This 10-Q provides the final financial update for Cantaloupe, Inc. before its expected acquisition by 365 Retail Markets, LLC. The filing confirms the termination of the HSR Act waiting period on May 1, 2026, and reiterates the expectation for the merger to close around May 8, 2026. While the company reported a net loss for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2026, this was largely influenced by $5.2 million in merger, acquisition, and integration expenses for the quarter and $16.2 million for the nine-month period, as well as the absence of a significant tax benefit recognized in the prior year. Despite the net loss, the company demonstrated revenue growth, with total revenues increasing by 4.3% for the quarter and 8.3% for the nine months, driven by subscription and transaction fees. Net cash provided by operating activities also significantly improved to $22.0 million for the nine months, up from $10.9 million in the prior year. The stock is currently trading very close to the $11.20 per share acquisition price, indicating high market confidence in the deal's completion.
