Purple Innovation (NASDAQ: PRPL) Q1 2026 loss deepens amid going concern warning
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Purple Innovation, Inc. reported weaker results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and raised substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Revenue fell to $95.7 million from $104.2 million a year earlier, and the company posted a net loss of $30.6 million, or $0.28 per share. Balance sheet pressure intensified, with an accumulated deficit of $655.8 million, negative stockholders’ equity of $60.1 million, and related party debt of $132.5 million (carrying value $119.2 million). Interest expense rose significantly and a $7.0 million non‑cash loss from warrant remeasurement increased total other expense. Despite these headwinds, operating cash flow turned positive at $3.0 million, and management highlighted restructuring, cost‑saving measures, expanded distribution agreements, and a debt maturity extension to April 30, 2027 as key elements of its liquidity plan.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Going concern uncertainty: Management concluded that recurring losses, negative equity, heavy related party debt and limited capital access raise substantial doubt about Purple Innovation’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the financial statement issuance date.
Insights
Heavy losses, negative equity and high-cost related party debt drive going-concern risk despite near-term liquidity actions.
Purple Innovation generated $95.7 million in quarterly revenue but recorded a net loss of $30.6 million, deepening its accumulated deficit to $655.8 million. Stockholders’ equity was negative $60.1 million, signaling a highly leveraged capital structure.
Debt is concentrated in a related party term loan with a carrying amount of $119.2 million and principal of $132.5 million, bearing an effective rate above 14% with paid‑in‑kind interest. A $7.0 million loss from warrant fair value changes further burdened results, and warrant liabilities reached $23.1 million.
Management disclosed “substantial doubt” about continuing as a going concern within one year of issuance, even after extending loan maturity to April 30, 2027 and implementing restructuring and cost initiatives. Operating cash flow turned positive at $3.0 million, but future performance and any refinancing or strategic transactions will be important to the company’s longer‑term solvency.

1. Organization
The mission of Purple Innovation, Inc. (the “Company” or “Purple Inc.”) is to deliver the greatest sleep ever invented.
The Company, collectively with its subsidiary Purple Innovation, LLC (“Purple LLC”) is an omni-channel business that began as a digitally-native vertical brand founded on comfort product innovation with premium offerings, and have since expanded into brick & mortar stores as a true omni-channel brand. The Company offers a variety of innovative, branded and premium comfort products, including mattresses, pillows, cushions, bases, sheets and other products. The Company markets and sells its products through its direct-to-consumer e-commerce channels, retail brick-and-mortar wholesale partners, Purple showrooms, and third-party online retailers.
The Company was incorporated
in Delaware on
As the sole managing member of Purple LLC, Purple Inc. through its officers and directors is responsible for all operational and administrative decision making and control of the day-to-day business affairs of Purple LLC without the approval of any other member.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of Purple Inc., its controlled subsidiary Purple LLC, and Purple LLC’s wholly owned subsidiary
Advanced Comfort Technologies, Inc., dba Intellibed (“Intellibed”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation. As of March 31, 2026, Purple Inc. held
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting and reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (all of which were considered of normal recurring nature) considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial results. The results of the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 or for any other interim period or other future year.
Liquidity and Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. In connection with the preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company conducted an evaluation as to whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, which raised substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date of the issuance of such financial statements.

The Company had cash and
cash equivalents of approximately $
The funds the Company has on hand and any follow-on capital, if needed, will be used to fund its operations and invest in the business to expand sales and marketing efforts, as well as to invest in innovation. As described below, management has implemented plans to both increase its revenues from the sales of its products and to achieve cost savings within the next year, sufficient to generate positive operating cash flow levels. However, the Company may be adversely impacted by uncertain market conditions and there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in this regard. If such plans are not successful, the Company may need to raise additional capital in order to support operations and business initiatives. Access to additional capital is uncertain and not within the control of the Company. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company has taken a number of actions to increase cash flow and support its operations and strategies. In August 2024, the Company implemented the Restructuring Plan (as defined below) to consolidate manufacturing operations resulting in cost savings. The Company has realized and plans to continue to realize direct material cost savings by concentrating efforts on driving gross margin improvement through various methods such as selective pricing actions, continued mix shift towards the Restore and Rejuvenate collections, and by driving cost savings through supply chain initiatives and manufacturing efficiency. The Company has delivered direct material cost savings from its supplier diversification efforts, improved scrap and yield results from continuous improvements, and outbound freight costs reflect cost improvements along with improved delivery reliability. The Company has been successful in subleasing the two manufacturing facilities that were vacated as part of the Restructuring Plan. The Company has also taken additional cost-saving initiatives in 2025 and the beginning of 2026 to reduce headcount and streamline responsibilities and reporting structure. Further, management’s plans include additional actions intended to improve liquidity and reduce costs, including a planned optimization of advertising spend, limiting the number of new store openings, efforts to mitigate tariff impacts by managing the country of origin, and other cost-saving initiatives. As disclosed in Note 10 - Debt, the Company has elected to have interest paid-in-kind and added to the principal amount of the loans under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and on March 24, 2026, the Company executed the Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) with the Lenders to extend the maturity date of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement from December 31, 2026 to April 30, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating potential strategic alternatives and opportunities to achieve additional liquidity through one or more future debt refinancings.
Additionally, in May 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with Mattress Firm, Inc. (“Mattress Firm”), a business unit of Somnigroup International, Inc. (“SGI”) to expand its inventory of the Company’s products across SGI’s national store network from approximately 5,000 mattress slots to a minimum of 12,000 mattress slots (see Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies, SGI Commercial Arrangements). The Company is now represented in Mattress Firm’s full store network and with the recent launch of Purple Royale, the exclusive Luxe product for Mattress Firm, the Company has expanded to all 12,000 committed slots. The Company has also expanded into more Costco clubs in the fourth quarter of 2025.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Revenue Recognition – Consideration Payable to Customers
There have been no material changes to the Company’s revenue recognition policies as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, except for the following application of accounting guidance to certain arrangements with third-party manufacturers.
The Company enters into arrangements with third-party manufacturers, including manufacturers under common control with certain customers, to produce mattress products sold to those customers. The Company evaluates these arrangements to determine whether payments to such manufacturers represent consideration payable to a customer or payments for goods or services received, in accordance with ASC 606—Revenue from Contracts with Customers. For certain customer-specific or exclusive product arrangements, the Company has concluded that payments to a manufacturer under common control with a customer are economically linked to the underlying customer arrangement and represent consideration payable to that customer. Accordingly, revenue for these arrangements is presented net of payments made to the third-party manufacturers.

