vision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

We recorded an income tax benefit of $0.3 million for the first nine months of 2025 compared to an income tax provision of $0.4 million for the first nine months of 2024. The difference between the periods was primarily attributed to a $0.5 million discrete income tax benefit in the first nine months of 2025 that did not occur in the first nine months of 2024.

Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA

Net loss decreased $0.1 million, or less than 1%, to $32.1 million for the first nine months of 2025, and Adjusted EBITDA increased $1.2 million, or 3%, to $40.3 million for the first nine months of 2025. The changes were primarily due to the fluctuations in revenues and expenses discussed above. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for further information regarding Adjusted EBITDA.

Management believes Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to us and our investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it allows us and them to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period without regard to our financing methods or capital structure and helps identify underlying trends in our operations that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of impairments
