Executive summary
Fiscal 2025 marked a pivotal year with a narrowed net loss to $79.8 million from $206.1 million, driven by operational improvements, cost rationalization, and a back-to-basic strategy.
Adjusted EBITDA for the year was $198.8 million, down 4% year-over-year, but up 4% when excluding Fortress contingent consideration.
Net total debt reduced by 14% ($125 million) to $772.5 million, with successful refinancing extending debt maturities and enhancing liquidity.
Corporate cost rationalization, including workforce reductions and winding down the Fortress business, led to an 18% SG&A reduction.
Leadership and organizational changes aligned with operational improvement and profitability goals.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