Variable Interest Entities
Purple LLC is a variable interest
entity. The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of Purple LLC as it is the sole managing member and has the power to
direct the activities most significant to Purple LLC’s economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses and receive
benefits that are potentially significant. At March 31, 2026, Purple Inc. had a
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to establish accounting policies and to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclose contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. The Company regularly makes estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, estimates that affect revenue recognition, accounts receivable and the allowance for credit losses, valuation of inventories, sales returns, warranty returns, impairment reviews of long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets, warrant liabilities, stock based compensation, the recognition and measurement of loss contingencies, the recognition and measurement of restructuring and related charges, estimates of current and deferred income taxes, deferred income tax valuation allowances, and amounts associated with the Company’s tax receivable agreement with InnoHold, LLC (“InnoHold”). Predicting future events is inherently an imprecise activity and, as such, requires the use of judgment. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Segment Information
The Company operates in one operating segment. This is consistent with the organizational structure and internal reporting evaluated regularly by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer who is our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) when making operational decisions and allocating resources. For additional information regarding the Company’s segment reporting, refer to Note 20 – Segment Information and Concentrations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Expense Disaggregation Disclosures
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosure of certain costs and expenses on an interim and annual basis in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The prescribed cost and expense categories requiring disaggregated disclosures include purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization, along with certain other expense disclosures already required by GAAP that would need to be integrated within the new tabular disaggregated expense disclosures. Additionally, the amendments also require the disclosure of total selling expenses and an entity’s definition of those expenses. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance is to be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date or (2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact this update will have on its expense disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for Internal-Use Software
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, “Intangible - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software.” The ASU removes all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages. The ASU requires entities to begin capitalizing software costs when management authorizes and commits to funding the software project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used for its intended purpose. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this update will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, “Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities,” to establish guidance on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants received by business entities. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
3. Restructuring, Impairment and Other Related Charges
In August 2024, the Company initiated a restructuring plan to strategically realign the Company’s focus on the achievement of operational efficiencies that are expected to improve profitability and provide for reinvesting in technology and marketing initiatives (the “Restructuring Plan”). The Company’s Restructuring Plan includes the permanent closure of its Grantsville and Salt Lake City, Utah manufacturing facilities to consolidate mattress production in its Georgia plant, and a headcount reduction at the Company’s Utah headquarters to drive additional operating efficiencies. The consolidation into the Georgia facility was finalized in December 2024 and the closure of the two Utah manufacturing facilities was completed in May 2025. The reduction in workforce at the Utah headquarters was completed in August 2024. All restructuring activities were completed in the third quarter of 2025.

4. Fair Value Measurements
The Company uses the fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, essentially an exit price, based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
Level 1—Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2—Significant other observable inputs (i.e., quoted prices for similar items in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar items in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, such as interest rate and yield curves, and market-corroborated inputs); and
Level 3—Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting unit to develop its own assumptions.
The classification of fair value measurements within the established three-level hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurements. Financial instruments, although not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis include cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivables, accounts payable, and the Company’s debt obligations. The carrying amounts of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these accounts.
The estimated fair value
of the Company’s related party debt is based on Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. Level 2 inputs include observable inputs such as market-based
expectations for interest rates, credit risk and volatility. The unobservable Level 3 inputs are associated with the required rate of
return for the security implied by the various issuances of debt bundled with warrants, which were valued using a Monte Carlo model and
the timing and probability of a warrant reprice event, like a strategic alternative transaction. The estimated fair value of the Company’s
related party debt was $
The warrant liabilities (see Note 11 — Warrant Liabilities for more information) are Level 3 instruments and use internal models to estimate fair value using certain significant unobservable inputs which require determination of relevant inputs and assumptions. Accordingly, changes in these unobservable inputs may have a significant impact on fair value. Significant inputs, certain of which are unobservable, include risk free interest rate, expected average life, expected dividend yield, expected volatility and the timing and probability of a warrant reprice event. These Level 3 liabilities generally decrease (increase) in value based upon an increase (decrease) in risk free interest rate and expected dividend yield. Conversely, the fair value of these Level 3 liabilities generally increases (decreases) in value if the expected average life or expected volatility were to increase (decrease).
The following table summarizes the Company’s total Level 3 liability activity for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (in thousands):
| Warrants | Total Level 3 Liabilities | |||||||
| Fair value as of December 31, 2025 | $ | $ | ||||||

5. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Company markets and sells its products through direct-to-consumer e-commerce channels, Purple showrooms, retail brick-and-mortar wholesale partners, and third-party online retailers. Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligations under the contract which involves transferring the promised products to the customer, subject to shipping terms.
Disaggregated Revenue
The Company classifies revenue as either direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) or wholesale revenue. DTC revenues include the e-commerce channel which sells directly to consumers who purchase online, through the contact center, and through online marketplaces and the showrooms channel that sells directly to consumers who purchase at a Purple showroom location. The wholesale channel includes all product sales to the Company’s retail brick and mortar and online wholesale partners where consumers make purchases at their retail locations or through their online channels.
The following tables present the Company’s revenue disaggregated by sales channel (in thousands):

2024 Credit Agreement
On January 23, 2024, Purple
LLC, Purple Inc. and Intellibed (collectively, the “Loan Parties”) entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the
“Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), which amended and restated the then existing term loan agreement (“Term Loan
Agreement”), with Coliseum Capital Partners (“CCP”) and other lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”) and
Delaware Trust Company, as administrative agent. The Lenders agreed to assume the Loan Parties’ obligations under the Term Loan
Agreement and refinance their existing obligations. A term loan in the amount of $
In connection with the Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company issued
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement granted a security interest to the Lenders in substantially all of the assets (subject to certain limited exceptions) of the Loan Parties to secure the Loan Parties’ loans and other obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, including a security interest in the intellectual property owned by the Loan Parties.
The Loan Parties (other than Purple LLC) provided an unconditional guaranty of the payment of all obligations and liabilities of Purple LLC under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also provides for standard indemnification of the Lenders and contains representations, warranties and certain covenants of the Loan Parties. While any amounts are outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Loan Parties are subject to a number of affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants regarding dispositions of property, investments, forming or acquiring subsidiaries, business combinations or acquisitions, incurrence of additional indebtedness and transactions with affiliates, among other customary covenants. The Loan Parties are also restricted from paying dividends or making other distributions or payments on their capital stock, subject to limited exceptions. As of March 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
2025 Amendment
On March 12, 2025, the Loan
Parties, entered into the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2025 Amendment” and the Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement as so amended, the “Amended A&R Credit Agreement”) with CCP and Blackwell Partners LLC –
Series A (“Blackwell”) (collectively the “2025 Lenders”), which amends the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
The 2025 Amendment, among other things, provides for an increase in the initial principal amount of the Related Party Loan by $

The 2025 Amendment also provides
that (i) the First Incremental Loan shall be senior in right of repayment to the Related Party Loan and (ii) in any voluntary or mandatory
prepayment in part or in full of the First Incremental Loan for any reason, the Company will be required to pay an amount equal to the
greater of (i) the Make-Whole Premium (as defined below) and (ii)
The 2025 Amendment requires prepayment from certain amounts of proceeds received by the Company related to asset dispositions, equity issuances, incurrence of indebtedness, and extraordinary receipts. Additionally, upon an event of default, the 2025 Lenders may declare all or any portion of the term loan then outstanding to be accelerated and due and payable, immediately, including the prepayment premium. The Company determined that these features qualify as a derivative and must be bifurcated from the debt, but such value is de minimis. The Company will reassess whether the derivative has more than a de minimis value at each reporting period.
The 2025 Amendment also includes
contingent interest upon an event of default at a rate of

Amendment, the Company issued to the 2025 Lenders, warrants (the “2025 Warrants”) to purchase
The 2025 Amendment was evaluated and determined to be a modification of debt as the effective borrowing rate was not reduced, therefore the 2025 Lenders did not grant a concession, and the 2025 Amendment terms were not substantially different from the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
Second 2025 Amendment
On May 2, 2025, the Loan Parties
entered into a Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second 2025 Amendment”) with the 2025 Lenders,
which amends the Amended A&R Credit Agreement. The Second 2025 Amendment, among other things, provides for a commitment increase in

