NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular amounts in thousands, except per share data, or unless otherwise specified)
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Basis of presentation
The interim consolidated financial statements of Perma-Pipe International Holdings, Inc., and subsidiaries (collectively, "PPIH", "Company", or "Registrant") are unaudited, but include all adjustments that the Company's management considers necessary to fairly state the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. These adjustments consist of normal recurring adjustments. Certain information and footnote disclosures have been omitted pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules and regulations. The consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2025 is derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of future or annual results. Interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10 -K. The Company's fiscal year ends on January 31. Years and balances described as 2025 and 2024 are for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026 and for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025 , respectively.
Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements
During 2024, the Company had identified and corrected an error relating to a subsidiary in the Middle East that incorrectly recorded a duplicate invoice related to the purchase of property, plant, and equipment ("PP&E"), which caused an overstatement of PP&E and trade accounts payable, and resulted in an overstatement of net cash provided by operating activities and net cash used in investing activities of approximately $ 1.4 million in the consolidated statement of cash flows during the three months ended April 30, 2024. The Company determined that the error was not material to the unaudited consolidated financial statements in its Quarterly Report on Form 10 -Q for the three months ended April 30, 2024. However, in order to correctly present the unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company revised the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended April 30, 2024.
The following tables summarize the impact of this correction as of and for the three months ended April 30, 2024:

Note 2 - Business segment reporting
The Company operates under one segment: Piping Systems. The results are presented on a consolidated basis to the Chief Executive Officer who serves as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The CODM regularly reviews consolidated revenues, significant expenses, and consolidated net income attributable to common stock to make operating decisions and assess performance. The CODM uses this information in making company-wide decisions when determining how to allocate resources.
Significant expenses represent amounts that are regularly provided to the CODM and included in consolidated net income attributable to common stock.
The following table summarizes the Company's revenues, net income attributable to common stock, and significant expenses:

Note 3 - Accounts receivable
The majority of the Company's accounts receivable are due from geographically dispersed contractors and manufacturing companies. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customer's financial condition. In the United States, collateral is not generally required. In the United Arab Emirates ("U.A.E."), Saudi Arabia, Egypt and India, letters of credit are usually obtained for significant orders. Accounts receivable are due within various time periods specified in the terms applicable to the specific customer and are stated as amounts due from customers net of an allowance for claims and credit losses. Standard payment terms are generally net 30 to 60 days. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable. The assessment of the allowance for credit losses involves certain judgments and estimates. Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information from internal and external sources relating to past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company may also establish an allowance for credit losses for specific receivables when it is probable that a specific receivable will not be collected and the loss can be reasonably estimated. Past due trade accounts receivable balances are written off when the Company's collection efforts have been unsuccessful in collecting the amount due and the amount is deemed uncollectible. The write off is recorded against the allowance for credit losses.
For the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024 , no individual customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's consolidated net sales.
As of April 30, 2025 and January 31, 2025 , no individual customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's accounts receivable .
Note 4 - Revenue recognition
The Company accounts for its revenues under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers .
Revenue from contracts with customers
The Company defines a contract as an agreement that has approval and commitment from both parties, defined rights and identifiable payment terms, which ensures the contract has commercial substance and that collectability is reasonably assured.
The Company’s standard revenue transactions are classified into two main categories:
1 )
Systems and Coating - which include all bundled products in which the Company engineers, and manufactures pre-insulated specialty piping systems mainly relating to the district heating and cooling and oil & gas markets.
2 )
Products - which include cables, leak detection products, heat trace products, material/goods not bundled with piping or flowline systems, and field services not bundled into a project contract.
In accordance with ASC 606 - 10 - 25 - 27 through 29, the Company recognizes specialty piping and coating systems revenue over time as the manufacturing process progresses because one of the following conditions exists:
1 )
the customer owns the material that is being coated, so the customer controls the asset and thus the work-in-process; or
2 )
the customer controls the work-in-process due to the custom nature of the pre-insulated, fabricated system being manufactured, which has no alternative future use, and there is a right to payment for work performed to date plus profit margin.
Products revenue is recognized when goods are shipped or services are performed (ASC 606 - 10 - 25 - 30 ).
A breakdown of the Company's revenues by revenue class for the three months ended April 30, 2025 are as follows:
Three Months Ended April 30,

