#### Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and loss during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Please refer to Note 2 "*Summary of Significant Accounting Policies*" of the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2025, for a more detailed discussion of our significant accounting policies. There were no material changes to these significant accounting policies during the six months ended March 31, 2026.

**3. ACCOUNTING FOR PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM LOANS**

During April 2023, management received notification from the SBA that one of the Company's forgiveness applications related to the PPP Loans was under review. As part of the review, the SBA requested additional payroll information. Additionally, the SBA requested information regarding the ability of the Company's affiliates to meet SBA size standards and/or PPP corporate maximum limits. The requested information was subsequently provided to the SBA through the Lender. The Company recognizes that there is a possibility that the SBA could reverse its previous determination on the forgiveness of the PPP Loans. As a result of this uncertainty, the Company restated the previously issued audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years 2022 and 2021. The Company has recorded a short-term borrowing due to the SBA inquiry for the full $9.8 million, plus accrued interest for all periods presented.

During July 2023, management received notification from the SBA that two additional forgiveness applications related to the PPP Loans were under review. As part of the review, the SBA requested information regarding the ability of the Company's affiliates to meet SBA size standards and/or PPP corporate maximum limits. The requested information was subsequently provided to the SBA through the Lender. As of March 31, 2026, there have been no further requests or communications from the SBA relating to the PPP Loans.

Borrowers must retain PPP documentation for at least six years after the date the loan is forgiven or paid in full, and the SBA and SBA Inspector General must be granted these files upon request. The SBA could revisit its forgiveness decision and determine that the Company does not qualify as a whole or in part for loan forgiveness and demand repayment of the loans. In addition, it is unknown what type of penalties could be assessed against the Company if the SBA disagrees with the Company's certification. Any penalties in addition to the potential repayment of the PPP Loans could negatively impact the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations and prospects.

**4. REVENUE RECOGNITION**

Our revenue is primarily derived from construction contracts that can span several quarters. We recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers* ("ASC 606" or "Topic 606") which provides for a five-step model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers as follows:

● Identify the contract

● Identify performance obligations

● Determine the transaction price

● Allocate the transaction price

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

● Recognize revenue

The accuracy of our revenue and profit recognition in a given period depends on the accuracy of our estimates of the cost to complete each project. We believe our experience allows us to create materially reliable estimates. There are a number of factors that can contribute to changes in estimates of contract cost and profitability. The most significant of these include:

● the completeness and accuracy of the original bid;

● costs associated with scope changes;

● changes in costs of labor and/or materials;

● extended overhead and other costs due to owner, weather and other delays;

● subcontractor performance issues;

● changes in productivity expectations;

● site conditions that differ from those assumed in the original bid;

● changes from original design on design-build projects;

● the availability and skill level of workers in the geographic location of the project;

● a change in the availability and proximity of equipment and materials;

● our ability to fully and promptly recover on affirmative claims and back charges for additional contract costs; and

● the customer's ability to properly administer the contract.

The foregoing factors, as well as the stage of completion of contracts in process and the mix of contracts at different margins may cause fluctuations in gross profit from period to period. Significant changes in cost estimates, particularly in our larger, more complex projects, could have a significant effect on our profitability.

Our contract assets include cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings that represent amounts earned and reimbursable under contracts, including claim recovery estimates, but have a conditional right for billing and payment such as achievement of milestones or completion of the project. With the exception of customer affirmative claims, generally, such unbilled amounts will become billable according to the contract terms and generally will be billed and collected over the next three months. Settlement with the customer of outstanding affirmative claims is dependent on the claims resolution process and could extend beyond one year. Based on our historical experience, we generally consider the collection risk related to billable amounts to be low. When events or conditions indicate that it is probable that the amounts outstanding become unbillable, the transaction price and associated contract asset is reduced.

Our contract liabilities consist of provisions for losses and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings. Provisions for losses, if incurred, are recognized in the consolidated statements of income at the uncompleted performance obligation level for the amount of total estimated losses in the period that evidence indicates that the estimated total cost of a performance obligation exceeds its estimated total revenue. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings are billings to customers on contracts in advance of work performed, including advance payments negotiated as a contract condition. Generally, unearned project-related costs will be earned over the next twelve months.

**5. SEGMENT INFORMATION**

Energy Services' operations are managed by senior executives who report to the Company's President and CEO (the "President"), the chief operating decision maker. The President uses operating income for each of Energy Services' reportable segments and considers forecast to actual variances to assess performance and when making decisions about allocating capital and other resources.

Energy Services' reportable segments are: Underground Infrastructure Construction, Industrial Construction, and Building Construction.

