−Removed: When evaluating goodwill for impairment, we first assess qualitative factors which could include, but are not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, overall company financial performance and events affecting the reporting units or the Company as a whole.
−Removed: If the financial performance of our Secure Networks reporting segment remains at the current level for a sustained period of time, and after considering other qualitative factors, there may be a triggering event indicating goodwill may be impaired in our Secure Networks reporting unit.
−Removed: Accordingly, management may need to perform a quantitative impairment test over the Secure Networks reporting unit to determine if an impairment loss should be recorded, which may have an adverse impact on our results of operations.
−Removed: Based on the result of our interim qualitative assessment, we determined that it is more-likely-than-not that the estimated fair value of the reporting units exceeds their carrying value and thus, no impairment charges were taken during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
−Removed: Other critical accounting policies and estimates include revenue recognition, goodwill and long-lived assets, and income taxes, as discussed in our 2024 Form 10-K.
−Removed: There have been no changes to these critical accounting policies and estimates that have had a material impact on our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
