Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. The Company and Basis of Presentation

The Company

Aviat Networks, Inc. (“Aviat,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) designs and sells wireless transport and access networking solutions and services that enable mission-critical and business-critical communications networks. The Company serves mobile and fixed service providers, private network operators, utility and transportation companies, public safety organizations, government agencies, and other enterprise customers worldwide. Aviat’s products include broadband wireless access solutions, microwave networking systems, and related software and services used for network access, backhaul, trunking, and transport applications, supporting new network deployments, network expansion, and capacity upgrades.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information, and Aviat has made estimates, assumptions and judgments affecting the amounts reported in its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, as discussed in greater detail below. Accordingly, the statements do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, such interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of its financial position, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. The results for the three months ended October 2, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or future operating periods. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Aviat’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 3, 2026.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Certain amounts in the financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current period financial statement presentation.

Aviat’s fiscal year includes 52 or 53 weeks and ends on the Friday nearest to June 30. The three months ended October 2, 2026 and September 26, 2025 both consisted of 13 weeks. Fiscal year 2027 contains 52 weeks and will end on July 2, 2027. Fiscal year 2026 contained 53 weeks and ended on July 3, 2026.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates, assumptions and judgments affecting the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates are based upon historical factors, current circumstances and the experience and judgment of the Company’s management. The Company evaluates estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and may employ outside experts to assist in making these evaluations. Changes in such estimates, based on more accurate information, or different assumptions or conditions, may affect amounts reported in future periods. Such estimates affect significant items, including revenue recognition, provision for uncollectible receivables, inventory valuation, goodwill and identified intangible assets in business combinations, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, uncertainties in income taxes, contingencies and recoverability of long-lived assets. Actual results may differ materially from estimates.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as of and for the three months ended October 2, 2026, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 3, 2026.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU enhances the transparency and usefulness of income tax information through improvements to disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 became effective for the Company’s annual reporting beginning in fiscal 2026. The Company prospectively adopted ASU 2023-09 for the year ended July 3, 2026.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU expands reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly presented to the chief operating decision maker. The disclosures required under ASU 2023-07 are also required for public entities with a single reportable segment. ASU 2023-07 became effective for the Company’s annual reporting beginning in fiscal 2025 and for interim periods beginning in fiscal 2026. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 for the year ended June 27, 2025. The adoption of this standard does not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

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 modernizes the accounting for internal-use software. The ASU requires entities to consider whether significant development uncertainty has been resolved before starting to capitalize software costs. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and can be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or using a modified transition method, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The ASU requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting beginning in fiscal 2028 and for interim periods beginning in fiscal 2029. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs issued by the FASB. The Company determined at this time that all other ASUs issued but not yet adopted are either not applicable or are expected to have a minimal impact on its financial position and results of operations.

Note 3. Revenue Recognition

Contract Balances

(In thousands)October 2,2026July 3,2026
Contract assets
Accounts receivable, net$175,958$192,245
Unbilled receivables75,11582,125
Capitalized commissions2,2992,595
Contract liabilities
Advance payments and unearned revenue$55,960$59,943
Unearned revenue, long-term10,1489,017

Significant changes in contract balances may arise as a result of recognition over time for services, transfer of control for equipment, and periodic payments (both in arrears and in advance).

From time to time, the Company may experience unforeseen events that could result in a change to the scope or price associated with an arrangement. When such events occur, the transaction price and measurement of progress for the performance obligation are updated and this change is recognized as a cumulative catch-up to revenue. Because of the nature and type of contracts, the timeframe to completion and satisfaction of current and future performance obligations can shift; however, this will have no impact on the Company’s future obligation to bill and collect.

As of October 2, 2026, the Company reported $66.1 million in advance payments and unearned revenue and long-term unearned revenue, of which approximately 85% is expected to be recognized as revenue in the next twelve months and the remainder thereafter. Approximately $19.6 million of revenue was recognized during the three months ended October 2, 2026, which was included in advance payments and unearned revenue at July 3, 2026.

