FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-Q contains both historical and forward-looking statements regarding ABM and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “ABM,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”). We make forward-looking statements related to future expectations, estimates, and projections that are uncertain and often contain words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “outlook,” “plan,” “predict,” “should,” “target,” or other similar words or phrases. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Particular risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to be materially different from those expressed in our forward-looking statements include those listed below:

•Our success depends on our ability to gain profitable business despite competitive market pressures.

•Our results of operations can be adversely affected by labor shortages, turnover, and labor cost increases.

•We may not be able to attract and retain qualified personnel and senior management we need to support our business.

•Investments in and changes to our businesses, operating structure, or personnel relating to our strategic initiatives, including the implementation of strategic transformations, enhanced business processes, and technology initiatives, may not have the desired effects on our financial condition and results of operations.

•Our ability to preserve long-term client relationships is essential to our continued success.

•Our use of subcontractors or joint venture partners to perform work under customer contracts exposes us to liability and financial risk.

•Our international business involves risks different from those we face in the United States that could negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.

•Decreases in commercial office space utilization due to hybrid work models and increases in office vacancy rates could adversely affect our financial condition.

•Negative changes in general economic conditions, such as recessionary pressures, high interest rates, durable and non-durable goods pricing, changes in energy prices, or changes in consumer goods pricing could reduce the demand for our services and, as a result, reduce our revenue and earnings and adversely affect our financial condition.

•We may experience breaches of, or disruptions to, our information technology systems or those of our third-party providers or clients, or other compromises of our data that could adversely affect our business.

•Our ongoing implementation of new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) and related boundary systems could adversely impact our ability to operate our business, including the timing and amount of working capital needed, and report our financial results.

•Acquisitions, divestitures, and other strategic transactions could fail to achieve financial or strategic objectives, disrupt our ongoing business, and adversely impact our results of operations.

•We may not realize the growth opportunities and synergies that are anticipated from our acquisition of Iveagh New Opportunities Limited, a company incorporated in Ireland, and its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, “WGNSTAR”).

•We manage our insurable risks through a combination of third-party purchased policies and self-insurance, and we retain a substantial portion of the risk associated with expected losses under these programs, which exposes us to volatility associated with those risks, including the possibility that changes in estimates to our ultimate insurance loss reserves could result in material charges against our earnings.

•Our risk management and safety programs may not have the intended effect of reducing our liability for personal injury or property loss.

•Unfavorable developments in our class and representative actions and other lawsuits alleging various claims could cause us to incur substantial liabilities.

•We are subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements, which could limit our profitability by increasing the costs of legal and regulatory compliance.

•A significant number of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements that could expose us to potential liabilities in relation to our participation in multiemployer pension plans, requirements to make contributions to other benefit plans, and the potential for strikes, work slowdowns or similar activities, and union organizing drives.

•Our business may be materially affected by changes to fiscal and tax policies. Negative or unexpected tax consequences could adversely affect our results of operations.

•Future increases in the level of our borrowings and interest rates could affect our results of operations.

•Impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

•If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be negatively impacted, which could harm our operating results and investor perceptions of our Company and as a result may have a material adverse effect on the value of our common stock.

•Our business may be negatively impacted by adverse weather conditions.

•Catastrophic events, disasters, pandemics, and terrorist attacks could disrupt our services.

•Actions of activist investors could disrupt our business.

The list of factors above is illustrative and by no means exhaustive. Additional information regarding these and other risks and uncertainties we face is contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2025, and in other reports (including all amendments to those reports) we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

We urge readers to consider these risks and uncertainties in evaluating our forward-looking statements. We caution readers not to place undue reliance upon any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1. THE COMPANY AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

ABM is a leading provider of integrated facility services with a mission to make a difference, every person, every day. We are organized into four industry groups and one Technical Solutions segment:

Through these groups, we offer janitorial, facilities engineering, parking, and specialized mechanical and electrical technical solutions, on a standalone basis or in combination with other services.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with (i) United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and (ii) the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of our management, our unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes (the “Financial Statements”) include all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for the fair statement of the interim periods presented. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements (and notes thereto) in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2025. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to years are to our fiscal years, which end on October 31.

Rounding

We round amounts in the Financial Statements to millions and calculate all percentages and per-share data from the underlying whole-dollar amounts. Thus, certain amounts may not foot, crossfoot, or recalculate based on reported numbers due to rounding.

Management Reimbursement Revenue by Segment

We operate certain parking facilities under management reimbursement arrangements. Under these arrangements, we manage the parking facilities for management fees and pass through the revenues and expenses associated with the facilities to the owners. These revenues and expenses are reported in equal amounts as costs reimbursed from our managed locations. Management reimbursement revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2026, and January 31, 2025, was $91.0 million and $82.0 million, respectively.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

There were no recently adopted accounting standards during the three months ended January 31, 2026.

3. ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of LMC FM

Effective June 1, 2025, we acquired LMC FM Limited (“LMC”), a Dublin-based facilities services company with coverage across Ireland, for a purchase price of approximately $22.0 million in cash plus the potential of $5.9 million of contingent consideration to be paid in calendar year 2027 upon the retention of the top two customers. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized on the date of acquisition at their estimated fair values, with the excess of the purchase price recorded as goodwill. The goodwill is not deductible for tax reporting purposes. As of January 31, 2026, we recorded preliminary goodwill and intangibles of $14.1 million and $12.9 million, respectively. The total assets acquired, excluding goodwill and intangibles, and liabilities assumed amounted to $19.8 million and $18.9 million, respectively. The purchase price allocation is subject to adjustments within the measurement period not to exceed one year from the acquisition date.

