Filing receipts
“This increase was largely driven by increases in revenue and profits and changes in working capital.”
“The increase was primarily driven by the additional balance taken out on our First Lien Credit Facility to help fund the Iodine acquisition completed on October 1, 2025, resulting in an increase to the corresponding interest expense.”
“The increase was driven by $6.7 million in increased costs stemming from higher transaction volume and associated third-party costs, including higher platform usage, of which approximately $4.7 million was from third-party costs associated with provider solutions and $2.0 million was third-party costs associated with payment solutions.”