Third Amendment to the Amended A&R Credit Agreement
On March 24, 2026, the Loan Parties entered into a Third Amendment to the Amended A&R Credit Agreement with the Lenders, which revised
the maturity date under the Amended A&R Credit Agreement from December 31, 2026, to April 30, 2027 and waived certain requirements
and events of default relating to the going concern qualification in our December 31, 2025 financial statements. In connection with the
Third Amendment, the Loan Parties agreed to pay to the Lenders an amendment fee in the aggregate amount of $
Pursuant to the Third Amendment to the Amended A&R Credit Agreement, the Loan Parties waived certain requirements and events of default relating to the going concern qualification in our December 31, 2025 financial statements. Accordingly, the Company is in compliance as of March 31, 2026, with all covenants under the Amended A&R Credit Agreement.
The Company determined that it was experiencing financial difficulty and that the extension represented a concession granted by the Lenders as the effective borrowing rate was reduced. Accordingly, the Company accounted for the Third Amendment as a troubled debt restructuring. Since the undiscounted future cash payments were more than the carrying amount of the existing instrument, no gain was recognized. The impact of the revised terms, including the extension and associated amendment fee, has been reflected in the carrying amount of the debt and is being recognized through interest expense prospectively using a revised effective interest rate.
The Company has elected to
have interest paid-in-kind and added to the principal amount of the loans. Interest expense under the Related Party Loan, the First Incremental
Loan and the Second Incremental Loan for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 consisted of paid-in-kind interest of $

Warranty Liabilities
The Company provides a limited
warranty on most of the products it sells. The estimated warranty return costs associated with products sold through DTC channels are
expensed at the time of sale and included in cost of revenues. The estimated warranty return costs associated with products sold through
the wholesale channel are recorded at the time of sale and included as an offset to net revenues. Estimates for DTC warranty costs are
based primarily on historical warranty claims, estimated warranty costs and the estimate warranty claim rate. Estimates for wholesale
warranty costs are based primarily on the historical warranty claim amounts and the estimated claim rate and may be adjusted for any current
or expected trends as appropriate. Actual warranty claim costs could differ from these estimates. The Company regularly assesses and adjusts
the estimate of accrued warranty claims by updating claims rates for actual trends and projected claim costs. The Company classifies
estimated warranty costs expected to be paid beyond a year as a long-term liability. The Company has accrued $

Long-Term Incentive Cash Bonus Awards
On July 17, 2025, the Board unanimously approved a long-term incentive cash award to those employees eligible to participate in the Company’s 2017 Plan. The incentive award payment is based on a combination of time-based payments over a three-year period and performance-based payments paid in three years if certain financial performance targets are met.
On June 20, 2024, the Board unanimously approved a performance long-term incentive cash award to those employees eligible to participate in the Company’s 2017 Plan. The incentive award payment is based on a performance goal of the volume weighted average price per share of the Company’s Common Stock on NASDAQ on March 31, 2027. The Company determined the provisions surrounding the performance cash long-term incentive award require it to be accounted for as a liability at fair value at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings in the period of change.
The Company recorded a de minimis amount of compensation expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 related to these future award payments.
Rights of Securities Holders
On January 23, 2024, in connection with the issuance of the 2024 Warrants, the Company entered into an amended and restated registration rights agreement with holders of the Warrants (the “Holders”), providing for the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of the 2024 Warrants, the shares issuable upon the exercise of the 2024 Warrants and Common Stock held by the Holders as of such date, subject to customary terms and conditions.

On May 2, 2025 in connection with the issuance of the 2025 Additional Warrants, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “Third Amended Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Holders, providing for the registration under the Securities Act of the 2025 Additional Warrants, the shares issuable upon the exercise of the 2025 Additional Warrants, other warrants held by the Holders (and shares issuable upon exercise thereof) and the Common Stock held by the Holders as of such date (the “2025 Additional Registrable Securities”), subject to customary terms and conditions.

depending on the nature of the underlying manufacturing relationships and the application of ASC 606—Revenue from Contracts
with Customers. Under the guidance, payments to Tempur Sherwood, LLC are evaluated to determine whether they are economically linked
to the underlying customer arrangement. The Company has concluded that payments to Tempur Sherwood, LLC are economically linked to the
Mattress Firm MRA Amendment and therefore represent consideration payable to a customer. As a result of the Purple Royale launch, these
payments are recorded as a reduction of revenue, and revenue is presented on a net basis. The Company recorded $

Non-Income Related Taxes
The U.S. Supreme Court ruling in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., No.17-494, reversed a longstanding precedent that remote sellers are not required to collect state and local sales taxes. The Company cannot predict the effect of these and other attempts to impose sales, income or other taxes on e-commerce. The Company currently collects and reports on sales tax in all states in which it does business. However, the application of existing, new or revised taxes on the Company’s business, in particular, sales taxes, value-added tax and similar taxes would likely increase the cost of doing business online and decrease the attractiveness of selling products over the internet. The application of these taxes on the Company’s business could also create significant increases in internal costs necessary to capture data and collect and remit taxes. There have been, and will continue to be, substantial ongoing costs associated with complying with the various indirect tax requirements in the numerous markets in which the Company conducts or will conduct business.

While the Company consolidates Purple LLC for financial reporting purposes, the Company will be taxed on its share of earnings of Purple LLC not attributed to the noncontrolling interest holders, which will continue to bear their share of income tax on its allocable earnings of Purple LLC.

The CODM uses consolidated net loss to evaluate earnings generated from segment assets (return on assets) in deciding whether to reinvest profits into its single reportable segment or into other parts of the entity, such as for acquisitions. Consolidated net loss is also used to monitor budget versus actual results. The monitoring of budgeted versus actual results are used in assessing the segment’s performance and in establishing management’s compensation.