The unaudited Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three months ended January 31, 2026, include revenues of $13.0 million attributable to LMC, which are included in our Technical Solutions segment.

Acquisition of RavenVolt

On September 1, 2022, we completed the acquisition of all of the equity interests of RavenVolt, Inc. (“RavenVolt”), a nationwide provider of advanced turn-key microgrid systems utilized by diversified commercial and industrial customers, national retailers, utilities, and municipalities. RavenVolt’s operations are included within our Technical Solutions segment.

The purchase price for the acquisition was approximately $170.0 million in cash at closing plus the potential of post-closing contingent consideration of up to $280.0 million. The estimate of the fair value of the contingent consideration on the date of acquisition was $59.0 million. The post-closing contingent consideration would be payable in cash in calendar years 2024, 2025, and 2026 if RavenVolt’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), as defined in the RavenVolt merger agreement, meets or exceeds certain defined targets. In 2024, defined EBITDA targets were not achieved, and as a result, no contingent consideration payment was made in 2024 for calendar year 2023. In the third quarter of 2025, we made a $75.0 million payment for calendar year 2024, of which $16.0 million was classified as an operating cash outflow. At January 31, 2026, the value of the contingent consideration was $32.5 million, and there was no change since October 31, 2025.

4. REVENUES

Disaggregation of Revenues

We generate revenues under several types of contracts, which are further explained below. Generally, the type of contract is determined by the nature of the services provided by each of our major service lines throughout our reportable segments; therefore, we disaggregate revenues from contracts with customers into major service lines. We have determined that disaggregating revenues into these categories best depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Our reportable segments are B&I, M&D, Aviation, Education, and Technical Solutions, as described in Note 13, “Segment Information.”

(1) Janitorial arrangements provide a wide range of essential cleaning services for commercial office buildings, airports and other transportation centers, educational institutions, government buildings, health facilities, industrial buildings, retail stores, and stadiums and arenas. These arrangements are often structured as monthly fixed-price, square-foot, cost-plus, and work order contracts.

(2) Aviation Services arrangements support airlines and airports with services such as passenger assistance, catering logistics, and airplane cabin maintenance. These arrangements are often structured as monthly fixed-price, cost-plus, transaction price, and hourly contracts.

(3) Parking and Transportation arrangements provide parking and transportation services for clients at various locations, including airports and other transportation centers, commercial office buildings, educational institutions, health facilities, hotels, and stadiums and arenas. These arrangements are structured as management reimbursement, leased location, and allowance contracts. Certain of these arrangements are considered service concession agreements and are accounted for under the guidance of Topic 853; accordingly, service concession expense related to these arrangements is recorded as a reduction of the related parking service revenues.

(4) Operations and Maintenance arrangements provide onsite mechanical engineering and technical services and solutions relating to a broad range of facilities and infrastructure systems that are designed to extend the useful life of facility fixed assets, improve equipment operating efficiencies, reduce energy consumption, lower overall operational costs for clients, and enhance the sustainability of client locations. These arrangements are generally structured as monthly fixed-price, cost-plus, and work order contracts.

(5) Building & Energy Solutions arrangements provide custom energy solutions, including microgrid systems installation, electrical, HVAC, lighting, electric vehicle charging station installation, uninterrupted power supply services, and other general maintenance and repair services for clients in the public and private sectors and are generally structured as Energy Savings, Fixed-Price Repair, and Refurbishment contracts. We also franchise certain operations under franchise agreements relating to our Linc Network and TEGG brands pursuant to franchise contracts.

Contract Types

We have arrangements under various contract types, as described in Note 2, “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2025.

Certain arrangements involve variable consideration (primarily per transaction fees, reimbursable expenses, and sales-based royalties). We do not estimate the variable consideration for these arrangements; rather, we recognize these variable fees as they are earned. Some of our contracts, often related to Airline Services, may also include performance incentives based on variable performance measures that are ascertained exclusively by future performance and therefore cannot be estimated at contract inception and are recognized as revenue once known and mutually agreed upon. We include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current, and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us.

The majority of our contracts include performance obligations that are primarily satisfied over time as we provide the related services. These contract types include: monthly fixed-price; square-foot; cost-plus; work orders; transaction-price; hourly; management reimbursement; leased location; allowance; energy savings contracts; and fixed-price repair and refurbishment contracts, as well as our franchise and royalty fee arrangements. We recognize revenue as the services are performed using a measure of progress that is determined by the contract type. Generally, most of our contracts are cancelable by either party without a substantive penalty, and the majority have a notification period of 30 to 90 days.

We primarily account for our performance obligations under the series guidance, using the as-invoiced practical expedient when applicable. We apply the as-invoiced practical expedient to record revenue as the services are provided, given the nature of the services provided and the frequency of billing under the customer contracts. Under this practical expedient, we recognize revenue in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of our performance completed to date and for which we have the right to invoice the customer.

Remaining Performance Obligations

At January 31, 2026, performance obligations that were unsatisfied for which we expect to recognize revenue totaled $224.2 million. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 80% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, with the remainder recognized thereafter, based on our estimates of project timing.

