We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, certain non-recurring professional fees and other expenses as part of our transition to a public company. As a public company, we are implementing additional procedures and processes for the purpose of addressing the standards and requirements applicable to public companies, for which we expect to incur additional recurring expenses. In particular, our accounting, legal and personnel-related expenses and directors’ and officers’ insurance costs have increased as we establish more comprehensive compliance and governance functions, establish, maintain and review internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and prepare and distribute periodic reports in accordance with SEC rules. Our financial statements following the IPO have reflected and will continue to reflect the impact of these expenses. See “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Management and Employees—The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, increase our costs, divert management’s attention, and affect our ability to attract and retain executive management and qualified board members” in our 2024 Form 10-K.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, further adjusted for certain non-cash items that we may record each period, as well as non-recurring items such as acquisition costs, integration and severance costs, refinancing fees, business transformation costs and other discrete expenses, when applicable. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are important metrics for management and investors as they remove the impact of items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating results or the overall health of our company and allows for consistent comparison of our operating results over time and relative to our peers.

Selling, general and administrative expense. SG&A expense was $140.5 million and $108.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and was 4.7% and 4.2% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $31.6 million increase in SG&A expense was primarily due to a $12.0 million increase in personnel costs and a $4.0 million increase in professional fees largely attributable to our transition to a public company, in addition to $5.9 million in stock compensation expense and a $3.5 million loss on disposals in the current period with no similar charges incurred in the prior year period, and a one time legal settlement in the prior year period with a benefit of $4.0 million.
Current wording
Selling, general and administrative expense. SG&A expense was $60.9 million and $62.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and was 4.1% and 5.1% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $2.0 million decrease in SG&A expense was primarily due to a decline of $5.6 million in professional services fees incurred year over year, in advance of the company’s initial public offering on October 2, 2024, as well as a $3.6 million insurance recovery which was recognized in the current period. Partially offsetting these favorable items was $4.1 million in stock compensation expense with no similar charge incurred in the prior year period, and a $3.3 million increase in personnel costs largely attributable to our transition to a public company.

Current wording
Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets was $24.9 million and $24.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase of $0.9 million, or 3.8%, was primarily driven by the intangible assets allocated to customer relationships resulting from the Aero Turbine acquisition on August 23, 2024. Due to the timing of the Aero Turbine acquisition, there was lower impact on total amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024, due to the timing of the transaction.

Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $34.2 million or 43.8% from $78.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to $43.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease in interest expense was largely driven by (i) the repayment of the Prior Senior Notes in full on October 3, 2024 concurrent with the Company’s IPO, and (ii) entrance into the New Credit Agreement on October 31, 2024 providing for the New 2024 Term Loan Facilities and the New 2024 Revolving Credit Facility and the use of the proceeds to repay in full amounts outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement and the Prior ABL Credit Agreement, terminating each of the debt facilities thereunder, and resulting in a weighted average interest rate of borrowings for the three months ended June 30, 2025 of 6.8% compared to 8.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” for further discussion of our debt and financing activities.

Income tax expense. Income tax expense was $46.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $37.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This was an increase $8.3 million, or 22.0%. This increase in tax expense was due to the mix of forecasted earnings, which in 2025 resulted in full year forecasted U.S. pre-tax income, as opposed to a U.S. forecasted pre-tax loss in 2024. Additionally, year to date income before taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased to $176.9 million as compared to $46.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The tax expense, and corresponding effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were higher than the statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the GILTI provision which was enacted in 2017 as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Further, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, the partial valuation allowance recorded against our interest expense carryforward deferred tax asset under Section 163(j) of the Internal Revenue Code was also a driver of the effective tax rate exceeding the statutory rate.
Current wording
Income tax expense. The incremental income tax expense was $24.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This was an increase of $24.5 million. This increase in tax expense was due primarily to the increase in the three months ended pretax income which was $92.8M at September 30, 2025 compared to $16.6 million at September 30, 2024, which is an increase of $76.2 million. Additionally, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, the tax expense recorded was only $0.2 million. This was due to the estimated annual effective tax rate going from 81.5% in the three months ended June 30, 2024 to 60.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2024 which was driven by the reduction of the forecasted valuation allowance on US interest expense limitation (IRC 163(j)). The tax expense, and corresponding effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, were higher than the statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the Global Intangible Low-taxed Income (“GILTI”) provision which was enacted in 2017 as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Further, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, the partial valuation allowance recorded against our interest expense carryforward deferred tax asset under Section 163(j) of the Internal Revenue Code also was a driver of the effective tax rate exceeding the statutory rate.