Revenue recognized under output method
31,047 66 % 20,928 61 %
Total
$ 46,747 100 % $ 34,321 100 %
The input method as noted in ASC 606 - 10 - 55 - 20 is used by certain operating entities to measure revenue by the costs incurred to date relative to the estimated costs to satisfy the contract over time. Generally, these contracts are considered a single performance obligation satisfied over time and due to the custom nature of the goods and services, the "over time" method is the most faithful depiction of the Company’s performance as it measures the value of the goods and services transferred to the customer. Costs include all material, labor, and other direct costs incurred to satisfy the performance obligations of the contract. Revenue recognition begins when projects costs are incurred.
The output method as noted in ASC 606 - 10 - 55 - 17 is used by all other operating entities to measure revenue by the direct measurement of the outputs produced relative to the remaining goods promised under the contract. Due to the types of end customers, generally these contracts require formal inspection protocols or specific export documentation for units produced, or produced and shipped, therefore, the output method is the most faithful depiction of the Company’s performance under the contract. Depending on the conditions of the contract, revenue may be recognized based on units produced, inspected and held by the Company prior to shipment or on units produced, inspected and shipped.

Table of Contents
Contract assets and liabilities
Contract assets represent revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed for work in progress for which the Company has a valid contract and an enforceable right to payment for work completed. Contract liabilities represent billings in excess of costs for work in progress for which the Company has a valid contract and an enforceable right to payment for work completed. Both customer billings and the satisfaction (or partial satisfaction) of the performance obligation(s) occur throughout the manufacturing process and impact the period end balances in these accounts. In addition, contract assets include receivables or amounts that are billable beyond the passage of time.
The following table shows the reconciliation of costs in excess of billings and billings in excess of costs:

The Company has recorded $ 23.3 million and $ 18.9 million of unbilled accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheet s as of April 30, 2025 and January 31, 2025 , respectively, from revenues generated by certain of its subsidiaries. The Company has fulfilled all performance obligations and has recorded revenue under the respective contracts. The deliverables under these contracts have been accepted by the customer and billings will be made once the customer takes possession of or arranges shipping for the products. The Company anticipates that substantially all of the amounts included in unbilled accounts receivable as of April 30, 2025 will be billed within one year.

Note 6 - Income taxes
The determination of the consolidated provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and related valuation allowances requires management to make judgments and estimates. As a company with subsidiaries in foreign jurisdictions, the process of calculating income taxes involves estimating current tax obligations and exposures in each jurisdiction as well as making judgments regarding the future recoverability of deferred tax assets. The relative proportion of taxable income earned domestically versus internationally can fluctuate significantly from period to period. Changes in the estimated level of annual pre-tax income, tax laws and the results of tax audits can affect the overall effective income tax rate, which impacts the level of income tax expense and net income. Judgments and estimates related to the Company's projections and assumptions are inherently uncertain; therefore, actual results could differ materially from projections.
The Company's worldwide effective tax rates ("ETR") for the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024 were 21 % and 30 % , respectively. The change in the ETR is due to changes to the mix of income and loss in various jurisdictions.
The Company expects that future distributions from foreign subsidiaries will not be subject to incremental U.S. federal tax as they will be excludible from U.S. taxable income either as remittances of previously taxed earnings and profits or eligible for a full dividends received deduction. Current and future earnings in the Company's subsidiaries in Canada and Egypt are not permanently reinvested. The earnings from these subsidiaries are subject to tax in their local jurisdiction and withholding taxes in these jurisdictions are considered. As such, the Company has accrued a liability of $ 1.0 million as of April 30, 2025 related to these taxes.
Note 7 - Goodwill
All identifiable goodwill as of April 30, 2025 and January 31, 2025 , is attributable to the purchase of the remaining 50 % interest in Perma-Pipe Canada, Ltd., which occurred in 2016.
The Company performs an impairment assessment of goodwill annually as of January 31, or more frequently if triggering events occur that could indicate that more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit did not exceed its carrying value, resulting in an impairment.

Finance obligation - buildings and land. On April 14, 2021, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement, pursuant to which the Company sold its land and buildings in Lebanon, Tennessee (the "Property") for $ 10.4 million. The transaction generated net cash proceeds of $ 9.1 million. Concurrently with the sale, the Company paid off the approximately $ 0.9 million mortgage note on the Property to its lender. The Company used the remaining proceeds to repay its borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility, for strategic investments, and for general corporate needs. Concurrent with the sale of the Property, the Company entered into a fifteen -year lease agreement (the “Lease Agreement”), whereby the Company leases back the Property at an annual rental rate of approximately $ 0.8 million, subject to annual rent increases of 2.0 %. Under the Lease Agreement, the Company has four consecutive options to extend the term of the lease by five years for each such option.
In accordance with ASC 842, Leases , this transaction was recorded as a failed sale and leaseback as the present value of lease payments exceeded substantially the fair value of the underlying assets. The Company utilized an incremental borrowing rate of 8.0 % to determine the finance obligation to record for the amounts received and will continue to depreciate the assets. The current portion of the finance obligation of $ 0.2 million is recognized in current maturities of long-term debt and the long-term portion of $ 8.7 million is recognized in long-term finance obligation on the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of April 30, 2025 .

