The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025, the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 have been prepared by the Company and have not been audited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments except where disclosed) necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operation, and cash flows have been made. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries that are consolidated in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). All intercompany amounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Regulations

On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBBA). The OBBBA makes permanent key elements of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including 100% bonus depreciation and domestic research cost expensing. In addition, the OBBBA accelerates the phase-out of incentives for the solar market and includes certain supply chain requirements to qualify for these incentives. ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, requires the effects of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred tax balances to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the OBBBA to our business and the consolidated financial statements.

Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of accounting standard updates (ASUs) to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC).

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 new guidance is intended to provide investors more detailed disclosures around specific types of expenses. The new disclosures require additional quantitative and qualitative information for certain expenses contained within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income to be presented in the notes to the financial statements. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The disclosure updates are required to be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. The Company is currently assessing the impact and timing of adopting the updated standard.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU establishes new income tax disclosure requirements in addition to modifying and eliminating certain existing requirements. Under the new guidance, the Company must consistently categorize and provide greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation. It must also further disaggregate income taxes paid. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. Entities may apply the amendments prospectively or may elect retrospective application. The Company is evaluating the impact of the new required disclosures but does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-09 to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 Segment Reporting - Improving Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). The update is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant expenses. The ASU requires disclosures to include significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM), a description of other segment items by reportable segment, and any additional measures of a segment's profit or loss used by the CODM when deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU also requires all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 to be included in interim periods. The update was effective for fiscal year 2024 and is effective for interim periods in fiscal 2025. The required annual disclosures are reflected in Note 7, "Segment Reporting," to the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the required quarterly disclosures are reflected in Note 6, "Segment Reporting," of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

There have been no other recent accounting pronouncements, changes in accounting pronouncements, or recently adopted accounting guidance during the six months ended June 30, 2025, that are of significance or potential significance to the Company's consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
