Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures required for annual financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, have been included. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements.

The significant accounting policies applied in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (“fiscal year 2025”), filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026, except as otherwise disclosed herein. There have been no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Restricted cash of $2.0 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was held as collateral for a letter of credit entered into in connection with the lease in New York City for our radio operations and corporate offices, which expires in October 2039. The Company may be eligible to reduce the required security deposit in future periods upon satisfaction of certain conditions under the lease.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The activity in the allowance for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was as follows:

-7-

Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s fair value hierarchy classification of financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis has not changed during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value due to its variable interest rate structure. The Company did not have any material transfers between Levels 1, 2, or 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the period.

Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangibles

The Company evaluates goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate potential impairment. No impairment charges were recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Stock-based Compensation Costs

Stock-based compensation expense totaled $1.0 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $0.0 million and $0.0 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2025. The increase in stock-based compensation expense was primarily attributable to immediately vesting equity awards granted during the current year, resulting in increased compensation expense recognized over the requisite service periods. The methods and assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of stock-based awards are consistent with those described in the Company’s Form 10-K for fiscal 2025.

Production Costs

Amortization expense included in operating expenses was $0.9 million and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and $0.6 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed when incurred. Advertising expenses were $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

Deferred Revenue and Barter Transactions

Deferred revenue includes makegood liabilities associated with network sales contracts and deferred barter transactions. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the makegood liability balance was $5.1 million and $7.7 million, respectively. The makegood liability is expected to be recognized over various periods not anticipated to exceed four years.

The makegood liability account activity and the barter revenue and barter expense transactions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, are as follows:

-8-

Variable Interest Entities

Prior to May 1, 2025, the Company consolidated certain entities as a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Following shareholder approval on March 6, 2025, of the issuance of Class A common stock in connection with the exercise of a warrant and a Put Right, the Put Right was exercised on May 1, 2025, pursuant to which the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests of Estrella and certain subsidiaries in exchange for 7,051,538 shares of Class A common stock. As a result, Estrella became a wholly owned subsidiary and is no longer considered a VIE. Accordingly, the Company did not consolidate any VIEs subsequent to May 1, 2025.

Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company has considered information available to it as of the date of issuance of these financial statements and is not aware of any specific events or circumstances that would require an update to its estimates or judgments, or a revision to the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information becomes available. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Going Concern

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company has near-term debt maturities, a working capital deficit, and liquidity constraints and the potential for future violations of financial covenants under its credit agreements. Management evaluated these conditions in accordance with applicable accounting guidance and determined that, absent the successful execution of its plans, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. The Company’s failure to satisfy the Audio Adjusted EBITDA covenant for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was waived by the applicable lender; however, the waiver applies only to the covenant period ended June 30, 2026 and does not extend to subsequent covenant periods. Accordingly, the Company may be required to obtain additional waivers or amendments to its credit agreements if it fails to satisfy applicable financial covenants in future periods.

Management has concluded that our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to execute our business plan and/or implement other strategic options. Management is prepared to implement additional cost cutting measures, as necessary, intends to seek refinancing and to raise additional capital to meet its debt service and working capital obligations, if needed. However, while the Company has been successful in obtaining additional liquidity in the past, no assurances can be made that the Company will receive such liquidity in the future, or that the other actions described above will alleviate substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Implemented

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. The amendment provides a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from revenue transactions. Under the expedient, an entity may assume that current conditions at the balance‑sheet date remain constant over the remaining life of these assets, simplifying the application of the current expected credit loss model. ASU 2025‑05 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and is to be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 effective January 1, 2026. There was no material impact to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of adopting ASU 2025-05.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Implemented

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Accounting Standards Update 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses to improve financial reporting by requiring that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. An entity may apply the amendments prospectively for reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and its impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and financial statement disclosures.

2. REVISION OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Revision of Q2 2025 Financial Statements

As discussed in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, during the third quarter of 2025, the Company determined that its Warrant Shares, originally issued in 2024 and valued at $32.2 million as of June 30, 2025, should have been presented as a liability rather than as permanent equity. Due to the liability classification, there was also a $1.4 million mark to market adjustment that should have been recorded in Change in fair value of warrant shares liability in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025. As a result, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the three-months ended June 30, 2025, have been revised to reflect this liability presentation of the Warrant Shares.

In accordance with SAB No. 99, Topic 1.M, Materiality, SAB No. 99, Topic 1.N, Considering the Effects of Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in the Current Year Financial Statements, and ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, the Company assessed the materiality of this misstatement to its previously issued consolidated financial statements. Based upon the Company’s evaluation of both quantitative and qualitative factors, the Company concluded this misstatement was immaterial to the Company’s previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2025.