Note 13 - Fair value
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are considered reasonable estimates of fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying amount of the Company's short-term debt, revolving lines of credit and long-term debt approximate fair value because the majority of the amounts outstanding accrue interest at variable market rates.
Note 14 - Recent accounting pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023 - 09, Income Taxes ( Topic 740 ): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures . Pursuant to this standard update, companies are required to provide additional information, which is primarily attributable to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The standard update is to be applied prospectively, with retrospective application permitted. The new income tax disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is still evaluating this standard update but does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
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 . In accordance with this standard update, companies are required to disclose specified information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to the financial statements at each interim and annual reporting period. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Note 15 - Noncontrolling interest
On June 1, 2023, the Company closed on its formation of a joint venture (the "JV", and the agreement governing the JV, the "JV Agreement") with Gulf Insulation Group ("GIG"), a leading provider of pre-insulated piping systems and pipe fabrication, in which the Company acquired a 60 % controlling financial interest and contributed assets consisting of a building and equipment. The JV is a limited liability company named Perma Pipe Gulf Arabia Industry LLC and is a closed joint stock company established under the laws of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The JV's capital is comprised of ordinary shares with 60 % owned by the Company and the remaining 40 % owned by GIG. The Company expects this collaborative business arrangement to result in expanding its market presence in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Bahrain. The primary business activities of the JV include the manufacture and sale of the pre-insulated piping systems and pipe coating services.
The balance sheets and operating activities of this investment are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. As of April 30, 2025 , t he carrying amount of the assets and liabilities of the JV that are consolidated by the Company totaled $ 39.6 million and $ 20.6 million, respectively, and $ 39.1 million and $ 22.1 million, respectively, as of January 31, 2025 .
The Company adjusts net income in the consolidated statements of operations to exclude the proportionate share of results that is attributable to the non-controlling interest. Additionally, the Company presents the proportionate share that is attributable to the non-controlling interest as temporary equity within the consolidated balance sheets. This temporary equity presentation is the result of the non-controlling interest being subject to certain redemption rights that are not entirely within the Company's control. Due to these redemption rights, at each balance sheet date, the Company is required to adjust the carrying value attributable to the non-controlling interest to fair value, which is limited to its original carrying value at the formation of the business arrangement. Adjustments made to reflect the change in the value of the redeemable non-controlling interest are offset against permanent equity within the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
Net income attributable to GIG was $ 0.9 million and $ 0.3 million for the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024 , respectively. The proportionate share of net income was accounted for as a reduction in deriving net income attributable to common stock in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.
The non-controlling interest as measured at fair value was $ 12.2 million and $ 11.0 million at April 30, 2025 and January 31, 2025 , respectively. The change in non-controlling interest consists of $ 0.9 million in current year net income attributable to non-controlling interest, and approximately $ 0.4 million as an adjustment to the carrying value of the redeemable non-controlling interest pertaining to the business arrangement. In addition, there were no dividends or any other form of distributions from non-controlling interest for the periods ended April 30, 2025 and January 31, 2025 .

1.1 million and $
1.2 million in the
three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Income tax expense:
The Company's ETR was 21% and 30% in the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The change in the ETR is due to the mix of income and loss in various jurisdictions.

Net income attributable to common stock:
Net income attributable to common stock was $5.0 million and $1.4 million in the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024 , respectively. The increase of $3.6 million, was mainly due to increased sales volumes and better project execution in the quarter.

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $ 0.7 million and $(0.1) million in the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024 , respectively. The increase of $ 0.8 million was primarily attributable to changes in inventories, customer deposits, prepaid expenses and other current assets and net income, partially offset by changes to accounts receivable and unbilled accounts receivable.
Net cash used in investing activities in the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024 was $0.9 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The increase of $0.3 million was primarily due to a greater amount of capital expenditures in the quarter.
Net cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024 was $ 3.2 million and $ 2.6 million, respectively. Debt totaled $ 27.9 million and $ 24.5 million as of April 30, 2025 and January 31, 2025 , respectively.

