Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Debt with Conversion and Other Options
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments, which seeks to clarify the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance on April 1, 2026, which did not have any material effect on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.
Measurement of Credit Losses
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient that all entities can use when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under this practical expedient, an entity is allowed to assume that the current conditions it has applied in determining credit loss allowances for current accounts receivable and current contract assets remain unchanged for the remaining life of those assets. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance on April 1, 2026, which did not have any material effect on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

Disclosure Improvements
In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. This standard was issued in response to the SEC’s disclosure update and simplification initiative, which affects a variety of topics within the Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected topics unless otherwise indicated. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited.

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“DISE”) (Subtopic 220-40). This standard requires the Company to disclose, in the footnotes at each interim and annual reporting period, information about expenses by the nature of the expense in addition to certain disclosures about selling expenses. Entities are required to include the following relevant expense captions: (i) purchase of inventory, (ii) employee compensation, (iii) depreciation, (iv) intangible asset amortization, and (v) depreciation, depletion and amortization recognized as part of oil and gas producing activities. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) Clarifying the Effective Date, which is intended to clarify the effective date of ASU No. 2024-03. As clarified in ASU 2025-01, the new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial statement disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which amends the recognition and disclosure guidance for internal-use software costs, removing the previous software development stage model with a probable-to-complete recognition threshold. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial statements and disclosures.
Interim Reporting
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270) Narrow-Scope Improvements, which improves the navigability of the guidance in ASC 270, Interim Reporting, and clarifies when it applies. Under this guidance, an entity is subject to ASC 270 if it provides interim financial statements and notes in accordance with GAAP. ASU 2025-11 also addresses the form and content of such financial statements, interim disclosures requirements, and establishes a principle under which an entity must disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial statements and disclosures.
Codification Improvements
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements, which addresses suggestions received from stakeholders regarding the Accounting Standards Codification and makes other incremental improvements to GAAP. The update represents changes to the Accounting Standards Codification that clarify, correct errors in or make other improvements to a variety of topics that are intended to make it easier to understand and apply. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted.

The Term Loans were repaid during the year ended March 31, 2024. The lenders have a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company.
On August 6, 2026, the Company entered into a ninth amendment to the Credit Facility, which among other things, (i) extended the maturity date from December 12, 2028 to August 4, 2031; provided, that if any of the Convertible Notes (as defined below) remain outstanding (or were redeemed, repurchased, converted, or otherwise retired other than pursuant to one or more cashless (except for payments in cash for fees, expenses, and to avoid fractional shares not to exceed $250,000 in the aggregate) transactions) on the date that isninety-one (91) days prior to the then-current stated maturity of the Convertible Notes, and such date is earlier than August 4, 2031, then the Credit Facility shall mature on such earlier date, (ii) amended the definition of consolidated EBITDA, and (iii) amended the definition of suppressed availability.

Unless and until the Company delivers a redemption notice, the Purchasers of the Convertible Notes may convert their Convertible Notes at any time at their option. Upon conversion, the Convertible Notes will be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company may redeem all or part of the Convertible Notes for a cash purchase (the “Company Redemption”) price. The effective interest rate was 18.3% as of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively.

In connection with the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into common stock warrants (the “Warrants”) with the Purchasers, which mature on March 30, 2029. The fair value of the Warrants, using Level 3 inputs and the Monte Carlo simulation model, waszero at June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026.
The Company Redemption option has been combined with the Conversion Option as a compound net derivative liability (the “Compound Net Derivative Liability”). The Compound Net Derivative Liability has been recorded within convertible note, related party in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026. The fair value of the Conversion Option and the Company Redemption option using Level 3 inputs and the Monte Carlo simulation model was a liability of $20,600,000 and $16,900,000, and an asset of $12,720,000 and $10,560,000 at June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively.

| Total interest expense on Convertible Notes | $1,454,000 | $1,294,000 |

The Company is not a party to agreements negotiated between participating suppliers and the financial institution. The Company's obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and payment terms, are not affected by a supplier's decision to participate in this program.