Remaining Performance Obligations

The aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations was approximately $131.4 million at October 2, 2026 relating to long-term field service projects. Of this amount, we expect to recognize approximately 50% as revenue during the next 12 months,45% during the next 12 to 24 months, and the remaining 5% to be recognized thereafter.

There is significant uncertainty regarding the timing of when remaining performance obligations will be recognized as revenue, and actual results may differ from current expectations. The timing and amount of revenue recognition may be impacted by a variety of factors, including project execution schedules, the timing of customer acceptance and deployment, site readiness, supply chain constraints, and production or delivery delays. In addition, remaining performance obligations are subject to change due to contract modifications, including scope changes or expansions, as well as potential customer cancellations or early terminations, which could affect both the timing and amount of revenue recognized in future periods.

Note 5. Fair Value Measurements of Assets and Liabilities

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market) for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs in measuring fair value and established a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the observable inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 — Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — Observable market-based inputs or observable inputs that are corroborated by market data; and

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The estimated fair values and valuation input levels of assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of October 2, 2026 and July 3, 2026 were as follows:

(In thousands)October 2, 2026July 3, 2026Valuation Inputs
Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents:
Money market funds$1,018$889Level 1
Bank certificates of deposit1,9652,054Level 2
Marketable securities379379Level 1

Items are classified within Level 1 if quoted prices are available in active markets. The Company’s Level 1 items are primarily money market funds and marketable securities. As of October 2, 2026 and July 3, 2026, the money market funds were valued at $1.00 net asset value per share.

Items are classified within Level 2 if the observable inputs to quoted market prices, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes or alternative pricing sources are available with reasonable levels of price transparency. The Company’s bank certificates of deposit are classified within Level 2. The carrying value of bank certificates of deposit approximates their fair value. The Company did not have any recurring assets or liabilities that were valued using significant unobservable inputs.

Note 6. Credit Facility and Debt

The Company entered into a Secured Credit Facility Agreement (the “Credit Facility”), dated May 9, 2023, amended as of November 22, 2023, October 18, 2024 and August 28, 2025, with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing lender and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., and Regions Capital Markets as lenders. On August 28, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment under the Credit Facility to increase the Term Loan and Revolver commitments by $20.0 million for each instrument. The Credit Facility provides for a $95.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) and a $95.0 million Term Loan Facility (the “Term Loan”) with a maturity date of October 18, 2029. The $95.0 million Revolver can be borrowed with a $20.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit, and a $10.0 million swingline loan sub-limit.

As of October 2, 2026, the available credit under the Revolver was $88.1 million, reflecting the available limit of $95.0 million less outstanding letters of credit of $6.9 million. The Company borrowed $30.0 million and repaid $40.0 million against the Revolver during the three months ended October 2, 2026. There wereno outstanding borrowings under the Revolver as of October 2, 2026. The Company repaid $1.2 million against the Term Loan during the three months ended October 2, 2026.

The following summarizes the Company’s outstanding long-term debt as of October 2, 2026 and July 3, 2026:

(In thousands)October 2, 2026July 3, 2026
Term loan$86,426$87,578
Revolver—10,000
Less: unamortized deferred financing costs(537)(578)
Total debt85,88997,000
Less: current portion of long-term debt(9,052)(7,900)
Total long-term debt$76,837$89,100

Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at either: (a) Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus the applicable margin; or (b) the Base Rate plus the applicable margin. The pricing levels for interest rate margins are determined based on the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as determined and adjusted quarterly. As of October 2, 2026, the applicable margin on Adjusted Term SOFR and Base Rate borrowings was 2.75% and 1.75%, respectively. The effective rate of interest on the outstanding Term Loan borrowings as of October 2, 2026 and July 3, 2026 was 6.8% and 6.5%, respectively.