These amounts exclude variable consideration primarily related to: (i) contracts where we have determined that the contract consists of a series of distinct service periods, and revenues are based on future performance that cannot be estimated at contract inception; (ii) parking contracts where we and the customer share the gross revenues or operating profit for the location; and (iii) contracts where transaction prices include performance incentives that are based on future performance and therefore cannot be estimated at contract inception. For these contract types, we apply the practical expedient that permits exclusion of information about the remaining performance obligations with original expected durations of one year or less.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections results in contract assets and contract liabilities, as further explained below. The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers.

Contract assets primarily consist of billed trade receivables, unbilled trade receivables, and costs incurred in excess of amounts billed. Billed and unbilled trade receivables represent amounts from work completed in which we have an unconditional right to bill our customer. Costs incurred in excess of amounts billed typically arise when the revenue recognized on projects exceeds the amount billed to the customer. These amounts are transferred to billed trade receivables when the rights become unconditional. Contract assets also include the capitalization of incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer, primarily commissions. Commissions expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average expected customer relationship period.

Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue and advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized. We generally classify contract liabilities as current since the related contracts are generally for a period of one year or less. Contract liabilities decrease as we recognize revenue from the satisfaction of the related performance obligation.

The following tables present the balances in our contract assets and contract liabilities:


(in millions)	January 31, 2026		October 31, 2025

5. RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED COSTS

In the fourth quarter of 2025, we implemented a restructuring program (the “Restructuring Program”) to further streamline our operations and improve the efficiency of our support functions. This initiative is intended to enhance overall organizational effectiveness and ensure alignment between the Company’s cost structure and our strategic growth objectives. We recognized $17.1 million of cumulative restructuring charges under this program through the first quarter of 2026, which includes employee severance, asset impairment charges, and other related costs. We continue to review our overhead and cost structure for additional efficiency opportunities under this program. We expect these actions to be completed in 2026.

7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair Value Hierarchy of Our Financial Instruments

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis


(in millions)	Fair Value Hierarchy	January 31, 2026		October 31, 2025
Cash and cash equivalents(1)	1	$	100.4	$	104.1
Insurance deposits(2)	1	4.8		4.8
Assets held in funded deferred compensation plan(3)	1	4.8		4.8

Credit facility(4)	2	1,632.5		1,569.0
Interest rate swap assets(5)	2	2.5		4.3
Interest rate swap liabilities(5)	2	0.1		0.1
Investments in equity investment(6)	3	34.1		34.1
Contingent consideration(7)(8)	3	38.7		38.3

(1) Cash and cash equivalents are stated at nominal value, which equals fair value.

(2) Represents restricted deposits that are used to collateralize our insurance obligations and are stated at nominal value, which equals fair value. These insurance deposits are included in “Other noncurrent assets” on the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 8, “Insurance,” for further information.

(3) Represents investments held in a Rabbi trust associated with one of our deferred compensation plans, which we include in “Other noncurrent assets” on the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the assets held in the funded deferred compensation plan is based on quoted market prices.

(4) Represents gross outstanding borrowings under our Amended Credit Facility. Due to variable interest rates, the carrying value of outstanding borrowings under this facility approximates the fair value. See Note 9, “Credit Facility,” for further information.

(5) Represents interest rate swap derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. The fair values of the interest rate swaps are estimated based on the present value of the difference between expected cash flows calculated at the contracted interest rates and the expected cash flows at current market interest rates using observable benchmarks for the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) forward rates at the end of the period. Our interest rate swap assets and liabilities are included in “Other current assets” and “Other accrued liabilities,” respectively, on the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 9, “Credit Facility,” for further information. Our interest rate swaps will mature in 2026.

(6) During the three months ended October 31, 2025, we purchased a $20.0 million call option to acquire an ownership interest in WGNSTAR. This Acquisition has now been completed—refer to Note 14, “Subsequent Events,” for further information. Our investments do not have a readily determinable fair value; therefore, we account for the investments using the measurement alternative under Topic 321 and measure the investments at initial cost plus or minus fair value adjustments if there are observable prices minus impairment, if any.

(7) Our contingent consideration payable related to the RavenVolt Acquisition is remeasured at each reporting date, based on significant inputs not observable in the market. The contingent consideration payment related to calendar year 2025, which is expected to be made in May 2026, represents a Level 3 measurement at January 31, 2026, and at October 31, 2025, within the fair value hierarchy. After the acquisition date and until the contingency is resolved, the fair value of contingent consideration payable is adjusted each reporting period based primarily on the expected probability of achievement of the contingency targets, which are subject to our estimate. These changes in fair value are recognized within the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” of the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. See Note 3, “Acquisitions,” for further information.

(8) The balance at January 31, 2026, and October 31, 2025, also includes the contingent consideration payable in calendar year 2027 related to the LMC Acquisition.

Non-Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

In addition to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, we are also required to measure certain items at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets can include: goodwill; intangible assets; property, plant and equipment; lease-related ROU assets; and long-lived assets that have been reduced to fair value when they are held for sale. If certain triggering events occur, or if an annual impairment test is required,

then we would evaluate these non-financial assets for impairment. If an impairment were to occur, then the asset would be recorded at the estimated fair value, using primarily unobservable Level 3 inputs.