The Company currently obtains materials and components used in production from outside sources. As a result, the Company is dependent upon suppliers that in some instances, are the sole source of supply. The Company is continuing efforts to dual-source key components. The failure of one or more of the Company’s suppliers to provide materials or components on a timely basis could significantly impact the results of operations. The Company believes that it can obtain these raw materials and components from other sources of supply in the ordinary course of business, although an unexpected loss of supply over a short period of time may not allow for the replacement of these sources in the ordinary course of business.

Overview of Our Business
Our mission is to deliver the greatest sleep ever invented.
We began as a digitally-native vertical brand founded on comfort product innovation with premium offerings, and have since expanded into brick & mortar stores as a true omni-channel brand. We offer a variety of innovative, branded and premium comfort products, including mattresses, pillows, cushions, bases, sheets and more. Our products are the result of decades of innovation and investment in proprietary and patented comfort technologies and the development of our own manufacturing processes. Our proprietary Hyper-Elastic Polymer gel technology underpins many of our comfort products and provides a range of benefits that differentiate our products from our competitors. Specially engineered to relieve pressure, maintain an ideal body temperature, and provide instantly adaptive support, Purple’s patented technology has been tested rigorously within medical and consumer applications for over 30 years. Originally designed for use in hospital beds and wheelchairs, we adapted this unique pressure-relieving material for our mattresses, pillows and other cushion products.
We market and sell our products via our direct-to-consumer channel, which includes Purple.com (our direct-to-consumer e-commerce), Purple showrooms, our customer contact center and online marketplaces (collectively “DTC”), and our wholesale channel through retail brick-and-mortar and online wholesale partners.
Organization
Our business consists of Purple Inc. and its consolidated subsidiary, Purple LLC. As the sole managing member of Purple LLC, Purple Inc., through its officers and directors, is responsible for all operational and administrative decision making and control of the day-to-day business affairs of Purple LLC without the approval of any other member. At March 31, 2026, Purple Inc. had a 99.85% economic ownership interest in Purple LLC while Class B unit holders had the remaining 0.15%.
Recent Developments in Our Business
Operational Developments
We entered 2026 building on the progress we made in the fourth quarter, and our first quarter reflects continued progress and greater consistency across our channels. Trends were solid during the quarter, with growth in our showroom and wholesale channels. The E-commerce channel also improved sequentially declining 10% in the first quarter year over year compared to down 15% in the prior period year over year, reflecting more disciplined marketing execution and early signs of improved conversion. Importantly, we continue to see the benefits of actions taken last year reflected in our operating expense performance. This progress is a direct result of the changes we’ve made to the business, not a recovery of the broader market, reinforcing the durability of the model we’ve been building.

