Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our foreseeable material cash requirements as of June 30, 2025, are recognized as liabilities or generally are otherwise described in Note 15, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein. In particular, our facilities lease obligations, guarantees and certain contingent obligations are further described in Note 15 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

In addition, the obligations of our Energy Operations Business related to the Benchmark Revolving Credit Facility and the obligations of our Manufacturing Operations Business related to the Deflecto Term Loan are further described in Note 11 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Our management believes that our cash and cash equivalent balances and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements through at least twelve months from the date of this Quarterly Report and for the foreseeable future. We may, however