8. INSURANCE

We use a combination of insured and self-insurance programs to cover workers’ compensation, general liability, automobile liability, property damage, and other insurable risks. For the majority of these insurance programs, we retain the initial $1.0 million to $5.0 million of exposure on a per-occurrence basis, either through deductibles or self-insured retentions. Beyond the retained exposures, we have varying primary policy limits ranging between $1.0 million and $5.0 million per occurrence. To cover general liability and automobile liability losses above these primary limits, we maintain commercial umbrella insurance policies that provide aggregate limits of $200.0 million. Our insurance policies generally cover workers’ compensation losses to the full extent of statutory requirements. Additionally, to cover property damage risks above our retained limits, we maintain policies that provide per occurrence limits of $75.0 million. We are also self-insured for certain employee medical and dental plans. We maintain stop-loss insurance for our self-insured medical plan under which we retain up to $0.5 million of exposure on a per-participant, per-year basis with respect to claims.

We maintain our reserves for workers’ compensation, general liability, automobile liability, and property damage insurance claims based upon known trends and events and the actuarial estimates of required reserves considering the most recently completed actuarial reports. We use all available information to develop our best estimate of insurance claims reserves as information is obtained. The results of actuarial reviews are used to estimate our insurance rates and insurance reserves.

Interim Review Performed During 2026

We review our self-insurance liabilities on a regular basis and adjust our accruals accordingly. Actual claims activity or development may vary from our assumptions and estimates, which may result in material losses or gains. As we obtain additional information that affects the assumptions and estimates used in our reserve liability calculations, we adjust our self-insurance rates and reserves for future periods and, if appropriate, adjust our reserves for claims incurred in prior accounting periods.

During the first quarter of 2026, we performed a review of the majority of our casualty insurance programs that considered changes in claims development and claims payment activity through January 31, 2026. Based on the results of the review, it was determined that there was no adjustment required for our total reserves related to prior years during the three months ended January 31, 2026. There was no adjustment required for total reserves related to prior years during the three months ended January 31, 2025.

Long-term debt	$	1,600.8	$	1,537.1

(1) At January 31, 2026, and October 31, 2025, the weighted average interest rate on all outstanding borrowings, not including letters of credit and swaps, was 5.44% and 5.84%, respectively.

(2) At January 31, 2026, we had borrowing capacity of $507.7 million.

(3) At January 31, 2026, standby letters of credit amounted to $23.5 million.

On September 1, 2017, we refinanced and replaced our then-existing $800.0 million credit facility with a new senior, secured five-year syndicated credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), consisting of a $900.0 million revolving line of credit (the “Revolver”) and an $800.0 million amortizing term loan, both of which matured on September 1, 2022. In accordance with terms of the Credit Facility, the revolver was reduced to $800.0 million on September 1, 2018. The Credit Facility was amended on June 28, 2021, to increase the capacity of the Revolver and term loan to $1.3 billion and $650 million, respectively, and to extend the maturity to June 28, 2026. It was further amended on November 1, 2022, to transition the benchmark interest rate from London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”).

On February 26, 2025, we amended and restated the Credit Facility (the “Amended Credit Facility”), extending the maturity date to February 26, 2030, and increasing the capacity of the revolving credit facility from $1.3 billion to $1.6 billion and the then-remaining term loan outstanding from $528.1 million to $600.0 million. The Amended Credit Facility provides for the issuance of up to $250.0 million for standby letters of credit and the issuance of up to $100.0 million in swingline advances. The obligations under the Amended Credit Facility are guaranteed by the material, domestic wholly owned subsidiaries of ABM and are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the existing and future property and assets of ABM and the guarantors, including a pledge of the capital stock of the wholly owned domestic subsidiaries held by ABM and the guarantors and 65% of the capital stock of the first-tier foreign subsidiaries held by ABM and the guarantors, in each case subject to exceptions. Additionally, we may repay amounts borrowed under the Amended Credit Facility at any time without penalty.

The Amended Credit Facility contains certain covenants, including a maximum total net leverage ratio of 5.00 to 1.00, a maximum secured net leverage ratio of 4.00 to 1.00, and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 1.50 to 1.00, as well as other financial and non-financial covenants. In the event of a material acquisition, as defined in the Amended Credit Facility, we may elect to increase the maximum total net leverage ratio to 5.50 to 1.00 for a total of four fiscal quarters and increase the maximum secured net leverage ratio to 4.50 to 1.00 for a total of four fiscal quarters. Our borrowing capacity is subject to, and limited by, compliance with the covenants described above. At January 31, 2026, we were in compliance with these covenants.

The Amended Credit Facility also includes customary events of default, including: failure to pay principal, interest, or fees when due; failure to comply with covenants; the occurrence of certain material judgments; and a change in control of the Company. If certain events of default occur, including certain cross-defaults, insolvency, change in control, or violation of specific covenants, then the lenders can terminate or suspend our access to the Amended Credit Facility, declare all amounts outstanding (including all accrued interest and unpaid fees) to be immediately due and payable, and require that we cash collateralize the outstanding standby letters of credit.

We incurred deferred financing costs of $8.0 million in conjunction with the execution of the Amended Credit Facility and carried over $2.9 million of unamortized deferred financing costs from initial execution and previous amendments of the Credit Facility. Total deferred financing costs of $10.9 million, consisting of $3.0 million related to the term loan and $7.9 million related to the Revolver, are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Amended Credit Facility.

On February 3, 2026, the Amended Credit Facility was amended to provide for a new incremental term loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to $255.0 million (the “First Incremental Term Loan”). Refer to Note 14, “Subsequent Events,” for further information.

