Item 1A. Risk Factors

Please carefully consider the information set forth in this Quarterly Report and the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report, as well as other risks and uncertainties, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition, which in turn could materially and adversely affect the trading price of shares of our common stock. Except as set forth below, there have been no material updates or changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report; provided, however, additional risks not currently known or currently material to us may also harm our business.

Cash expenditures associated with the acquisition of Pro-ficiency may create certain liquidity and cash flow risks for us.

As consideration for the acquisition of Pro-ficiency, at closing on June 11, 2024 we paid approximately $100 million in cash to the previous equity holders of Pro-ficiency, which constituted a significant portion of our cash reserves as of the closing date. In addition to the acquisition consideration, we incurred significant transaction costs and expect to incur additional integration costs in connection with the acquisition. While we anticipated that the closing consideration and transactions costs would be incurred, there are many factors beyond our control that could affect the total amount of the integration expenses associated with the acquisition. Moreover, many of the expenses that will be incurred are, by their nature, difficult to estimate accurately. To the extent the integration expenses are higher than anticipated, we may experience liquidity or cash flow issues.

Pro-ficiency and its operating subsidiaries may not perform as we or the market expects, which could have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock.

Pro-ficiency, which is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and its operating subsidiaries may not perform as we or the market expects. Risks associated with the Pro-ficiency acquisition include, without limitation:

integrating businesses is a difficult, expensive, and time-consuming process, and the failure to successfully integrate our businesses with the business of Pro-ficiency in the expected time frame could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operation;

the addition of Pro-ficiency has increased the size of our operations, and, if we are not able to manage our expanded operations effectively, our common stock price may be adversely affected;

the extent to which we may realize the expected synergies and cost savings is uncertain at this time; and

the success of the Pro-ficiency acquisition will also depend upon relationships with third parties and Pro-ficiency’s and our pre-existing customers, which relationships may be affected by customer preferences or public attitudes about the Pro-ficiency acquisition. Any adverse changes in these relationships could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