The Credit Facility requires the Company and its subsidiaries to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio to be greater than 1.25 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Company. The Credit Facility also requires that the Company maintain a maximum leverage ratio of 3.00 times EBITDA, with a step-down to 2.75 times EBITDA after four full quarters, and 2.50 times EBITDA after eight full quarters. The current maximum leverage ratio requirement is 2.75 times EBITDA. The Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, covenants limiting the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to dispose of assets, permit a change in control, merge or consolidate, make acquisitions, incur indebtedness, grant liens, make investments, make certain restricted payments, and enter into transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to customary exceptions. As of October 2, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants contained in the Credit Facility.

As of October 2, 2026, scheduled maturities of outstanding Term Loan borrowings by fiscal year are as follows:

Charges, net—
Cash payments(129)
Balance as of October 2, 2026$1,076

As of October 2, 2026, the accrued restructuring balance of $1.1 million was included in other current liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Included in the above were positions identified for termination that have not been executed from a restructuring perspective. As of October 2, 2026, we expect all restructuring activities to be substantially complete by the end of fiscal 2027. The remaining accrual primarily relates to severance and other employee-related obligations associated with actions previously announced.

Fiscal 2027 Activity

Fiscal 2027 activity consists of cash payments made by the Company relating to employee severance and benefit obligations from previously approved restructuring initiatives.

Fiscal 2026 Plan

During fiscal 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors approved restructuring plans, primarily associated with reductions in workforce in certain of the Company’s operations to optimize skill sets and align cost structure. In addition, restructuring charges also consisted of a $0.3 million early lease termination charge during the year.

Note 8. Stockholders’ Equity

Stock Repurchase Program

In November 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program to purchase up to $10.0 million of the Company’s common stock. As of October 2, 2026, $3.6 million remains available and Aviat may choose to suspend or discontinue the repurchase program at any time. Repurchased shares are recorded as treasury stock. During the first quarter of fiscal 2027, the Company didnot repurchase any shares of its common stock.

Stock Incentive Programs

As of October 2, 2026, the Company hadone active stock incentive plan for its employees and non-employee directors, the 2018 Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”). The 2018 Plan provides for the issuance of share-based awards in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and units, and performance share awards and units.

Under the 2018 Plan, option exercise prices are equal to the fair market value of Aviat common stock on the date the options are granted using the closing stock price. After vesting, options generally may be exercised within seven years after the date of grant.

Restricted stock units are not transferable until vested and the restrictions lapse upon the achievement of continued employment or service over a specified time period. Restricted stock units issued to employees generally vest three years from the date of grant (three-year cliff or annually over three years). Restricted stock units issued annually to non-executive board members generally vest on the day before the annual stockholders’ meeting.

Vesting of performance share awards and units is subject to the achievement of predetermined financial performance and share price criteria, and continued employment through the end of the applicable period.

During the three months ended October 2, 2026, the Company granted 146,293 restricted stock units and 224,496 performance share awards.

The Company recognizes compensation cost for share-based payment awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. For awards with a performance condition vesting feature, share-based compensation costs are recognized when achievement of the performance conditions is considered probable. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

Total compensation expense for share-based awards included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations was as follows:

As of October 2, 2026, there was $6.6 million and $6.8 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock and performance shares, respectively. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.91 years and 2.19 years for non-vested restricted stock and performance shares, respectively.

Note 9. Segment and Geographic Information

Aviat operates inone reportable business segment: the design and sale of wireless transport and access networking solutions and services that enable mission-critical and business-critical communications networks. Aviat conducts business globally and its sales and support activities are managed on a geographic basis. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”). The CODM manages the business primarily by function globally and reviews financial information on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenues by geographic region, for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The profitability of geographic regions is not a determining factor in allocating resources and the CODM does not evaluate profitability below the level of the consolidated company. Significant segment expenses are not analyzed by segment within the Company’s internal reporting. Significant segment expenses are presented in Aviat’s consolidated statement of operations.