Impact of Revenue Presentation for Certain Product Arrangements
Revenue for certain product arrangements is presented differently depending on the nature of the underlying manufacturing relationships and the application of ASC 606—Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under the guidance, payments to third-party manufacturers, including manufacturers under common control with certain customers, are evaluated to determine whether they are economically linked to an underlying customer arrangement. For certain customer-specific or exclusive product programs where the manufacturer is under common control with the customer, the Company has concluded that payments to the manufacturer are economically linked to the customer relationship and therefore represent consideration payable to a customer. As a result, these payments are recorded as a reduction of revenue, and revenue is presented on a net basis. The Company recorded $4.9 million in consideration paid as a reduction of revenue in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026. This presentation results in reported revenue being lower than the gross amount billed to the customer. While the net presentation affects reported revenue, it does not impact gross profit dollars for these arrangements. The distinction reflects the application of GAAP to different fact patterns rather than a difference in the underlying economics of the transactions.
Debt Financings
On March 24, 2026, the Loan Parties entered into the Third Amendment with the Lenders, which revised the maturity date under the Amended A&R Credit Agreement from December 31, 2026, to April 30, 2027 and waived certain requirements and events of default relating to the going concern qualification in our December 31, 2025 financial statements. In connection with the Third Amendment, the Loan Parties agreed to pay to the Lenders an amendment fee in the aggregate amount of $1.6 million, equal to 1.25% pro rata based on each Lender’s outstanding principal amount (the “Amendment Fee”). Of the Amendment Fee, approximately $1.3 million is payable-in-kind by adding such amount to the 2025 Lenders’ outstanding principal amount. The remaining $0.3 million of the Amendment Fee was paid in cash to the other lenders. In connection with the Third Amendment, the Loan Parties also agreed to reimburse the 2025 Lenders for certain expenses in the amount of $0.3 million.
Review of Strategic Alternatives
We have engaged with multiple parties about a broad range of opportunities to maximize shareholder value, including, but not limited to, a merger, sale or other strategic or financial transaction. The Board has formed a special committee of independent directors and we have engaged a financial advisor to support them in evaluating a range of options and exploring other potential strategic alternatives. If we are unsuccessful in engaging in a favorable strategic alternative, then our ability to grow our business and compete with larger, including combined, competitors may be adversely affected.
Impact of United States Tariff Policy
We continue to actively manage the impact of recent United States tariff policies. Importantly, all of our mattresses are manufactured in the United States, and about 15% of our cost of goods is tied to products sourced from overseas. This limited exposure is primarily concentrated in the textile side of the business, which includes sheets and mattress covers, but also includes the import of bases and foundations. Tariffs impacted us by approximately $1.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 due to our mitigation efforts which have reduced the overall impact to our initial expectations. The tariff landscape remains fluid, and we are actively evaluating sourcing alternatives and pricing strategies on a case-by-case basis. We believe that our vertically integrated model and strong vendor relationships give us the flexibility to remain agile and responsive to changes in tariff policies, and we believe that we will be able to partially mitigate these impacts through a combination of supply chain repositioning, vendor collaborations, and selective pricing actions. On March 6, 2026, we filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Court of International Trade against the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”), the CBP commissioner, and the United States of America seeking a full refund of the $5.3 million in tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act that the Company has paid to the United States (See Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies, Legal Proceedings).
Executive Summary – Results of Operations
Net revenues decreased $8.4 million, or 8.1%, to $95.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $104.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The drop in revenue was primarily due to a decrease in e-commerce sales and recognized wholesale revenue. From a sales channel perspective, e-commerce net revenues decreased $4.8 million, or 10.6%, wholesale net revenues decreased $4.5 million or 11.0% and showroom net revenues increased $0.9 million, or 4.8%. The decrease in wholesale revenue was due mainly to $4.9 million in payments to a manufacturer that is under common control with a customer and represents consideration paid to a customer. Accordingly, these payments are recorded as a reduction in revenue. The decreases were partially offset by our showroom net revenue increase of $0.9 million or 4.8%. The increase in our showrooms channel represents a 7.0% year-over-year increase for all stores that have been open for 13 or more months. This is the third consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth in the showrooms channel, driven by increased order values through effective upselling and product bundling.
28
Gross profit decreased $5.9 million, or 14.3%, to $35.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $41.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Our gross profit percentage decreased to 36.8% of net revenues in the first quarter of 2026 from 39.4% in the first quarter of 2025 due to our strategic investment in Purple Royale floor models to support the Mattress Firm rollout, as well as modest manufacturing overhead deleverage driven by lower production volumes and less favorable absorption of fixed costs.
Operating expenses decreased $3.5 million, or 6.3% to $52.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $55.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This decrease was driven by a $3.3 million decrease in advertising spending, a $2.8 million decrease in employee related expenses and $2.0 million decrease in restructuring related costs from last year, partially offset by $4.6 million in strategic alternative and other costs.
Total other expense, net increased $9.0 million, or 194.6% to $13.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The other expense, net in the first quarter of 2026 consists of interest expense of $8.2 million and a $7.0 million loss on change in fair value of warrants, partially offset by $1.5 million in other income. The other expense, net in the first quarter of 2025 consists of interest expense of $4.8 million, partially offset by $0.2 million in other income and gain on change in fair value of warrants.
Net loss attributable to Purple Inc. was $30.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to a net loss of $19.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The $11.4 million increase in net loss was primarily due to lower gross margins and the increase in loss from change in fair value of the warrants, partially offset by reduced operating expenses.
Outlook for Growth
The way we think about the business today is fundamentally different than a year ago. Last year was about reshaping the business for a tougher market – right sizing our cost structure, strengthening the foundation and restoring profitability. Now, we are focused on growth with our strategic focus areas that build on what is already working and how we are running our business. We believe we are well positioned to grow our business given our new grid innovation, evolved messaging strategy, our new cost structure and other cost saving initiatives. Our Path to Premium Sleep strategy remains focused on the following three priorities to drive growth:
| ● | Knowing Our Consumer. Knowing our consumer continues to shape how we show up across all channels. We have shifted away from promotion-led messaging toward clearer, benefit driven marketing focused on our differentiated technology and how we deliver better sleep. Our Less Pain, Better Sleep positioning continues to resonate, providing a consistent, consumer-led message that translates across e-commerce, retail, and wholesale channels. We are making our differentiation clearer, our content more educational and our local marketing more effective at converting awareness into foot traffic. We continue to make changes to our creative approach and how we guide consumers through the online purchase journey with a more focused and tactical path to identifying the right mattress. |
| ● | Delivering Better Sleep. Our innovation continues to resonate with consumers, with our premium products maintaining strong interest in both wholesale and showroom channels. We saw a strong initial response to the launch of Purple Royale, our new premium offering developed in partnership with Mattress Firm. Additionally, Rejuvenate 2.0 continues to outperform our expectations with strong demand. This performance reinforces the strength of our premium positioning and the resonance of our innovation with consumers. We are also seeing a positive halo effect across the portfolio, supporting performance in adjacent categories. We are focused on elevating the full consumer journey across both owned and partner channels. This includes improving how we present and explain our technology in-store, with greater emphasis on pain relief and more effective use of demonstrations and digital support. This is resulting in improved engagement from retail sales associates, particularly within our wholesale channel, as our product storytelling continues to resonate. We have also made changes to our online sales approach, enhancing live customer care and follow-up to better replicate the in-store experience in a digital environment, which is helping improve engagement and close rates. At the same time, we’re enhancing our delivery experience to ensure a more consistent and credible brand experience from purchase through fulfillment. These improvements are helping reinforce our value proposition and support stronger conversion. |
| ● | Executing with Financial Discipline. We have taken meaningful steps to resize and simplify the business, and we are seeing those benefits reflected in our operating efficiency and cost structure. These actions have created a more stable foundation as we shift toward growth. In the first quarter, gross margin came in below our normal 40% baseline, primarily driven by higher levels of floor model discounts associated with the Purple Royale rollout at Mattress Firm. We view this as temporary, and as the floor model transition normalizes, we expect improved contribution from Purple Royale. We’ve seen similar dynamics during prior transitions and would expect a comparable normalization as floor model activity moderates. At the same time, we are making continued progress in our underlying cost structure, particularly across sourcing, operations, and fulfillment, supported by ongoing productivity initiatives and supply chain optimization efforts. We are also actively managing a more dynamic cost environment, including tariff dynamics and rising input costs. Our mitigation efforts are well underway, including diversifying our supplier base, expanding multi-sourcing, and selectively in-sourcing key components, such as pillows, where we see both cost and quality benefits. |
There is no guarantee that we will be able to effectively execute on these initiatives, which are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict, including the risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of this Quarterly Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026 and elsewhere herein. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those described above. In addition, we may, in the future, adapt these focuses in response to changes in the market or our business.