Underground Infrastructure Construction primarily includes new construction and maintenance work in the following areas: water and wastewater pipelines, natural gas distribution pipelines, natural gas transmission pipelines, natural gas stations and ancillary facilities, corrosion protection services, and horizontal drilling services.

Industrial Constructions primarily includes new construction and maintenance work in the following areas: electrical, mechanical, HVAC/R, controls, and fire protection services in automotive, chemical, power, and manufacturing facilities.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Building Construction primarily includes new construction and rehabilitation activities in the following areas: school projects, local and state building projects, and small bridge projects. Most services performed by the legal entity in this segment are subcontracted both to outside contractors and internally to other legal entities within the Company. Services subcontracted internally are eliminated from segmented reporting.

Energy Services' segment results are derived from the types of services provided across its operating companies in each of its end-user markets. The Company's business model allows multiple operating companies to serve the same or similar customers and to provide a range of services across end-user markets. Reportable segment information, including revenues and operating income by type of work, is gathered from each operating company. Classification of operating company revenues by type of work for segment reporting purposes can require judgment on the part of management. Segment operating expenses (excluding depreciation expense) primarily include cost of services, such as wages and benefits; subcontractor costs; materials; certain equipment rental and maintenance costs, and other direct and indirect project costs.

Separate measures of the Company's assets and cash flows by reportable segment, including capital expenditures, are utilized by the President to evaluate segment performance since the Company's fixed assets are not used on an interchangeable basis across its reportable segments.

Corporate and non-allocated costs include non-allocated corporate salaries, benefits and incentive compensation, acquisition and integration costs, non-cash stock-based compensation, investor relation expenses, and accounting review and audit fees.

The following tables show interim segment financial information for the three and six months ended and at March 31, 2026:

The Company's disaggregated revenue does vary slightly from the Company's segment reporting due to combining the Industrial and Building Construction into Electrical, Mechanical, & and General, and one legal entity in the Underground Infrastructure Construction segment that performs services other than underground construction that are included in Electrical, Mechanical, & General. The volume of these services is not material to the Company's segment reporting.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

**7. CONTRACT BALANCES**

The Company's accounts receivable consists of amounts that have been billed to customers and collateral is generally not required. Most of the Company's contracts have monthly billing terms; however, billing terms for some are based on project completion. Payment terms are generally within 30 to 45 days after invoices have been issued. The Company attempts to negotiate two-week billing terms and 15-day payment terms on larger projects. The timing of billings to customers may generate contract assets or contract liabilities.

During the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, we recognized revenue of $11.2 million and $25.9 million, respectively, that was included in the contract liability balance at September 30, 2025.

Accounts receivable-trade, net of allowance for credit losses, contract assets and contract liabilities consisted of the following:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | March 31, 2026 | September 30, 2025 | Change |
| Accounts receivable-trade, net of allowance for credit losses | $60068636 | $76048448 | $(15979812) |
| Contract assets |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings | $26773714 | $34455011 | $(7681297) |
| Contract liabilities |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Billings in excess of cost and estimated earnings | $29474281 | $28318765 | $1155516 |

---

**8. PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS**

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, there was no significant revenue recognized as a result of changes in contract transaction price related to performance obligations that were satisfied prior to September 30, 2025. Changes in contract transaction price can result from items such as executed or estimated change orders, and unresolved contract modifications and claims.

At March 31, 2026, the Company had $256.6 million in remaining unsatisfied performance obligations, in which revenue is expected to be recognized over the next twelve months.

**9. UNCOMPLETED CONTRACTS**

Costs, estimated earnings, and billings on uncompleted contracts as of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, are summarized as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | March 31, 2026 | September 30, 2025 |
| Costs incurred on contracts in progress | $478785961 | $471208654 |
| Estimated earnings, net of estimated losses | 80553250 | 71159322 |
|  | 559339211 | 542367976 |
| Less billings to date | 562039778 | 536231730 |
|  | $(2700567) | $6136246 |
| Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billed on uncompleted contracts | $26773714 | $34455011 |
| Less billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts | 29474281 | 28318765 |
|  | $(2700567) | $6136246 |

**10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS**

The fair value measurement guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASC 820, *Fair Measurement* defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and specifies disclosures about fair value measurements.

Under the FASB's authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement guidance of the FASB ASC establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

**Level 1** — Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange.

**Level 2** — Observable inputs other than Level 1 include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in less active markets, or other observable inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 2 also includes derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with observable market inputs or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

**Level 3** — Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity for financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation; also includes observable inputs for nonbinding single dealer quotes not corroborated by observable market data.