The following table details the impact of the misstatements and provides revisions to the impacted financial statement line items in the previously-issued condensed consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented (in thousands, except per share data):

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed using the two-class method, which allocates earnings to each class of common stock and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive dividends and undistributed earnings. Certain warrants to purchase Class A common stock are considered participating securities because they have the right to participate in distributions with common shareholders on an as-exercised basis. During periods of net loss, participating securities are not allocated losses as they are not contractually obligated to share in such losses. The Company has elected to allocate earnings based on loss from operations. For periods in which the Company reports a net loss, all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding are the same for the periods presented.

The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to Class A and Class B common shareholders:

The following items were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Restricted stock awards excluded from the calculation include 474,302 shares underlying awards that vested but were not issued due to the Company's inability to fund the employee tax withholding obligations associated with such awards.

4. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES

On January 1, 2026, the Company acquired an investment in Sigma (“Investee”), a limited liability company operating an audio advertising and media network. The Company accounts for the investment under the equity method of accounting as it does not control the Investee.

Under the Investee’s operating agreement, eMedia serves as manager and controls the significant operating activities of the Investee.

Pursuant to the operating agreement, the Company is committed to fund up to $1.0 million of the Investee’s operating needs during the initial funding period. Contributions are accounted for as capital contributions and included in the carrying value of the investment. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has contributed $0.6 million to the Investee. The Company has remaining funding commitments of $0.4 million, under the agreement.

Under the operating agreement, the Company is allocated 100% of the Investee’s profits and losses until recovery of its initial capital contributions, after which profits and losses are allocated 60% to the Company and 40% to eMedia.

-11-

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized losses of $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, which is included in equity loss in investments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. This has reduced the investment in the Investee balance tozero as of June 30, 2026. No cash distributions were received during the period.

Summarized financial information for equity method investees has not been presented as such information is not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

5. INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, intangible assets and goodwill consisted of the following:

Definite-lived intangibles

The following table presents the weighted-average useful life at June 30, 2026, and the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization for each major class of definite-lived intangible assets at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

The software was developed internally by our radio operations and represents our updated website and mobile application, which offer increased functionality and opportunities to grow and interact with our audience. They cost $1.7 million to develop and useful lives offive years andseven years were assigned to the application and website, respectively. The customer relationships and time brokerage agreements (“Other”) were acquired as part of the Estrella acquisition.

Total amortization expense from definite-lived intangible assets for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 and included in the depreciation and amortization line item in the condensed consolidated statements of operations was as follows:

-12-

The Company estimates amortization expense for each of the next five years as follows:

6. PROGRAMMING RIGHTS

Program rights expected to be amortized to expense in the following 12-month period are classified as current assets and program rights payable within the following 12-month period are classified as current liabilities. Long-term program rights assets are classified as noncurrent acquired programming rights. The Company did not have any long-term program rights liabilities as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. All program rights payables are included in other current liabilities as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Amortization expense included in operating expenses was $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively and amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, was $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The Company evaluates programming rights for impairment whenever indicators of loss are present. No impairment was recorded during the periods presented.

The Company estimates amortization expense as follows:

Sublicense Agreement

On July 3, 2025, the Company entered into athree-year sublicense agreement with a programming syndicate to obtain non-exclusive Spanish-language broadcast and distribution rights to certain live sporting events. The sublicense covers the 2025-26, 2026-27, and 2027-28 seasons within the United States and Canada. Under the agreement, the syndicate provides the live clean feeds of these sporting events and related highlights, and the Company is permitted to air and monetize such programming across its linear and digital platforms.

The Company is obligated to pay fixed license fees totaling $7.2 million over the term of the contract, payable in monthly installments during each season. Additional consideration is due for playoff events and for per-event production services. The Company also agreed to provide the syndicate $1.0 million per season of promotional airtime, measured at fair value, in lieu of cash consideration. The sublicense expires following completion of the 2027-28 season and is non-renewable except by mutual agreement. There wereno promotional airtime expenses, license fees expensed were $0.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and production costs expensed were immaterial and $0.2 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

7. REVENUE

The Company generates revenue from the sale of services including, but not limited to: (i) on-air commercial broadcast time, (ii) non-traditional revenues including event-related revenues and event sponsorship revenues, and (iii) digital advertising. Payments received from advertisers before the performance obligation is satisfied are recorded as deferred revenue. Certain network sales contracts include a guaranteed number of units. If the guarantee is not met, the Company is obligated to provide additional units at no charge until the guaranteed number of units is met, referred to as a makegood liability. The liability for each contract is calculated by determining the cost per guarantee per the original contract, multiplied by the number of deficiency units. As of June 30, 2026, the makegood liability which is associated with these network sales and contracts was $5.1 million and is expected to be recognized at various times, but not anticipated to exceed four years and is included in Deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated financial statements. We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less. Advertising revenues presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements are reflected on a net basis, after the deduction of advertising agency fees, usually at arate of 15% of gross revenues.

