 in amortization of intangibles expense (comprised of technology and customer relationships) in both the first nine months of 2025 and the first nine months of 2024. 

Non-Operating (Income) Expenses

Non-operating expenses increased $2.9 million to $40.2 million for the first nine months of 2025. The increase was primarily attributed to the write-off of $1.5 million of deferred financing costs associated with the 2018 ABL Credit Facility in the first nine months of 2025 that did not occur in the first nine months of 2024. The increase was also partly attributed to a $1.3 million increase in amortization of deferred financing costs in comparison to the first nine months of 2024. 

Provision (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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA (which is net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) further adjusted for (i) goodwill, intangible asset, and/or property and equipment impairment charges, (ii) transaction and integration costs related to acquisitions, (iii) loss or gain on revaluation of contingent liabilities, (iv) loss or gain on extinguishment of debt
