+Added: As described in Notes 1 and 8 to the consolidated financial statements, on the Exchange Closing Date, the Company issued $115.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Second Lien Notes as part of the September 2025 Debt Exchange transaction.
The Company evaluates convertible debt instruments and related transactions at inception to determine if those contracts include embedded features that should be bifurcated as an embedded derivative.
−Removed: The 2029 Notes include certain embedded features requiring bifurcation, which did not have material values as of December 31, 2024 due to management’s estimates of the likelihood of triggering events, but that may have value in the future should those estimates change, with any change in fair value recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
−Removed: We identified the evaluation of whether the embedded features included in the 2029 Notes should be bifurcated as embedded derivatives as a critical audit matter.
−Removed: Determining whether the embedded features included in the 2029 Notes should be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivatives involved the use of significant judgment in the application of highly complex
−Removed: accounting standards.
−Removed: Auditing these elements involved especially challenging and complex auditor judgment due to the nature and extent of audit effort required to evaluate management’s application of highly complex accounting standards to these elements.
−Removed: The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:

−Removed: Impairment Testing of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets
−Removed: As described in Notes 1, 5 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment, net balances as of December 31, 2024 were $222.6 million, $15.1 million and $100.6 million, respectively.
−Removed: Prior to testing goodwill for impairment, the Company first tests its long-lived assets for impairment.
−Removed: Recoverability of these assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate from their use and eventual disposition.
−Removed: If such review indicates that the carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable and the asset's fair value is less than the carrying amount, an impairment charge is recognized.
−Removed: In connection with the annual goodwill impairment completed as of October 2024, using the quantitative “Step 1” assessment, the Company determined the fair value of its reporting unit, using both an income approach and a market approach.
−Removed: The fair value determination using an income approach requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions that related to forecasts of future revenues, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) and the discount rate.
−Removed: As a result of the impairment tests in the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $56.9 million for goodwill and $35.2 million for intangible assets which is included in Impairment of goodwill and Impairment of intangibles and other assets in the consolidated statements of operations, respectively.
−Removed: We identified the Company’s impairment testing of its long-lived assets and goodwill in the fourth quarter of 2024 as a critical audit matter.
−Removed: The cash flows used in determining the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit and recoverability of the asset group required the use of significant judgment due to the subjectivity and uncertainty of the forecasts of future revenues for certain years and EBITDA.
−Removed: Auditing these elements involved especially challenging and subjective auditor judgment due to the nature and extent of audit effort required to address these matters.
+Added: The terms of the Second Lien Notes provide for redemption at the option of the Company or the Holder in certain circumstances.
+Added: No embedded features were bifurcated from the Second Lien Notes as the September 2025 Debt Exchange was accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring and the Company recognized a gain in connection with the issuance of the Second Lien Notes.
+Added: We identified the evaluation of whether the embedded redemption features included in the Second Lien Notes should be bifurcated as embedded derivatives as a critical audit matter.
+Added: Determining whether the embedded features included in the Second Lien Notes should be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivatives involved the use of significant judgment in the application of highly complex accounting standards.
+Added: Auditing these elements involved especially complex auditor judgment due to the nature and extent of audit effort required to evaluate management’s application of complex accounting standards.
The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:
−Removed: • Evaluating the reasonableness of the assumptions regarding forecasts of future revenues for certain years and EBITDA by:
−Removed: i) evaluating the consistency of the forecasts of future revenues and EBITDA with historical results, and ii) evaluating the consistency of the forecasts of future revenues and EBITDA with the Company’s objectives and strategies.
−Removed: • Testing the accuracy and completeness of information used by management to determine the forecasts of future revenues for certain years.
+Added: • Reading and analyzing the relevant agreements to identify relevant terms and conditions that affect whether the embedded redemption features in the Second Lien Notes should be bifurcated.
+Added: • With the assistance of professionals in our firm having expertise in the relevant technical accounting, we evaluated the Company’s conclusions regarding whether the embedded features should be bifurcated and accounted for as derivatives under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

+Added: In connection with the annual impairment test completed as of October 1, 2025 and the interim impairment test performed at December 31, 2025, the Company determined the fair value of its reporting unit using both an income approach and a market approach.
+Added: The fair value determination using an income approach requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasts of future revenues, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) and the discount rate.
+Added: The discount rate used in the income approach model in connection with the interim impairment testing included a risk premium.
+Added: As a result of the annual impairment test, no impairment was identified, as the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit exceeded its carrying value.
+Added: As a result of the interim impairment test, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $41.6 million in the consolidated statements of operations during the year ended December 31, 2025, to recognize the impairment of goodwill in the Company’s one reporting unit.
+Added: We identified the annual impairment test and interim impairment test as critical audit matters.
+Added: Determining the fair value of the reporting unit for the annual impairment test and interim impairment test using an income approach required significant judgment due to the subjectivity and uncertainty involved in making significant assumptions related to (i) forecasts of future revenues for certain years used in the annual impairment test and the (ii) discount rates used in both the annual and December 31, 2025 interim impairment tests.
+Added: Auditing these elements involved especially challenging and subjective auditor judgment due to the nature and extent of audit effort required to address these matters, including the extent of specialized skills and knowledge needed.

+Added: (i) historical results and recent experience, taking into account changes in conditions and events affecting the Company and (ii) the Company’s objectives and strategies and by recomputing forecasted revenue.
+Added: • Testing the accuracy and completeness of expiring customer contracts on a sample basis by agreeing the information to the customer contracts used by management to determine the forecasts of future revenues for certain years used in the annual impairment test.
+Added: • Utilizing personnel with specialized knowledge and skills in valuation to evaluate the reasonableness of the discount rates utilized in the income approach in connection with the annual impairment testing and interim impairment testing by (i) using certain market information to develop an expectation of the discount rate for comparison to management’s selected discount rate, and (ii) assessing the risk premium based on qualitative facts and circumstances.
