Key Financial Metrics (Fiscal 2025)

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Decline: Revenues decreased 10.6% to $93.3 million from $104.4 million in 2024, driven by a 12.1% reduction in billed hours due to lower demand and increased competition.

• Debt Elimination: The Company paid off all outstanding debt obligations (Term Loan and Revolving Facility) totaling approximately $42.9 million using proceeds from the sale of the Professional segment.
• Dividend Distribution: A special cash dividend of $2.00 per share ($22.4 million total) was declared and paid in September 2025, compared to $0.15 per share in 2024.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

Management Commentary:

• Strategic Focus: Management is focused on organic growth within the Property Management segment and investing in AI tools for recruiting and onboarding.
• Liquidity: The Company believes cash generated from operations is sufficient to meet working capital needs for the next 12 months. No revolving credit facility is currently available.
• Stock Repurchase: A $5.0 million stock repurchase program was approved in November 2025; $1.5 million was utilized in 2025.

Risks and Contingencies:

• Internal Control Material Weakness: The independent auditor issued an adverse opinion on internal control over financial reporting due to a material weakness in the design of controls over revenue verification in the divested Professional segment. Management asserts this weakness is no longer relevant to continuing operations.
• Seasonality: Demand is highest in Q3 and lowest in Q1 due to weather and multifamily turnover cycles.
• Geographic Concentration: 28% of revenue is derived from Texas; economic weakness in this region could materially impact results.
• Working Capital Needs: The business model requires significant working capital to pay field talent weekly while collecting from clients on 30-90 day terms.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Internal Control Remediation: Verify the specific steps taken to remediate the material weakness in revenue controls, even though it pertained to a divested segment, to ensure no residual risk exists in the remaining Property Management operations.
• Debt-Free Status: Confirm the complete extinguishment of the BMO credit agreement and the absence of any new debt covenants or facilities.
• Dividend Sustainability: Assess the ability to sustain the $2.00 per share dividend payout given the net loss from continuing operations and the lack of a revolving credit facility.
• Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation: Review the reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA, noting the significant add-backs for "Strategic alternatives review" ($2.5 million) and "Software as a service" costs ($1.1 million).
• Deferred Tax Assets: Verify the realizability of the $9.5 million in deferred tax assets, particularly given the recent valuation allowance recorded against assets related to the Professional segment sale.