Long-Term Debt Maturities

During the three months ended January 31, 2026, we made principal payments under the term loan of $7.5 million. As of January 31, 2026, the following principal payments are required under the Amended Credit Facility:


(in millions)	2026		2027		2028		2029		2030
Debt maturities	$	22.5	$	30.0	$	30.0	$	30.0	$	1,520.0

Interest Rate Swaps

We utilize interest rate swap agreements to fix the variable interest rates on portions of our debt. The purpose of using these derivatives is to reduce our exposure to the interest rate risk associated with variable borrowings. Under these agreements, we typically pay a fixed interest rate in exchange for a SOFR-based variable interest rate on a given notional amount. All of our interest rate swaps are designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are reported as a component of other comprehensive income and are reclassified into earnings in the period or periods in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. For information regarding the valuation of our interest rate swaps, see Note 7, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments.”

At January 31, 2026, the total amount expected to be reclassified from AOCL to earnings during the next 12 months is a gain of $1.7 million, net of taxes of $0.6 million.

10. COMMON STOCK

Effective September 3, 2025, our Board of Directors expanded our existing share repurchase program by an additional $150.0 million of our common stock. Share repurchases may take place on the open market or otherwise, and all or part of the repurchases may be made pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 plans or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing of repurchases is at our discretion and will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, future cash flows, share price, share availability, and other factors. Repurchased shares are retired and returned to an authorized but unissued status. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

Repurchase Activity

We repurchased shares under the share repurchase program during the three months ended January 31, 2026, as summarized below. At January 31, 2026, authorization for $92.0 million of repurchases remained under our share repurchase program.

(1) Average price paid per share and total cash paid for share repurchases does not include any excise tax for share repurchases as part of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds

We use letters of credit and surety bonds to secure certain commitments related to insurance programs and for other purposes. As of January 31, 2026, these letters of credit totaled $23.5 million and surety bonds and surety-backed letters of credit totaled $1,061.8 million.

Guarantees

In some instances, we offer clients guaranteed energy savings under certain energy savings contracts. At January 31, 2026, total guarantees were $201.2 million and extend through 2045. We include the estimated costs of guarantees in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current, and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us. Historically, we have not incurred any material losses in connection with these guarantees.

Sales Taxes

We collect sales tax from clients and remit those collections to the applicable states. In some cases when clients fail to pay their invoices, including the amount of any sales tax that we paid on their behalf, we may be entitled to seek a refund of that amount of sales tax from the applicable state.

Sales tax laws and regulations enacted by the various states are subject to interpretation, and our compliance with such laws is routinely subject to audit and review by such states. Audit risk is concentrated in several states that are conducting ongoing audits. The outcomes of ongoing and any future audits and changes in the states’ interpretation of the sales tax laws and regulations could materially adversely impact our results of operations.

Legal Matters

We are a party to a number of lawsuits, claims, and proceedings incident to the operation of our business, including those pertaining to labor and employment, contracts, personal injury, and other matters, some of which allege substantial monetary damages. Some of these actions may be brought as class actions on behalf of a class or purported class of employees.

At January 31, 2026, the total amount accrued for probable litigation losses where a reasonable estimate of the loss could be made was $9.2 million. We do not accrue for contingent losses that, in our judgment, are considered to be reasonably possible but not probable. The estimation of reasonably possible losses also requires the analysis of multiple possible outcomes that often depend on judgments about potential actions by third parties. Our management currently estimates the range of loss for all reasonably possible losses for which a reasonable estimate of the loss can be made is between zero and $13.3 million. Factors underlying this estimated range of loss may change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from this estimate.

Litigation outcomes are difficult to predict, and the estimation of probable losses requires the analysis of multiple possible outcomes that often depend on judgments about potential actions by third parties. If one or more matters are resolved in a particular period in an amount in excess of or in a manner different than what we anticipated, this could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In some cases, although a loss is probable or reasonably possible, we cannot reasonably estimate the maximum potential losses for probable matters or the range of losses for reasonably possible matters. Therefore, our accrual for probable losses and our estimated range of loss for reasonably possible losses do not represent our maximum possible exposure.

In determining whether to include any particular lawsuit or other proceeding in our disclosure, we consider both quantitative and qualitative factors. These factors include, but are not limited to: the amount of damages and the nature of any other relief sought in the proceeding; if such damages and other relief are specified, our view of the merits of the claims; whether the action is or purports to be a class action, and our view of the likelihood that a class will be certified by the court; the jurisdiction in which the proceeding is pending; and the potential impact of the proceeding on our reputation.

We are currently not a party to any material legal proceedings, and we are not aware of filings of any pending or contemplated litigation, claims, or assessments. There can be no assurance that future legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business or otherwise will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

12. INCOME TAXES

Our quarterly tax provision is calculated using an estimated annual effective tax rate that is adjusted for discrete items occurring during the period to arrive at our effective tax rate. During the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, we had effective tax rates of 25.6% and 21.4%, respectively. The difference between the estimated annual effective tax rate before discrete items and statutory rate is primarily related to state income taxes, non-deductible compensation, and tax credits.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 2026, was reduced by discrete items, primarily share based compensation. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 2025, was reduced by discrete items, primarily return to provision adjustments related to our non-U.S. operations.

The Work Opportunity Tax Credit (“WOTC”) and Federal Empowerment Zone (“FEZ”) credit are federal tax credits available to employers for hiring individuals from certain targeted groups. The Company has historically benefited from these tax credits, which expired on December 31, 2025. As of January 31, 2026, the credits have not been renewed, and our effective tax rate for the quarter only includes a benefit for those employees who started work before December 31, 2025.

