• Material Weakness Disclosed

  Management concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2026, due to a material weakness in IT general controls and closing processes. Remediation is ongoing and expected to be completed in 2026.

• Q2 Net Loss of $3.9M

  The net loss widened to $3.9 million from $1.6 million a year ago. Operating revenue fell 5.3% to $109.4 million, driven by reduced capacity in the Subhaulers segment and higher fuel, insurance, and truck expenses.

• Class Action Settlement

  A settlement in principle was reached for up to $4.0 million in a New Jersey independent contractor misclassification class action against Tribeca. The company is entitled to indemnification of up to $2.5 million from the sellers.

• Hansen & Adkins Acquisition Closed

  The $130 million acquisition of Hansen & Adkins closed on August 13, 2026, funded by $75 million in convertible notes and existing credit facilities. The transaction adds significant debt and integration risk.