Egypt
In June 2021, and as renewed or amended subsequently thereafter, the Company's Egyptian subsidiary entered into a credit arrangement with a bank in Egypt for a revolving line of
100.0
million Egyptian Pounds (approximately $
2.0
million at
April 30, 2025
). This credit arrangement is in the form of project financing, for which the line is secured by certain assets (such as accounts receivable) of the Company's Egyptian subsidiary. Among other covenants, the credit arrangement established a maximum leverage ratio allowable and restricted the Company's Egyptian subsidiary's ability to undertake any additional debt. As of
April 30, 2025
, the facility has an interest rate of approximately
20.8%
and expires in November 2025. As of April 30, 2025 and January 31, 2025, the Company had an immaterial amount outstanding, which is presented as a component of current maturities of long-term debt in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Further, as of
April 30, 2025
and

37.0
million Saudi Riyals (approximately $
9.9
million at
April 30, 2025
). This credit arrangement is in the form of project financing at rates competitive in Saudi Arabia. The line is secured by certain assets (such as accounts receivable) of the Company's Saudi Arabian subsidiary, and expired in May 2025. The Company is in the process of renewing this credit arrangement with substantially the same terms and conditions and is in regular communication with the bank throughout this process ensuring the facility continues without interruption or penalty.

The lines are secured by certain equipment, certain assets (such as accounts receivable and inventory), and in some cases, a guarantee by the Company. Some credit arrangement covenants require a minimum tangible net worth to be maintained, including maintaining certain levels of intercompany subordinated debt. In addition, some of the revolving credit facilities restrict payment of dividends or undertaking of additional debt. The Company guarantees only a portion of the subsidiaries' debt, including foreign debt. As of
April 30, 2025 and January 31, 2025 , the amount of foreign subsidiary debt guaranteed by the Company was approxim

7.5% to
20.8%, with a weighted average rate of
8.4%, and the Company had facility limits totaling
$31.8
million under these credit arrangements.
As of
April 30, 2025
,
$16.6 million
o
f availability was used to support letters of credit to guarantee amounts committed for inventory purchases and for performance guarantees. Additionally, as of

as of April 30, 2025 and January 31, 2025.
In June 2023, the Company assumed a promissory note of approximately $2.8 million in connection with the formation of the joint venture with Gulf Insulation Group
(see Note 15). I n accordance with the promissory note, all principal is due and payable on the maturity date of April 9, 2026, with the option to prepay, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the maturity date, without premium or penalty.

April 30, 2025, the remaining balance on the mortgage in Canada is approximately CAD
5.7 million (approximately $
4.1 million at
April 30, 2025). The interest rate is variable, and was
6.8%
at
April 30, 2025. The principal balance is included as a component of long-term debt, less current maturities in the Company's consolidated balance sheets and is presented net of issuance costs of $0.1 million
as of April 30, 2025 and January 31, 2025.
Finance obligation - buildings and land.
On April 14, 2021, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement, pursuant to which the Company sold its land and buildings in Lebanon, Tennessee (the "Property") for $10.4 million. The transaction generated net cash proceeds of $9.1 million. Concurrently with the sale, the Company paid off the approximately $0.9 million mortgage note on the Property to its lender. The Company used the remaining proceeds to repay its borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility, for strategic investments, and for general corporate needs. Concurrent with the sale of the Property, the Company entered into a fifteen-year lease agreement (the “Lease Agreement”), whereby the Company leases back the Property at an annual rental rate of approximately $0.8 million, subject to annual rent increases of 2.0%. Under the Lease Agreement, the Company has four consecutive options to extend the term of the lease by five years for each such option.
In accordance with ASC 842, Leases , this transaction was recorded as a failed sale and leaseback as the present value of lease payments exceeded substantially the fair value of the underlying assets. The Company utilized an incremental borrowing rate of 8.0% to determine the finance obligation to record for the amounts received and will continue to depreciate the assets. The current portion of the finance obligation of $0.2 million is recognized in current maturities of long-term debt and the long-term portion of $8.7 million is recognized in long-term finance obligation on the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of April 30, 2025
. The net carrying amount of the financial liability and remaining assets will be zero at the end of the lease term.

