Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $80.8 million, an increase of $14.3 million, or 21.5%, compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily driven by increases in capitalized software and capex expenditure of $26.0 million and $9.6 million, respectively. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in cash used for acquisitions by $17.6 million

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $44.2 million, a decrease of $114.9 million, or 72.2%, compared to the same period in the prior year. This decline was primarily driven by a decrease of $141.7 million in net proceeds borrowed under the Credit Agreement (as defined and discussed in Note 8 of the Notes included herein) and increases in debt financing cost and shares repurchases of $3.8 million and $3.9 million, respectively. The decline was partially offset by decreases in distributions to noncontrolling interests and payments of deferred consideration of $18.6 million and $12.6 million, respectively. 

Liquidity

The Company expects to maintain sufficient cash and/or available borrowings to fund operations for the next twelve months and subsequent periods. The Company has historically maintained and expanded its business using cash generated from operating activities, funds available under the Credit Agreement, and other initiatives, such as obtaining additional debt and equity financing. On April 23, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement, which increased the limit of borrowing to $750 million and extended the maturity date to April 30, 2030, as described in more detail in Note 8 of the Notes included herein. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $438.3 million of borrowings outstanding and $14.9 million of issued and undrawn letters of credit, resulting in $296.7 million unused borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement.
