Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The term “disclosure controls and procedures” is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as “controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.” The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries is accumulated and communicated to its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the Company disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
The Company’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2025. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms as of that date.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Due to its inherent limitations, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud. Effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on the criteria established by the Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (the “COSO Framework”). A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Management has concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on the criteria established by the COSO Framework.
Remediation of Previously Reported Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As previously disclosed in Part II, Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and in Part I, Item 4. “Controls and Procedures” in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2025, June 30, 2025, and September 30, 2025, as of those dates, the Company did not design and maintain effective controls and identified material weaknesses in the control environment and certain control activities. These material weaknesses have been remediated as described below.
The Company is committed to supporting a strong culture of internal controls by designing, implementing and maintaining internal controls over financial reporting to maintain a strong internal control environment. To remediate the identified material weaknesses in internal control discussed above, management, with the oversight of the Audit Committee, took the following actions:
The Company developed and presented a training program educating control owners concerning financial statement risk and principles of the COSO Framework, and invested in additional training opportunities related to the COSO Framework;
The Company’s internal control department specifically focused on oversight of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting through the establishment of structures, reporting lines, and appropriate authorities and responsibilities for professionals within the Company;
The Company designed and implemented controls related to billing and revenue recognition of its revenue contracts, in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This included a combination of manual and automated controls as the Company has increased and is continuing to increase the use of automated controls to help mitigate the risk associated with manual intervention and human error.
The Company hired qualified personnel with specialized skill sets to further bolster the Company’s ability to provide an appropriate level of oversight activities related to internal control over financial reporting. These personnel have significantly contributed to the remediation of the previously disclosed material weakness in control activities.
The Company completed the testing of the design and operating effectiveness of the internal controls and, based on the results of this testing, as of December 31, 2025, the Company concluded that the controls are adequately designed, implemented and have operated effectively for a sufficient period of time to remediate the previously reported material weaknesses.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the remediation activities discussed above, there have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