Accounts receivable:
In 2015, the Company completed a project in the Middle East with billings in the aggregate amount of approximately $41.9 million. The system has not yet been commissioned by the customer. Nevertheless, the Company has received approximately $
40.7 million as of
April 30, 2025, with a remaining balance due in the amount of $
1.2 million, all of which pertains to retention clauses within the agreements with the Company's customer, and which become payable by the customer when this project is fully tested and commissioned. Of this amount, $
1.2 million is classified in other
long-term assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
The Company has been actively involved in ongoing efforts to collect this outstanding balance. The Company continues to engage with the customer to ensure full payment of the open balances, and during the
three months ended April 30, 2025, and at various times throughout 2024, the Company received partial payments to settle $
0.6 million and $
0.3 million, respectively, of the customer's outstanding balances. Further, the Company has been engaged by the customer to perform additional work in 2024 under customary trade terms that support the continued cooperation between the Company and the customer. As a result, the Company did not reserve any allowance against the remaining outstanding balances as of
April 30, 2025. However, if the Company's efforts to collect on this account are not successful, the Company may recognize an allowance for all, or substantially all, of any such then uncollected amounts.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Critical accounting policies are described in Item 7. MD&A and in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended January 31, 2025 contained in the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. Any new accounting policies or updates to existing accounting policies as a result of new accounting pronouncements have been discussed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The application of critical accounting policies may require management to make assumptions, judgments and estimates about the amounts reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management uses historical experience and all available information to make these estimates and judgments, and different amounts could be reported using different assumptions and estimates.

Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of April 30, 2025. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports the Company 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, and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of April 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, as described below.
The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. As required by Rule 13a-15(c) under the Exchange Act, the Company's management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2025. The framework on which such evaluation was based is contained in the report entitled "Internal Control-Integrated Framework" (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Based on management's evaluation, management has concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2025, due to the material weaknesses identified below.
Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The material weaknesses are as follows:
•
We did not design and maintain effective controls in response to the risks of material misstatement. Specifically, changes to existing controls or the implementation of new controls have not been sufficient to respond to changes to the risks of material misstatement in financial reporting. This contributed to the following material weaknesses;
•
We did not design and maintain effective certain controls over financial reporting relating to the review and approval of manual journal entries, review of the financial close process, including the statement of cash flows, and review of certain financial policies and procedures;
•
We did not design and maintain effective controls at operating locations in the Middle East and North Africa ("MENA"), including not maintaining sufficient documentation to support an evaluation that controls over business processes were designed and operating effectively;
These material weaknesses resulted in adjustments to property, plant, and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, trade accounts payable, trade accounts receivable, and the statement of cash flows. These adjustments resulted in a revision of the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended April 30, 2024, a restatement as of and for the period ended July 31, 2024 and material adjustments as of and for the period ended October 31, 2024.
•
We did not design and maintain effective controls over information technology general controls ("ITGCs"), specifically controls over the timely review of user access and administrative access to adequately restrict access, program change management, computer operations, and program development;
•
We did not design and maintain effective controls over managements review of the completeness and accuracy of certain system-generated reports.
These material weaknesses did not result in a misstatement to the Company's annual or interim financial statements.
Each of these material weaknesses could result in a material misstatement of substantially all accounts and disclosures in the Company's annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Remediation Plan for the Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
To address these matters, the Company has begun implementing its remediation plan. Our ongoing remediation plans include the following:
(i) performing an entity wide risk assessment to identify relevant risks and changes to those relevant risks to our financial reporting; ii) designing and implementing controls to identify and evaluate changes in our business and the impact on our internal control over financial reporting; (iii) engaging outside consultants with expertise relating to ITGCs to document processes, assist in addressing the design and operating ITGCs, monitoring and testing reviews focusing on systems supporting our financial reporting process (iv) designing and maintaining controls and documentation evidencing those ITGCs for knowledge transfer and function changes, including access and program control and change management, computer operations, and program development, (v) designing and maintaining effective controls to review the completeness and accuracy of certain system-generated reports; and (vi) outsourcing certain functions to third-party providers, specifically relating to servers and firewalls, and managed detection and response.
Our remediation plans related to entity level controls, financial reporting controls, and business process controls include:
(i) enhancing the design of controls for the review of and posting of journal entries; (ii) evaluating and updating documented formal accounting policies, financial reporting, processes and procedures; and overall internal control procedures; and (iii) updating the design of controls for the preparation and review of the financial close process, including the statement of cash flows.
In addition to the items noted above, our remediation plans related to our MENA locations include: (i) evaluating and updating the Company's evidence of internal control policies and procedures; (ii) enhancing the design of controls over business processes that are relevant to our MENA locations; and (iii) formalizing our financial reporting processes and procedures.
The Company anticipates the actions described above will strengthen the Company's internal control over financial reporting and will address the related material weaknesses described above. However, the material weaknesses cannot be considered fully remediated until the necessary controls have been appropriately designed and implemented. The remediation processes and procedures will also need to be in operation for a period of time and management conclude through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting . There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting which were identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) under the Exchange during the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
