Dividends
We did not declare or pay any dividends during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, or 2023. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our results of operations, earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, future prospects, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. In addition, our ability to pay dividends is limited by the terms of the Credit Agreement. Refer to “Note 8: Debt ” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding our debt agreements. Therefore, investors should not rely on regular quarterly or annual dividend income from shares of our common stock and investors should not rely on special dividends with any regularity, or at all. Investors should rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize future gains on their investments.