The Company reports revenue by region and country based on the location where its customers accept delivery of products and services. Revenue by region for the three months ended October 2, 2026 and September 26, 2025 was as follows:

Note 10. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate varies from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state taxes, losses in certain jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can be recognized, stock-based compensation and foreign operations that are subject to income taxes at different statutory rates. During interim periods, tax expense or benefit are accrued for jurisdictions that are anticipated to be profitable for fiscal 2027.

The determination of income taxes for the three months ended October 2, 2026 and September 26, 2025 was based on the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for losses in certain jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can be recognized. The tax expense for the three months ended October 2, 2026 was primarily related to U.S. and profitable foreign subsidiaries. The tax expense for the three months ended September 26, 2025 was primarily related to U.S. and profitable foreign subsidiaries.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S., Singapore, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is currently under examination in certain jurisdictions. The Company remains subject to potential audits in the U.S. for fiscal years after 2022, and in Singapore for fiscal years after 2021. Additionally, all net operating losses and tax credits generated to date in these two jurisdictions are subject to adjustment.

Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are accounted for as part of the provision for federal, foreign, and state income taxes. Such interest expense was not material for the three months ended October 2, 2026 and September 26, 2025.

On March 11, 2021, the U.S. enacted the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARPA”) which expanded Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended to cover the next five most highly compensated employees for the taxable year, in addition to the “covered employees,” effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2026. The Company will continue to examine the elements of the ARPA and the impact it may have on future business.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted into law. The Company has performed an initial assessment of the provisions contained within this legislation and does not currently anticipate any material impacts to its consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. However, the Company will continue to monitor developments and evaluate any potential impacts in future periods.

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Orders and Other Commitments

From time to time in the normal course of business, the Company may enter into purchasing agreements with its suppliers that require the Company to accept delivery of and remit full payment for (i) finished products that it has ordered, (ii) finished products that it requested be held as safety stock, and (iii) work in process started on its behalf, in the event it cancels or terminates the purchasing agreement. Because these agreements do not specify fixed or minimum quantities, do not specify minimum or variable price provisions, and do not specify the approximate timing of the transaction, and the Company has no present intention to cancel or terminate any of these agreements, the Company currently does not believe that it has any future liability under these agreements. As of October 2, 2026, the Company had outstanding purchase obligations with its suppliers or contract manufacturers of $119.4 million. In addition, the Company had purchase obligations of approximately $6.8 million associated with software as a service and software maintenance support.

Financial Guarantees and Commercial Commitments

Guarantees issued by banks, insurance companies, or other financial institutions are contingent commitments issued to guarantee performance under borrowing arrangements, such as bank overdraft facilities, tax and customs obligations, and similar transactions, or to ensure performance under customer or vendor contracts. The terms of the guarantees are generally equal to the remaining term of the related debt or other obligations and are generally limited totwo years or less. As of October 2, 2026, the Company had no guarantees applicable to its debt arrangements.

The Company has entered into commercial commitments in the normal course of business including surety bonds, standby letters of credit agreements, and other arrangements with financial institutions primarily relating to the guarantee of future performance on certain contracts to provide products and services to customers. As of October 2, 2026, the Company had commercial commitments outstanding of $33.3 million, that were not recorded on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not believe, based on historical experience and information currently available, that it is probable that any significant amounts will be required to be paid on these performance guarantees in the future.