- Net (Loss) Income per Share
Basic net (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net (loss) income per share includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as stock options, Warrants, and Convertible Notes (as defined in Note 7), which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock to the extent such impact is not anti-dilutive. Potential common shares that would have the effect of increasing diluted net income per share or decreasing diluted net loss per share are considered to be anti-dilutive and as such, these shares are not included in calculating diluted net (loss) income per share.
The following presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per share:
| Three Months EndedJune 30, | ||

- Income Taxes
The Company recorded income tax expense of $3,369,000, or an effective tax rate of (33.5)%, and $2,425,000, or an effective tax rate of 44.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily impacted by the change in valuation allowance on certain jurisdictions' deferred tax assets resulting from current year activities and foreign income taxed at rates that are different from the federal statutory rate.
Management continues to monitor its valuation allowance position in its various jurisdictions. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers all positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, past financial performance, and tax planning strategies. Based on this analysis, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that certain deferred tax assets will not be realized. As a result, the Company continued to maintain valuation allowances on its U.S., one of its Mexican subsidiaries’, and one of its Canadian subsidiaries’ deferred tax assets. The Company will monitor its position in future periods. Should the actual amount differ from the Company’s estimates, the amount of any valuation allowance could be impacted.
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns for the U.S. federal, various state, and foreign jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. At June 30, 2026, the Company remains subject to examination for fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and forward. At June 30, 2026, the Company continues to be under examination in the U.S. by the Internal Revenue Service for fiscal year 2024. The Company is not under examination in any another jurisdiction. The Company believes no significant changes in the unrecognized tax benefits will occur within the next 12 months.
- Financial Risk Management and Derivatives
Purchases and expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, which are primarily related to the Company’s overseas facilities, expose the Company to market risk from material movements in foreign exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the foreign currencies. The Company’s primary risk exposure is from fluctuations in the value of the Mexican peso and to a lesser extent the Chinese yuan. To mitigate these risks, the Company enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to exchange U.S. dollars for these foreign currencies. The extent to which forward foreign currency exchange contracts are used, is modified periodically in response to the Company’s estimate of market conditions and the terms and length of anticipated requirements.
The Company enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts in order to reduce the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and not to engage in currency speculation. The use of derivative financial instruments allows the Company to reduce its exposure to the risk that the eventual cash outflow resulting from funding the expenses of the foreign operations will be materially affected by changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the foreign currencies. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. The Company designates forward foreign currency exchange contracts for forecasted expenditure requirements to fund foreign operations.
The Company had forward foreign currency exchange contracts with a U.S. dollar equivalent notional value of $44,085,000 and $43,076,000 at June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively. These contracts generally have a term ofone year or less, at rates agreed at the inception of the contracts. The counterparty to these derivative transactions is a major financial institution with investment grade credit rating; however, the Company is exposed to credit risk with this institution. The credit risk is limited to the potential unrealized gains (which offset currency fluctuations adverse to the Company) in any such contract should this counterparty fail to perform as contracted. Any changes in the fair values of forward foreign currency exchange contracts are included in foreign exchange impact of lease liabilities and forward contracts in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The following shows the effect of derivative instruments on the condensed consolidated statements of operations:
| Foreign Exchange Impact of Lease Liabilities and Forward Contracts | ||
|---|---|---|
| Derivatives Not Designated as | Three Months EndedJune 30, | |
| Hedging Instruments | 2026 | 2025 |
| (Loss) gain from forward foreign currency exchange contracts | $(84,000) | $4,346,000 |
The changes in the fair values of forward foreign currency exchange contracts are included in foreign exchange impact of lease liabilities and forward contracts in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. The fair value of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts of $768,000 and $852,000 is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively.

Short-term Investments and Deferred Compensation
The Company’s short-term investments, which fund its deferred compensation liabilities, consist of investments in mutual funds. These investments are classified as Level 1 as the shares of these mutual funds trade with sufficient frequency and volume to enable the Company to obtain pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are primarily measured based on the foreign currency spot and forward rates quoted by the banks or foreign currency dealers (see Note 14).
Compound Net Derivative Liability
The Company estimates the fair value of the Compound Net Derivative Liability (see Note 7) using Level 3 inputs and the Monte Carlo simulation model at the balance sheet date. The Monte Carlo simulation model requires the input of subjective assumptions including the expected volatility of the underlying stock. These subjective assumptions are based on both historical and other information. Changes in the values assumed and used in the model can materially affect the estimate of fair value. This amount is recorded within convertible notes, related party in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026. Any changes in the fair value of the Compound Net Derivative Liability are recorded in change in fair value of compound net derivative liability in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
The following assumptions were used to determine the fair value of the Compound Net Derivative Liability:
| June 30, 2026 | March 31, 2026 | |
|---|---|---|
| Risk free interest rate | 4.15% | 3.81% |
| Cost of equity | 18.80% | 19.40% |
| Weighted average cost of capital | 14.70% | 12.80% |
| Expected volatility of the Company's common stock | 47.04% | 70.00% |
| EBITDA volatility | 40.00% | 40.00% |
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company had no significant measurements of assets or liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis subsequent to their initial recognition.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of the revolving loan and other long-term liabilities approximate their fair value based on the variable nature of interest rates and current rates for instruments with similar characteristics. At June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, the net carrying amount of the Convertible Notes was $44,795,000 and $38,993,000, respectively (see Note 7). The estimated fair value of the Company’s Convertible Notes was $54,192,000 and $50,363,000 using Level 3 inputs at June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively.

