Fiscal period ending 2025-12-31 versus 2024-12-31 — view filing on EDGAR →
Risk across macro, balance sheet, and operational dimensions deteriorated broadly, with no offsetting easings.

Cybersecurity and tax compliance risks added further incremental pressure, though neither is acute in isolation.