Revenues, Net
Net revenues decreased $8.4 million, or 8.1%, to $95.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $104.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This decrease was primarily driven by our e-commerce and wholesale recognized revenue. From a sales channel perspective, e-commerce net revenues decreased $4.8 million, or 10.6%, wholesale net revenue decreased $4.5 million or 11.0% and showroom net revenues increased $0.9 million, or 4.8%. The decrease in wholesale revenue was due mainly to $4.9 million in payments to a manufacturer that is under common control with a customer and represents consideration paid to a customer. Accordingly, these payments are recorded as a reduction in revenue.
Total Cost of Revenues
Total cost of revenues decreased $2.6 million, or 4.1%, to $60.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $63.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This decrease was due primarily to $4.9 million in costs associated with a manufacturer that is affiliated with a customer recorded as reduction of revenue. This decrease was partially offset by less favorable absorption of fixed costs from lower production volumes. Our gross profit percentage decreased to 36.8% of net revenues in the first quarter of 2026 from 39.4% in the first quarter of 2025, due to our strategic investment in Purple Royale floor models to support the Mattress Firm rollout, as well as modest manufacturing overhead deleverage driven by lower production volumes and less favorable absorption of fixed costs.
30
Marketing and Sales
Marketing and sales expense decreased $5.1 million, or 13.8%, to $31.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $36.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This decrease primarily consisted of a $3.3 million decrease in advertising spend, a $1.3 million decrease in employee related expenses due to head count reductions and $0.2 million decrease in all other marketing and sales expenses.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expense increased $3.5 million, or 24.5%, to $18.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $14.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase was due to a $4.3 million increase in strategic alternative costs and an increase of $0.7 million in all other general and administrative costs, partially offset by a $1.4 million decrease in employee related costs due to headcount reductions.
Research and Development
Research and development expense was flat to prior year at $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Restructuring, Impairment and Other Related Charges
There were no restructuring, impairment and other related charges for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as all restructuring activities were completed in 2025. We incurred $2.0 million of restructuring, impairment and other related charges during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Operating Loss
Operating loss increased $2.4 million, or 16.3%, to $16.8 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $14.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase in our operating loss is the result of a lower gross profit percent and increases in strategic alternative costs, partially offset by reduced advertising spend and lower headcount costs.
Interest Expense
Interest expense totaled $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase was primarily due to additional interest incurred on a higher principal balance on the Related Party Loan as the Company elected the paid-in-kind option on monthly interest over the past 12 months.
31
Other Income, Net
Other income increased to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase was mainly due to $1.3 million received for sublease rent payments on facilities we are no longer using and have subleased to other parties.
Change in Fair Value – Warrant Liabilities
Our Warrants contain certain provisions that did not meet the criteria for equity classification and therefore are recorded as liabilities with a re-measurement of fair value at each reporting date. We incurred a $7.0 million loss on the change in fair value of our warrant liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 related to the increase in fair value from the previous reporting date. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized a negligible gain related to the net decrease in fair value of the warrant liability.
Income Tax (Expense) Benefit
We had a de minimis income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The income tax expense amounts in both the first quarter of 2026 and 2025 were related to various state taxes.
Noncontrolling Interest
We calculate net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests on a quarterly basis using their weighted average ownership percentage. Net loss attributed to noncontrolling interests was negligible for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of funds are cash flows from operations and cash and cash equivalents on hand, supplemented with borrowings made pursuant to various loan agreements. Principal uses of funds consist of capital expenditures, working capital needs, operating lease payment obligations and investing in innovation. In accordance with the terms of our various loan agreements, we have elected to pay interest in kind on our loans to reduce cash obligations. Our working capital needs depend largely upon the timing of cash receipts from product sales, payments to vendors and others, changes in inventories, and operating lease payment obligations. Our cash and cash equivalents and working capital positions were $25.0 million and $22.4 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2026 compared to $24.3 million and $35.2 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2025. Cash used for capital expenditures was $2.0 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Our capital expenditures in 2026 have primarily consisted of additional investments made in our manufacturing operations and showroom facilities. Additional details regarding our current debt are described above in Note 10 - Debt.
Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. In connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, we conducted an evaluation as to whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, which raised substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date of the issuance of such financial statements.
32
We had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $25.0 million and an accumulated deficit of $655.8 million at March 31, 2026. We incurred a net loss of $30.5 million and net cash provided by operating activities and net cash used in investing activities was $3.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2026. We have a history of recurring net losses and cash used in operations, an accumulated deficit, and requiring additional capital to fund our operations.
The funds we have on hand and any follow-on capital, if needed, will be used to fund our operations and invest in the business to expand sales and marketing efforts, as well as to invest in innovation. As described below, we have implemented plans that we believe will both increase our revenues from the sales of our products and achieve cost savings within the next year, sufficient to generate positive operating cash flow levels. However, we may be adversely impacted by uncertain market conditions and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in this regard. If such plans are not successful, we may need to raise additional capital in order to support operations and business initiatives. Access to additional capital is uncertain and not within our control. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have taken a number of actions to increase cash flow and support our operations and strategies. In August 2024, we implemented the Restructuring Plan (as defined below) to consolidate manufacturing operations resulting in cost savings. We have realized and plan to continue to realize direct material cost savings by concentrating efforts on driving gross margin improvement through various methods such as selective pricing actions, continued mix shift towards the Restore and Rejuvenate collections, and by driving cost savings through supply chain initiatives and manufacturing efficiency. We have delivered direct material cost savings from our supplier diversification efforts, improved scrap and yield results from continuous improvements, and outbound freight costs reflect cost improvements along with improved delivery reliability. We have been successful in subleasing the two manufacturing facilities that were vacated as part of the Restructuring Plan. We have also taken additional cost-saving initiatives in 2025 and the beginning of 2026 to reduce headcount and streamline responsibilities and reporting structure. Further, our plans include additional actions intended to improve liquidity and reduce costs, including planned optimization of advertising spend, limiting the number of new store openings, efforts to mitigate tariff impacts by managing the country of origin, and other cost-saving initiatives. We have elected to have interest paid-in-kind and added to the principal amount of the loans under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. On March 24, 2026, we executed the Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) with the Lenders to extend the maturity date of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement from December 31, 2026 to April 30, 2027. We are currently evaluating potential strategic alternatives and opportunities to achieve additional liquidity through one or more future debt refinancings.
Additionally, in May 2025, we entered into an agreement with Mattress Firm, Inc. (“Mattress Firm”), a business unit of Somnigroup International, Inc. (“SGI”) to expand its inventory of the Company’s products across SGI’s national store network from approximately 5,000 mattress slots to a minimum of 12,000 mattress slots (see Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies, SGI Commercial Arrangements). We are now represented in Mattress Firm’s full store network and with the recent launch of Purple Royale, the exclusive Luxe product for Mattress Firm, we have expanded to all 12,000 committed slots. We have also expanded into more Costco clubs in the fourth quarter of 2025.

