Filing Type: Form 8-K (Current Report)

Subject: Non-reliance on previously issued financial statements for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026, due to an error in Earnings Per Share (EPS) calculations.

EPS Correction Details:
- Three months ended March 31, 2026: Weighted-average shares were understated by 702,484 shares, resulting in an EPS overstatement of $0.02.

Material Changes and Restatement
The Audit Committee concluded that the Original Form 10-Q filed on May 13, 2026, should no longer be relied upon. The error stemmed from a formula omission in a supporting spreadsheet that excluded a component of shares from the summation used to calculate weighted-average shares. The Company intends to file a Form 10-Q/A to restate the affected financial statements and disclosures.
Management Commentary, Risks, and Internal Controls
Internal Control Weakness: Management identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026. This weakness relates to a failure in the review control over the weighted-average shares outstanding calculation, specifically regarding the precision required to detect completeness errors in workpapers.
Remediation: Management is implementing enhanced review procedures and controls over spreadsheet completeness and formula integrity.
Forward-Looking Statements: The filing includes standard cautionary notes regarding the timing of the restatement and the potential for actual results to differ from expectations.
