Material Changes and Financial Results
The filing references a press release (Exhibit 99.1) and investor presentation (Exhibit 99.2) detailing results for the quarter and fiscal year ended January 31, 2026. However, this Form 8-K text does not provide specific numerical values for revenue, profit, cash flow, or margins.
