Fiscal period ending 2025-12-31 versus 2024-12-31

Risk profile deteriorated across three reinforcing themes: a materially leveraged balance sheet (debt up 22.7%, liquidity down 21.5%) combined with a substantially expanded AI-driven threat surface and new regulatory exposure under the EU AI Act and government-contract compliance regimes. The technology and cybersecurity posture is the most broadly worsened dimension, with newly disclosed AI dependency, IP ownership uncertainty, and an escalated threat landscape spanning credential compromise, deepfakes, and supply-chain vulnerabilities. Together, these shifts represent a real, substantive worsening of the overall risk picture, though no solvency or going-concern signal is present.

Our technology is important to our success, and our failure to protect this technology could put us at a competitive disadvantage. Many of our products and services rely on proprietary technology…
Revised
Added disclosure of specialized compliance obligations, audits, investigations, and bid delays/cost increases for government contracts—new material operational and financial risks.
Our operating results could be adversely affected by a reduction in business with our large customers. In some of our businesses, we derive a significant amount of revenue from large customers. The…

AI regulatory compliance
New
New disclosure of material AI regulatory risk: EU AI Act and state laws may restrict product features, require redesign, increase compliance costs, and limit data use—substantive operational and financial impacts.
Regulation limiting or controlling the use of AI may restrict our ability to use AI, our ability to create new products, and create increased compliance costs. We are subject to an evolving landscape…
AI cybersecurity escalation
Revised
New specific threats disclosed: credential compromise, AI-powered attacks, deepfakes, zero-day vulnerabilities, supply chain risks, and open-source component vulnerabilities. Escalates threat landscape materially.
We rely on information and technology, including third-party cloud computing platforms and other third-party business partners, for many of our business operations which could fail and cause…