-13-

Spot Radio & TV Advertising

On-air broadcast revenue is recognized when or as performance obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied. This typically occurs over the period of time that advertisements are provided, or as an event occurs. Revenues are reported at the amount the Company expects to be entitled to receive under the contract. Payments received from advertisers before the performance obligation is satisfied are recorded as deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Digital

Digital revenue relates to revenue generated from the sale of digital marketing services (including display advertisements and video pre-roll and sponsorships) to advertisers on Company-owned websites and from revenue generated from content distributed across other digital platforms. Digital revenues are generally recognized as the digital advertising is delivered.

Syndication

Syndication revenue relates to revenue generated from the sale of rights to broadcast shows we produce as well as revenues from syndicated shows we broadcast for a fee. Syndication revenues are generally recognized ratably over the term of the contract.

Events and Sponsorships

Events and Sponsorships revenues principally consist of ticket sales and sponsorship of events our stations conduct in their local market. These revenues are recognized when our performance obligations are fulfilled, which generally coincides with the occurrence of the related event.

Other

Other revenue includes barter revenue, network revenue, talent fee revenue and other revenue. The Company provides advertising broadcast time in exchange for certain products and services, including on-air radio programming. These barter arrangements generally allow the Company to preempt such bartered broadcast time in favor of advertisers who purchase time for cash consideration. These barter arrangements are valued based upon the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the products and services received. Revenue is recognized on barter arrangements when we broadcast the advertisements. Advertisements delivered under barter arrangements are typically aired during the same period in which the products and services are consumed. The Company also sells certain remnant advertising inventory to third-parties for cash, and we refer to this as network revenue. The third-parties aggregate our remnant inventory with other broadcasters’ remnant inventory for sale to third parties, generally to large national advertisers. This network revenue is recognized as we broadcast the advertisements. Talent fee revenue are fees earned for appearances by our talent, which is recognized when our performance obligations are fulfilled, which generally coincides with the occurrence of the related appearance. Other revenue is comprised of brand integrations, custom on-air shows, or other amounts earned that do not fit in any other category and are recognized when our performance obligations are fulfilled.

Disaggregation of revenue

The following table presents the Company's revenues disaggregated by revenue source:

-14-

8. LONG-TERM DEBT, WARRANTS, AND SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK

Long-term debt, and Series B Preferred Stock was comprised of the following at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

First Lien Term Loans

The Company has a first lien term loan credit facility (the “First Lien Credit Agreement”) of $45.0 million with WhiteHawk Capital Partners, LP, as administrative and collateral agent, and various lenders from time-to-time party thereto.

-15-

The term loans under the First Lien Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate of SOFR +6.00%.and require monthly interest payments. The First Lien Credit Agreement consists of an $35.0 million initial term loan (the “Initial Term Loan”) and delayed draw term loans in an aggregate amount up to $10.0 million (the “Delayed Draw Term Loans”). The first of such Delayed Draw Term Loans of $5.0 million was made on May 2, 2024 and the second of such Delayed Draw Term Loans of $5.0 million was made on July 17, 2024. The Initial Term Loan matures on April 17, 2029. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company obtained an amendment that extended the maturity of its First Lien Credit Agreement debt previously due in May 2026 to July 30, 2026 and waived certain covenant requirements. In August 2026, the Company entered into a second amendment to the First Lien Credit Agreement that further extended the maturity dates of both Delayed Draw Term Loans from July 30, 2026 to October 31, 2026.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants, with the exception of the Audio Adjusted EBITDA covenant. On August 14, 2026, the Company received a waiver from the applicable lender with respect to the Company’s failure to satisfy the Audio Adjusted EBITDA covenant for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The waiver applies only to the covenant period ended June 30, 2026 and does not extend to any subsequent covenant periods. Accordingly, the Company has classified $34.1 million of outstanding long-term debt as current as of June 30, 2026. The Company has also reclassified $1.8 million of unamortized original issue discount and deferred financing costs associated with such debt to current liabilities, as applicable.

Second Lien Term Loan

The Company has a $30.0 million second lien term loan credit facility (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement” or the “2L Term Loan”) with HPS Investment Partners, LLC (“HPS”), as administrative and collateral agent, and various financial institutions from time-to-time party thereto. The Second Lien Credit Agreement was initially recorded at a discount and is accreted to its redemption value over its term, with such accretion recognized in Interest expense, net in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The 2L Term Loan will mature on April 17, 2029 and is subject to monthly interest payments at a rate of SOFR +6.00%, of which the 6.00% may be paid-in-kind (“PIK”) at the Company’s election. In 2024, the Company elected to PIK the 6.00% spread monthly.

