• Debt Maturities: Assess the $382 million in debt and non-recourse debt maturities due in the remainder of 2026 and the company's refinancing strategy.
• Inventory Commitments: Confirm the status of the $212 million in inventory purchase obligations over the next 9 years and the $14 million fulfilled in Q1.
• Subsequent Acquisitions: Evaluate the financial impact of the $129 million acquisition of BRE Ace LLC and the $500 million securitization completed in April 2026.