On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), which contains a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting businesses. We do not anticipate a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Pillar Two Model Rules established a minimum global effective tax rate of 15% on country-by-country profits of large multinational companies. European Union member states along with many other countries have adopted or expect to adopt the OECD Pillar Two Model effective January 1, 2024, or thereafter. The OECD and other countries continue to publish guidelines and legislation that include transition and safe harbor rules. We continue to monitor new legislative changes and assess the global impact of the Pillar Two Model Rules. Based on our initial assessment, Pillar Two should not have a material impact to the Company’s income tax provision.

We plan to reinvest our foreign earnings to fund future non-U.S. growth and expansion, and we do not anticipate remitting such earnings to the United States.

Contracts for this segment are generally structured as electrical contracting services for energy related products such as the installation of solar solutions, battery storage, distributed generation, and other specialized electric trade.

The accounting policies for our segments are the same as those disclosed within our significant accounting policies in Note 2, “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies.” Our management evaluates the performance of each reportable segment based on its respective operating profit results, which include the allocation of certain centrally incurred costs. Corporate expenses not allocated to segments include certain CEO and other finance and human resource departmental expenses, certain information technology costs, share-based compensation, certain legal costs and settlements, restructuring and related costs, certain actuarial adjustments to self-insurance reserves, and direct acquisition costs.

As of January 31, 2026, the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Makers (the “CODMs”), consisting of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Operating Officer, evaluate the performance of ABM’s operating segments and allocate resources based on segment operating profit and revenue. These metrics are regularly reviewed as part of ABM’s internal reporting package.

Segment operating profits are used to allocate resources, including investment spending, primarily as part of the annual budget process. On a monthly basis, the CODMs review budget-to-actual variances to assess performance, monitor trends, and compare results across segments. Segment performance is also considered in the determination of incentive compensation for segment leadership. Segment asset information is not provided to the CODMs, nor is it used in evaluating segment performance or making resource allocation decisions. Accordingly, segment assets are not disclosed in this note.

The following tables present the measure of profit or loss used by the CODMs, along with other significant segment items that are regularly provided and used in managing the business:

14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent Amendment of Amended Credit Facility and Closing of WGNSTAR Acquisition

On February 3, 2026, we incurred $255.0 million of the First Incremental Term Loan, pursuant to an amendment to the Amended Credit Facility. The initial applicable rate with respect to the First Incremental Term Loan shall be Term SOFR plus 2.0% per annum. Beginning on the first adjustment date occurring after the delivery of a compliance certificate for the fiscal quarter of the Company ending April 30, 2026, the applicable rate with respect to the First Incremental Term Loan will be determined pursuant to the applicable pricing grid set forth in the Amended Credit Facility. The other terms and conditions that apply to the First Incremental Term Loan are substantially the same as the terms and conditions that apply to the other term loans outstanding under the Amended Credit Facility.

On February 4, 2026, we consummated the acquisition of WGNSTAR for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $264 million in cash (subject to customary working capital adjustments). We financed the acquisition with borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility. WGNSTAR is a provider of managed workforce solutions and equipment support services for the semiconductor and high-technology industries across the U.S. and Ireland. The acquisition will be accounted for under the acquisition method. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recognized on the date of acquisition at their estimated fair values, with the excess of the purchase price recorded as goodwill. The purchase price allocation will be subject to adjustments within the measurement period not to exceed one year from the acquisition date.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to facilitate an understanding of the results of operations and financial condition of ABM. This MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our Financial Statements and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2025, which has been filed with the SEC. This MD&A contains forward-looking statements about our business, operations, and industry that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements regarding our plans, objectives, expectations, and intentions. Our future results and financial condition may be materially different from those we currently anticipate. See “Forward-Looking Statements” for more information.

Throughout the MD&A, amounts and percentages may not recalculate due to rounding. Unless otherwise indicated, all information in the MD&A and references to years are based on our fiscal years, which end on October 31.

Business Overview

ABM is a leading provider of integrated facility solutions, customized by industry, with a mission to make a difference, every person, every day.

In 2021, we launched our multiyear ELEVATE transformation and systems modernization plan to strengthen our industry leadership, enhance our core service capabilities, and modernize our systems, processes, and tools — with a goal of advancing data integrity, technology enablement, and operational consistency to support long-term growth and value creation.

As this work progresses, ABM is entering a phase of turning modernization efforts into measurable performance improvements across our enterprise.

Looking ahead, ABM will continue to advance this transformation and modernization program where appropriate while optimizing systems and processes company-wide that we expect to drive performance, strengthen client trust, and create long-term value for shareholders.

Restructuring Program

In the fourth quarter of 2025, we launched a Restructuring Program to further streamline our operations and improve the efficiency of our support functions. This initiative is intended to enhance overall organizational effectiveness and ensure alignment between our cost structure and strategic growth objectives. Once fully implemented in 2026, this program is expected to deliver approximately $35.0 million of annualized cost savings. We recognized $17.1 million of cumulative restructuring charges under this program through the first quarter of 2026. The range of the remaining costs to be incurred related to the Restructuring Program cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

We will continue to review our overhead and cost structure for efficiency opportunities under this program.