During the first quarter of 2026, the Company entered into an amendment to its Second Lien Credit Agreement that waived certain covenant requirements. As of June 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants, with the exception of the Audio Adjusted EBITDA covenant. On August 14, 2026, the Company received a waiver from the applicable lender with respect to the Company’s failure to satisfy the Audio Adjusted EBITDA covenant for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The waiver applies only to the covenant period ended June 30, 2026 and does not extend to any subsequent covenant periods. Accordingly, the Company has classified $31.0 million of outstanding long-term debt as current as of June 30, 2026.

Series B Preferred Stock

The Company has 60,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock with an aggregate initial liquidation value of $60.0 million. The Series B Preferred Stock was initially recorded at a discount and is accreted to its redemption value over its term, with such accretion recognized in Interest expense, net in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Series B Preferred Stock was issued in April 2024 and accrues dividends at an annual rate of 6.00% of its liquidation value, payable in kind, and is mandatorily redeemable after seven years from issuance in April 2031. The Series B Preferred Stock is not convertible into other equity securities and is classified as a long-term liability.

The Series B Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company’s common stock and restricts the Company’s ability to make certain distributions to junior or pari passu equity holders.

Warrant Shares

The Company issued a warrant to purchase up to 28,206,152 shares of Class A common stock, at an exercise price per share of $0.00001. The warrant provided the holder with the right to participate in distributions on an as-exercised basis.

Shareholder approval required for full exercise of the warrant was obtained on March 6, 2025. On September 5, 2025 the warrant issued in connection with the Company’s acquisition of certain assets of Estrella and its subsidiaries was exercised in exchange for 28,205,938 shares of MediaCo Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share.

-16-

Based on amounts outstanding at June 30, 2026, mandatory principal payments of our debt for the next five years and thereafter, based on the original maturity schedules, are summarized below. The table excludes the First and Second Lien Term Loans, which are classified as current liabilities:

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

The Company is subject to certain contingent liabilities arising in the normal course of business. These include guarantees, indemnifications, and other arrangements that could require the Company to make payments to third parties under certain circumstances.

As of June 30, 2026, management has evaluated all known contingent matters and believes that any potential losses that may arise from such arrangements are not probable or are not reasonably estimable. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements.

Legal Matters

From time to time, our stations are parties to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management of the Company, however, there areno legal proceedings pending against the Company that we believe are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

10. INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was (7)% and (4)%, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 differs from the statutory tax rate primarily due to the recording of additional interest and penalties on an uncertain tax position as well as the continued recognition of additional valuation allowance.

ASC Subtopic 740-10 clarified the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute of the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken within a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest benefit that reaches greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we recorded approximately $7.7 million of gross tax liability for uncertain tax positions related to federal and state income tax returns filed. Additionally, we recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as components of our income tax provision. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the amount of interest accrued was approximately $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and the amount of penalties accrued was approximately $0.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively, which did not include the federal tax benefit of interest deductions.

11. LEASES

We have operating leases for office space and tower space expiring at various dates through December 2047 and finance leases for broadcast tower space expiring in March 2029. Some leases have options to extend and some have options to terminate. Operating leases are included in lease right-of-use assets, current operating lease liabilities, and noncurrent operating lease liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in deposits and other, other current liabilities, and other noncurrent liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

We elected not to apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842, Leases, to short-term leases, which are deemed to be leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Instead, we recognized lease payments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable payments in the period in which the obligation for these payments was incurred. We elected this policy for all classes of underlying assets. Short-term lease expense recognized during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was not material.

-17-

On February 27, 2026, the Company entered into an amendment to an existing lease agreement. The amendment resulted in a remeasurement of the related lease liability and right-of-use (“ROU”) asset. As a result of the remeasurement, both the lease liability and the ROU asset decreased; however, the reduction in the lease liability exceeded the decrease in the ROU asset.

As a result of the lease modification and remeasurement, the Company recorded a $7.0 million, reduction in lease liabilities during the first quarter of 2026, consisting of a $1.0 million reduction in current lease liabilities and a $6.0 million reduction in non-current lease liabilities, as well as a reduction of the ROU asset of $5.4 million. As a result, the Company recognized a remeasurement gain of $1.6 million, representing the excess of the reduction in the lease liability over the reduction in the ROU asset. This gain is included in other income in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The impact of operating leases to our condensed consolidated financial statements was as follows:

The impact of finance leases to our condensed consolidated financial statements was as follows:

As of June 30, 2026, the annual minimum lease payments of our operating and finance lease liabilities were as follows:

12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Estrella Put Right and Equity Clawback

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Estrella, the Company entered into agreements with HPS, that contain equity clawback provisions. Under these provisions, the Company may require the return or forfeiture of equity interests under specified circumstances.

-18-

The potential exercise of these clawback provisions could result in the reduction or cancellation of equity interests held by such related party investors and the repayment or forfeiture of related debt obligations.
