U.K., we maintain a large balance of cash in the U.K. However, we have entered a buy-in agreement for the U.K. pension.
As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, the Company maintained a line of credit with a capacity of up to $15.0 million for inventory accessible to both the HPP and TS segments. This line of credit also includes the availability of a limited cash withdrawal of up to $1.0 million. Amounts of $13.6 million and $14.1 million were available as of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025 there were no cash withdrawals outstanding. For further discussion of the Company’s line of credit, including its financial covenants, see Item 1, Note 9 Line of Credit.
We have multi-year agreements in which we sell certain customers goods and services with financing. This is on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Financing receivables, net of allowances and Financing receivables due after one year, net of allowances. In the year from December 31, 2025 we are scheduled to receive $8.8 million related to the financing receivables.
We also have multi-year agreements with vendors related to some of the financing agreements we have for customers, which are on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Accounts payable and accrued expenses and Other noncurrent liabilities payables (long-term portion in other noncurrent liabilities). In the year from December 31, 2025 we are scheduled to pay $4.7 million related to the vendor financing agreements.
If cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy working capital requirements, we may need to access funds through bank loans or other means. If we are unable to secure additional financing, we may not be able to complete development or enhancement of products, take advantage of future opportunities, respond to competition, retain key employees, or continue to effectively operate our business.
Based on our current plans and business conditions, management believes that the Company’s available cash and cash equivalents, the cash generated from operations, and availability on our line of credit will be sufficient to provide for the Company’s working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least 12 months from the date of this filing.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2025. Our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer and other members of our senior management team supervised and participated in this evaluation. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined
29
Table of Contents
in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2025, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended December 31, 2025, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