Key Financial Highlights

•Revenues increased by $128.6 million, or 6.1%, to $2,243.5 million during the three months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to the prior year period. Revenue growth was comprised of organic growth of 5.5% and acquisition growth of 0.6%. The organic revenue growth was due to net new business and expansion of business with existing customers among all our industry groups, as well as higher project and recurring services revenues associated with mission-critical infrastructure and data center solutions within Technical Solutions. Acquisition growth was driven by a $13.0 million revenue increase from the LMC Acquisition.

•We had a decrease in operating profit of $2.9 million, to $74.7 million, during the three months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily attributed to:

◦restructuring charges incurred during the first quarter of 2026 under our Restructuring Program; and

◦service mix and timing of the completion of certain projects due to temporary weather related delays in Technical Solutions.

The decrease was partially offset by:

◦operational efficiencies, including cost savings realized from initiatives implemented under our Restructuring Program.

•Our effective tax rates for the three months ended January 31, 2026, and January 31, 2025, were 25.6% and 21.4%, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 2026, was reduced by discrete items, primarily share based compensation. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 2025, was reduced by discrete items, primarily return to provision adjustments related to our non-U.S. operations.

•Net cash provided by operating activities was $62.0 million for the three months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to cash used in operating activities of $106.2 million for the three months ended January 31, 2025. The $168.2 million improvement was primarily driven by favorable changes in working capital, including improved cash collections and timing of payments.

•Dividends of $17.3 million were paid to shareholders, and dividends totaling $0.290 per common share were declared during the three months ended January 31, 2026. Additionally, we repurchased 2.1 million shares for $91.1 million, excluding excise taxes, during the three months ended January 31, 2026.

•At January 31, 2026, total outstanding borrowings under our Amended Credit Facility were $1.6 billion. At January 31, 2026, we had up to $507.7 million of borrowing capacity.

Revenues

Revenues increased by $128.6 million, or 6.1%, to $2,243.5 million during the three months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to the prior year period. Revenue growth was comprised of organic growth of 5.5% and acquisition growth of 0.6%. The organic revenue growth was due to net new business and expansion of business with existing customers among all our industry groups, as well as higher project and recurring services revenues associated with mission-critical infrastructure and data center solutions within Technical Solutions. Acquisition growth was driven by a $13.0 million revenue increase from the LMC Acquisition.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased by $128.4 million, or 6.9%, to $1,983.5 million during the three months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to the prior year period. Gross margin decreased by 69 bps to 11.6% in the three months ended January 31, 2026, from 12.3% in the prior year period. The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by strategic pricing decisions for contract rebids within B&I, service mix within M&D and Technical Solutions, and weather-related disruptions in Aviation and Technical Solutions. This was partially offset by operational efficiencies achieved through our Restructuring Program as well as positive operational impacts from weather-related disruptions within Education.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $0.8 million, or 0.4%, to $169.8 million during the three months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to the prior year period. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to:

•a $2.5 million increase in costs associated with systems’ go-live.

The increase was partially offset by:

•a $2.4 million decrease in accruals for potential legal settlements.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets decreased by $1.4 million, or 10.0%, to $11.9 million during the three months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to certain intangibles acquired as part of the Able and GCA acquisitions.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by $1.1 million, or 4.9%, to $24.0 million during the three months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to the prior year period, and was driven by higher borrowings from our Amended Credit Facility to fund working capital requirements.

Income Taxes from Operations

Our effective tax rates from income on operations for the three months ended January 31, 2026, and January 31, 2025, were 25.6% and 21.4%, respectively, resulting in provisions for taxes of $13.4 million and $11.9 million, respectively.

The WOTC and FEZ credit are federal tax credits available to employers for hiring individuals from certain targeted groups. We have historically benefited from these credits, and they expired on December 31, 2025. As of January 31, 2026, the credits have not been renewed and our effective tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 2026, includes a benefit only for those employees who started work before December 31, 2025. Any extension or renewal of the WOTC and FEZ credit is subject to future legislative action by Congress and would occur retroactively.

Interest Rate Swaps

We had a loss of $1.9 million on interest rate swaps during the three months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to a loss of $1.1 million during the three months ended January 31, 2025, primarily due to underlying changes in the fair value of our interest rate swaps.

Foreign Currency Translation

We had a foreign currency translation gain of $9.5 million during the three months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to a foreign currency translation loss of $7.6 million during the three months ended January 31, 2025. This change was due to fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar (“USD”) and the British pound sterling (“GBP”). Future gains and losses on foreign currency translation will be dependent upon changes in the relative value of foreign currencies to the USD and the extent of our foreign assets and liabilities.

Revenue growth was comprised of organic growth of 7.1% and acquisition growth of 6.4%. The organic revenue growth was primarily driven by our Mission Critical business, reflecting higher project and recurring services revenues associated with mission-critical infrastructure and data center solutions. Acquisition growth was driven by a $13.0 million revenue increase from the LMC Acquisition.

Operating profit decreased by $8.2 million, or 49.0%, to $8.4 million during the three months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to the prior year period.

Corporate expenses decreased by $1.3 million, or 1.6%, to $81.9 million during the three months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to the prior year period. The decrease in corporate expenses was primarily attributable to:

•a $4.8 million decrease in accruals for potential legal settlements.

The decrease was partially offset by:

•a $3.7 million increase in restructuring charges under our Restructuring Program.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are operating cash flows and borrowing capacity under our Amended Credit Facility. We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our short- and long-term cash requirements. As such, we project our anticipated cash requirements as well as cash flows generated from operating activities to meet those needs.