At June 30, 2026, there was $9,565,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to RSUs, which will be recognized over the weighted average remaining vesting period of approximately 2.5 years.
Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”)
During the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company granted 309,289 and 353,778 PSUs (at target performance levels), respectively, based on the Company’s stock price or a total shareholder return (“TSR”) market conditions. All PSUs granted have athree-year performance period, subject to continued employment.
Stock Price PSUs
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company granted 154,650 PSUs (at target performance levels), which vest as follows: (i) if the stock price is greater than or equal to $16.00 per share, then 1/3 of the grant will vest, (ii) if the stock price is greater than or equal to $18.00 per share then the next 1/3 of the grant will vest, and (iii) if the stock price is greater than or equal to $20.00 per share then the final 1/3 of the grant will vest. Recipients are eligible to vest in between 50% and 150% of the third tranche by achieving a stock price between $19.00 and $22.00 per share (each stock price target must be met forthirty consecutive trading days).
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company granted 176,893 PSUs (at target performance levels), which vest as follows: (i) if the stock price is greater than or equal to $15.00 per share, then 1/3 of the grant will vest, (ii) if the stock price is greater than or equal to $17.00 per share then the next 1/3 of the grant will vest, and (iii) if the stock price is greater than or equal to $20.00 per share then the final 1/3 of the grant will vest. Recipients are eligible to vest in between 50% and 150% of the third tranche by achieving a stock price between $18.00 and $22.00 per share (each stock price target must be met forthirty consecutive trading days).
The Company calculated the fair value of these PSUs individually for each tranche using the Monte Carlo Simulation Model at the grant date. Compensation cost is recognized over the estimated derived service period. Compensation cost related to these awards will not be adjusted even if the market condition is not met.
TSR PSUs
During the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company granted 154,639 and 176,885 PSUs (at target performance levels), respectively, which cliff vest and the number of shares earned at the end of thethree-year performance period will vary, based only on actual performance, from 0% to 150% of the target number of PSUs granted, depending on the Company’s TSR percentile rank relative to that of a peer group over the performance period. TSR is measured based on a comparison of the closing price on the first trading day of the performance period and the average closing price over the last 30 trading days of the performance period. TSR is considered a market condition because it measures the Company’s return against the performance of the Russell 3000, excluding companies classified as financials and real estate and companies with a market capitalization of more than $600 million, as of the start of the performance period. Compensation cost is determined at the grant date and recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period to the extent the conditions are deemed probable. Compensation cost related to the TSR award will not be adjusted even if the market condition is not met.
The fair value of PSUs subject to a market condition is determined using the Monte Carlo simulation model. The following table summarizes the assumptions used in determining the fair value of the awards subject to market conditions:
| Three Months EndedJune 30, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Risk free interest rate | 4.19% | 3.86% |
| Expected life in years | 0.1-3.0 | 0.7-3.0 |
| Expected volatility of the Company's common stock | 66.20% | 66.80% |

| Expected dividend yield | - | - |
| Grant date fair value | $13.90-20.09 | $7.33-12.68 |

In addition, government agencies and self-regulatory organizations have the ability to conduct periodic examinations of and administrative proceedings regarding the Company’s business, and its compliance with law, code, and regulations related to matters including, but not limited to, environmental, information security, taxes, levies, tariffs. In the opinion of management, such litigation is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
- Segment Information
The Company has identified its Chief Executive Officer as its chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The Company has identified its operating segments based on the nature of the products the Company sells, the Company’s organizational and management reporting structure, and the operating results that are regularly reviewed by the Company’s CODM to make decisions about the resources to be allocated to the business units and to assess performance. The CODM primarily uses operating income to evaluate the performance of the Company’s operating segments and to allocate resources.
The Company’sthree operating segments are:
