Use of Non-GAAP Measures: This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures to supplement our financial results presented on a GAAP basis. The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their comparable GAAP measures are included in the attached financial tables. We believe that providing non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share offers investors useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enables comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating our business. Additionally, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating the Company's performance.

We exclude these amortization expenses in our non-GAAP financial measures because we believe it allows investors to make more meaningful comparisons between our operating results and those of other companies within our industry and facilitates a helpful comparison of our results with other periods. Stock-based compensation expenses: We incur material recurring expenses related to non-cash, stock-based compensation.

In particular, because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions, and the variety of award types that companies can use under ASC 718, we believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these expenses allows investors to make more meaningful comparisons between our operating results and those of other companies within our industry and facilitate comparisons of our results with other periods. Severance expense: From time to time, we incur severance expenses related to the termination by the Company of leadership and other key personnel. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recorded severance expense of approximately $0.2 million, of which approximately $0.1 million was recognized within cost of goods sold. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded severance expense of $1.1 million and $2.7 million, respectively, of which $0.3 million was recognized within cost of goods sold…
