• Full-Year 2025 Financial Results

  Revenue increased 11.9% to $1.057 billion, and Adjusted EBITDA grew 9.7% to $436.0 million. However, GAAP net income plummeted 94.6% to $1.7 million, resulting in $0.00 basic EPS, primarily due to acquisition-related expenses.

• EvolutionIQ Acquisition Details

  The company completed the acquisition of EvolutionIQ in January 2025 for $674.3 million (62.4% cash, 37.6% stock). This strategic move expanded AI solutions but contributed to a pretax loss of $89.2 million in 2025 for EvolutionIQ due to stock-based compensation and amortization.

• Significant Debt Increase and Refinancing

  Total debt outstanding rose to $1.291 billion as of December 31, 2025, up from $776.0 million in 2024. This increase was partially used to fund the EvolutionIQ acquisition and a share repurchase program, with multiple amendments to credit agreements extending maturities and adjusting interest rates.

• Share Repurchase Program Execution

  The company executed $300 million of its $500 million 2025 share repurchase program through an Accelerated Share Repurchase (ASR) in December 2025, retiring 33.2 million shares. $200 million remains authorized under the program.

This annual report provides comprehensive audited financial results for 2025, confirming strong revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth, but also revealing a significant drop in GAAP net income. The detailed disclosure of the $674.3 million EvolutionIQ acquisition, including its short-term dilutive impact on GAAP earnings, and the substantial increase in total debt to fund both the acquisition and a large share repurchase program, are key takeaways. Investors should weigh the company's operational strength and capital return against the increased leverage and the sharp decline in reported GAAP profitability.