Under the terms of substantially all of the Company’s license agreements, it has agreed to defend and pay any final judgment against its customers arising from claims against such customers that the Company’s products infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party. As of October 2, 2026, the Company has not received any notice that any customer is subject to an infringement claim arising from the use of its products; the Company has not received any request to defend any customers from infringement claims arising from the use of its products; and the Company has not paid any final judgment on behalf of any customer related to an infringement claim arising from the use of its products. Because the outcome of infringement disputes is related to the specific facts of each case and given the lack of previous or current indemnification claims, the Company cannot estimate the maximum amount of potential future payments, if any, related to its indemnification provisions. As of October 2, 2026, the Company had not recorded any liabilities related to these indemnifications.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject from time to time to disputes with customers concerning its products and services. From time to time, the Company may be involved in various other legal claims and litigation that arise in the normal course of its operations. The Company is aggressively defending all current litigation matters. Although there can be no assurances and the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, the Company currently believes that none of these claims or proceedings are likely to have a material adverse effect on its financial position. There are many uncertainties associated with any litigation and these actions or other third-party claims against the Company may cause it to incur costly litigation and/or substantial settlement charges. As a result, the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be adversely affected. The actual liability in any such matters may be materially different from the Company’s estimates, if any.

On August 13, 2025 and October 21, 2025, NEC Corporation (“NEC”) issued letters of arbitration to the Company originally demanding $19.0 million of additional component purchases, which the Company believes is unfounded and not required under the Manufacturing and Supply Agreement between the Company and NEC (the “MSA”). NEC further demanded the escrow under the Purchase Agreement which Aviat counter-claimed for the same escrow funds. The NEC arbitration letters also included a demand for payment of the outstanding accounts payable balances which are reflected in Accounts payable of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and disclosed in Note 13. Related Party Transactions. As of October 2, 2026, the Company cannot predict the outcome of these matters and is asserting certain counterclaims and continues to work through the arbitration process. As such, no loss accrual is deemed necessary. The Company will continue to evaluate the proceedings and the expected outcome of this matter.

The Company records accruals for its outstanding legal proceedings, investigations or claims when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates, at least on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings, investigations or claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as any developments that would result in a loss contingency to become both probable and reasonably estimable. The Company has not recorded any significant accrual for loss contingencies associated with such legal claims or litigation discussed above.

Contingent Liabilities

The Company records a loss contingency as a charge to operations when (i) it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements; and (ii) the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Disclosure in the notes to the financial statements is required for loss contingencies that do not meet both conditions if there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred. Gain contingencies are not recorded until realized. The Company expenses all legal costs incurred to resolve regulatory, legal and tax matters as incurred.

In March 2016, an enforcement action by the Indian Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance was brought against Aviat’s subsidiary Aviat Networks (India) Private Limited (“Aviat India”) relating to the non-realization of intercompany receivables and non-payment of intercompany payables, which originated from 1999 to 2012, within the time frames dictated by the Indian regulations under the Foreign Exchange Management Act. In November 2017, the Indian Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance also initiated a similar action against Telsima Communications Private Limited (“Telsima India”), a subsidiary of the Company, relating to the non-realization of intercompany receivables and non-payment of intercompany payables which originated from the period prior to the acquisition of Telsima India in February 2009. In September 2019, the directors of Aviat India appeared before the Ministry of Finance Enforcement Directorate. The Company appeared before the Joint Director of Enforcement to review the transactions at issue in March 2024, and again on May 22, 2025 to provide additional information. No subsequent hearing date has been scheduled as of October 2, 2026. The Company has accrued an immaterial amount representing the estimated probable loss for which it would settle the matter. The Company currently cannot form an estimate of the range of loss in excess of its amounts already accrued. If the outcome of this matter is greater than the current immaterial amount accrued, the Company intends to dispute it vigorously.

Periodically, the Company reviews the status of each significant matter to assess the potential financial exposure. If a potential loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss is reflected in the results of operations. Significant judgment is required to determine the probability that a liability has been incurred or an asset impaired and whether such loss is reasonably estimable. Further, estimates of this nature are highly subjective, and the final outcome of these matters could vary significantly from the amounts that have been included in the consolidated financial statements.

As additional information becomes available, the Company will reassess the potential liability related to its pending claims and litigation and may revise estimates accordingly. Such revisions in the estimates of the potential liabilities could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.
