We have financed our operations primarily through cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2026, we had cash of $3.2 million compared to $2.9 million at December 31, 2025.

Previous wording

Our principal internal sources of liquidity are cash, as well as the cash flow that we generate from our operations. In addition, we had $38.0 million in borrowing capacity under our $70.0 million Credit Agreement, as defined below, at June 30, 2026. Under our Credit Agreement, as defined below, we are subject to certain availability limits including our consolidated leverage ratio. We believe that our existing cash, cash generated from our continuing operations and available borrowings under our Credit Agreement will be sufficient to satisfy our currently anticipated cash requirements through at least the next 12 months and the foreseeable future thereafter. However, it is possible that one or more lenders under our Credit Agreement may refuse or be unable to satisfy their commitment to lend to us, we may violate one or more of our covenants or financial ratios contained in our Credit Agreement or we may need to refinance our debt and be unable to do so. In addition, our liquidity could be negatively affected by a decrease in demand for our products and services and the ability of our customers to pay for current or future services. We may also make acquisitions and may need to raise additional capital through future debt financings or equity offerings to the extent necessary to fund such acquisitions, which we may not be able to do on a timely basis or on terms satisfactory to us or at all.

Cash flows from operating activities primarily consist of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation, amortization, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities, stock-based compensation, income from equity method investments, impairments, and the effect of changes in working capital. Net cash flows from operating activities were $14.5 million and $9.1 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Cash inflow from operations is driven by earnings and is dependent on the amount and timing of payments to vendors and employees and billings to and cash collections from our customers. Cash provided by operating activities during the 2026 period increased $5.4 million compared to the same period of 2025 due to lower compensation related costs, partially offset by lower cash collections from customers.

In April 2026, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), which provides for a revolving loan facility of $70 million with an expansion option of $37.5 million, bringing the total facility to $107.5 million, as permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement.