The following summarizes our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 as reported in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | |||||||
| Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities | $ | 2,989 | $ | (23,070 | ) | |||
| Net cash used in investing activities | (2,033 | ) | (2,144 | ) | ||||

| Cash, end of the period | $ | 24,955 | $ | 21,627 | ||||
Cash provided by operating activities was $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to cash used in operating activities was $23.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The $26.1 million increase in year-over-year cash provided by operating activities included a $28.5 million increase in cash provided from the changes in operating assets and liabilities and an $8.8 million increase in non-cash cash adjustments, partially offset by a $11.4 million increase in net loss.
Cash used in investing activities reflected net capital expenditures of $2.0 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Capital expenditures in the first three months of 2026 primarily consisted of additional investments made in our manufacturing operations.
Cash used in investing activities was $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to cash provided in investing activities of $17.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Cash used in financing activities for 2026 consist of amendment fess paid in cash to certain lenders for the Third Amendment. Financing activities during the first three months of 2025 included $19.0 million of proceeds from the 2025 Amendment financing offset in part by $1.2 million in payments for debt issuance costs.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
Our operating results are subject to risk from interest rate fluctuations on the outstanding borrowings. Interest rate risk is highly sensitive due to many factors, including U.S. monetary and tax policies, U.S. and international economic factors and other factors beyond our control. The proceeds we received from the Related Party Loan entered into in January 2024 bears interest at a variable rate which exposes us to market risks relating to changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2026, we had $132.5 million of variable rate debt associated with the Related Party Loan. Based on this debt level, an increase of 100 basis points in the effective interest rate on the outstanding debt amount would result in an increase in interest expense of approximately $1.3 million over the next 12 months.
We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes, but this does not preclude our adoption of specific hedging strategies in the future.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO” and together with the CEO, the “Certifying Officers”), evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Certifying Officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based upon this evaluation, and the above criteria, our Certifying Officers concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2026 at the reasonable assurance level.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
