Explanatory Note
The Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its January 28, 2026 Current Report on Form 8-K solely to furnish an amended version of the earnings release (the "Amended Earnings Release") originally furnished on January 28, 2026 (“Original Earnings Release”) reflecting the impact of incremental non-cash amortization expense and a reclassification between current and non-current liabilities.
The Amended Earnings Release reflects an increase of $4.1 million in amortization expense for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025 and a $20.9 million reduction in current portion of long-term debt, with a corresponding increase in long-term debt. Other than the resulting impacts on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income, Balance Sheet, and Statement of Cash Flows, no other changes have been made to the Original Earnings Release.