In addition to normal working capital requirements, we anticipate that our short- and long-term cash requirements will include funding legal settlements, insurance claims, dividend payments, capital expenditures, share repurchases, mandatory loan repayments, contingent consideration payments from acquisitions, and systems and technology transformation initiatives under our ELEVATE strategy. We anticipate long-term cash uses may also include strategic acquisitions. On a long-term basis, we will continue to rely on our Amended Credit Facility for any long-term funding not provided by operating cash flows.

We believe that our operating cash flows and borrowing capacity under our Amended Credit Facility are sufficient to fund our cash requirements for the next 12 months. In the event that our plans change or our cash requirements are greater than we anticipate, we may need to access the capital markets to finance future cash requirements. However, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available to us should we need it or, if available, that the terms will be satisfactory to us and not dilutive to existing shareholders.

Credit Facility

On September 1, 2017, we refinanced and replaced our then-existing $800.0 million credit facility with a new senior, secured five-year syndicated credit facility, consisting of a $900.0 million revolver and an $800.0 million amortizing term loan. In accordance with terms of the Credit Facility, the revolver was reduced to $800.0 million on September 1, 2018. On February 26, 2025, we amended and restated the Credit Facility (the “Amended Credit Facility”), extending the maturity date to February 26, 2030, and increasing the capacity of the revolving credit facility from $1.3 billion to $1.6 billion and the then-remaining term loan outstanding from $528.1 million to $600.0 million. The Amended Credit Facility provides for the issuance of up to $250.0 million for standby letters of credit and the issuance of up to $100.0 million in swingline advances.

During the three months ended January 31, 2026, we made principal payments under the term loan of $7.5 million. At January 31, 2026, the total outstanding borrowings under our Amended Credit Facility in the form of cash borrowings and standby letters of credit were $1.6 billion and $23.5 million, respectively, and our weighted average interest rate on all outstanding borrowings, excluding letters of credit, was 5.44%. At January 31, 2026, we had up to $507.7 million of borrowing capacity.

Reinvestment of Foreign Earnings

We plan to reinvest our foreign earnings to fund future non-U.S. growth and expansion, and we do not anticipate remitting such earnings to the United States.

IFM Insurance Company

IFM Assurance Company (“IFM”) is a wholly owned captive insurance company that we formed in 2015. IFM is part of our enterprise-wide, multiyear insurance strategy that is intended to better position our risk and safety programs and provide us with increased flexibility in the end-to-end management of our insurance programs. IFM began providing coverage to us as of January 1, 2015.

Share Repurchases

We repurchased shares under the share repurchase program during the three months ended January 31, 2026, as summarized below. Share repurchases may take place on the open market or otherwise, and all or part of the repurchases may be made pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 plans or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing of repurchases is at our discretion and will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, future cash flows, share price, share availability, and other factors. Repurchased shares are retired and returned to an authorized but unissued status. The share repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. At January 31, 2026, authorization for $92.0 million of repurchases remained under our share repurchase program.

Total number of shares purchased	2.07		0.42
Average price paid per share(1)	$	44.13	$	51.23

(1) Average price paid per share and total cash paid for share repurchases does not include any excise tax for share repurchases as part of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

Cash Flows

In addition to revenues and operating profit, our management views operating cash flows as a good indicator of financial performance, because strong operating cash flows provide opportunities for growth both organically and through acquisitions. Operating cash flows primarily depend on: revenue levels; the quality and timing of collections of accounts receivable; the timing of payments to suppliers and other vendors; the timing and amount of income tax payments; and the timing and amount of payments on insurance claims and legal settlements.

Net cash used in investing activities	(12.6)		(14.4)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities	(55.2)		116.9

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $62.0 million for the three months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to cash used in operating activities of $106.2 million for the three months ended January 31, 2025. The $168.2 million improvement was primarily driven by favorable changes in working capital, including improved cash collections and timing of payments.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $1.8 million during the three months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to lower purchases of property, plant and equipment.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $55.2 million during the three months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $116.9 million during the three months ended January 31, 2025. This quarter’s activity was primarily related to an increase in share repurchases and lower net borrowings from our Amended Credit Facility.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

There are no material changes related to market risk from the disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2025.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

a. Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

b. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

To support the growth of our financial shared service capabilities and standardize our financial systems, we continue to update several key platforms, including our HR information systems, enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system, and labor management system. The implementation of several key platforms involves changes in the systems that include internal controls. During the third quarter of 2023 and first quarter of 2025, we had a change in our internal control over financial reporting as a result of our implementation of a new ERP and key boundary systems for the Education, Business & Industry, and Manufacturing & Distribution industry groups that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. The new ERP system and key boundary systems for these industry groups is replacing our legacy system in which a significant portion of our business transactions originate, are processed, and recorded. The rest of our industry groups will transition to our new ERP system and key boundary systems over the next several years. Our new ERP system and key boundary systems are intended to provide us with enhanced transactional processing and management tools, as compared with our legacy system, and is intended to enhance internal control over financial reporting. We believe our new ERP system and key boundary systems will facilitate better transactional reporting and oversight, enhance our internal control over financial reporting, and function as an important component of our disclosure controls and procedures. Although some of the transitions have proceeded to date without material adverse effects, the possibility exists that they could adversely affect our internal control over financial reporting and procedures.

There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter of 2026 identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