A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The carrying amount for borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility approximates fair value because of the variable market interest rate charged to the Company for these borrowings. The fair value of the Company's long term fixed-rate debt was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis and a yield rate that was estimated based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and maturities. The fair value of the aggregate principal amount of the Company's fixed-rate debt of $31.4 million at March 31, 2026 was $31.1 million. The fair value of the aggregate principal amount of the Company's fixed-rate debt of $43.8 million at September 30, 2025 was $42.8 million.

All other current assets and liabilities are carried at net realizable value which approximates fair value because of their short duration to maturity.

---

The Company's income tax expense and deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect management's best estimate of current and future taxes to be paid. Significant judgments and estimates are required in the determination of the consolidated income tax expense. The Company's provision for income taxes is computed by applying a federal rate of 21.0% and a blended state rate of approximately 5.0% to 6.0% to taxable income or loss after consideration of non-taxable and non-deductible items.

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 47.7%, as compared to 24.5%, for the same period in 2025. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended March 31, 2026 was 31.3%, as compared to 22.8%, for the same period in 2025. Effective income tax rates are estimates and may vary from period to period due to changes in the amount of taxable income and non-deductible expenses.

Major items that can affect the effective tax rate include amortization of goodwill and intangible assets and non-deductible amounts for per diem expenses.

The income tax effects of temporary differences giving rise to the deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | March 31, 2026 | September 30, 2025 |
| Deferred tax liabilities |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Property and equipment | $10537214 | $10057004 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Other | 1454053 | 1483362 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total deferred tax liabilities | $11991267 | $11540366 |
| Deferred income tax assets |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Accruals & Other | $2691302 | $3215102 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Net operating loss carryforward-Federal | 1280607 | 1451126 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Net operating loss carryforward-States | 807260 | 824539 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Net operating loss valuation allowance-States | (703928) | (703928) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total deferred tax assets | $4075241 | $4786839 |
| Total net deferred tax liabilities | $7916026 | $6753527 |

---

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements, which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company had $6.1 million and $6.9 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards at March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively. The Company had $35.1 million and $41.9 million of state net operating loss carryforwards at March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively. The state net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2026.

The Company does not believe that it has any unrecognized tax benefits included in its consolidated financial statements that require recognition. The Company has not had any settlements in the current period with taxing authorities, nor has it recognized tax benefits as a result of a lapse of the applicable statute of limitations. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits, if applicable, in general and administrative expenses.

13. SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM DEBT

**Operating Line of Credit**

In July 2025, the Company renewed its $30.0 million line of credit with a maturity date of June 28, 2027. The interest rate on the line of credit is the "*Wall Street Journal*" Prime Rate (the index) with a floor of 4.99%.

The line of credit is limited to a borrowing base calculation as summarized below:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | March 31, 2026 | September 30, 2025 |
| Eligible borrowing base | $18196189 | $27657997 |
| Borrowings on line of credit |  | 24750000 |
| Line of credit balance available | $18196189 | $2907997 |
| Interest rate | 6.75% | 7.50% |

---

The Company did not have any line of credit borrowings at March 31, 2026. The Company's $24.8 million line of credit borrowings are recorded as a long-term debt as of September 30, 2025.

The financial covenants required by the Company's lender are below:

● Minimum tangible net worth of $28.0 million,

● Minimum traditional debt service coverage of 1.50x on a rolling twelve- month basis,

● Minimum current ratio of 1.20x ,

● Maximum debt to tangible net worth ratio ("TNW") of 2.75x ,

● Each ratio and covenant shall be determined, tested, and measured as of each calendar quarter beginning June 30, 2023,

● The Company shall maintain a ratio of Maximum Senior Funded Debt ("SFD") to Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBDITA") equal to or less than 3.5 :1. SFD shall mean any funded debt or lease of the Company, other than subordinated debt. The covenant shall be tested quarterly, at the end of each fiscal quarter, with EBITDA based on the preceding four quarters.

The Company's lender has agreed to omit the effect of the PPP loan restatement from the Company's covenant compliance calculations while a final decision on PPP loan forgiveness remains in question. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at March 31, 2026. The Company is projected to meet all covenant requirements for the next twelve months.

**Paycheck Protection Program Loans**

During April 2023, management received notification from the SBA that one of the Company's forgiveness applications related to the PPP Loans was under review. As part of the review, the SBA requested additional payroll information. Additionally, the SBA requested information regarding the ability of the Company's affiliates to meet SBA size standards and/or PPP corporate maximum limits. The requested information was subsequently provided to the SBA through the Lender. The Company recognizes that there is a possibility that the SBA could reverse its previous determination on the forgiveness of the PPP Loans. As a result of this uncertainty, the Company restated the previously issued audited financial statements of the Company for fiscal 2022 and 2021. The Company has recorded a short-term borrowing due to the SBA inquiry for the full $9.8 million, plus accrued interest.

During July 2023, management received notification from the SBA that two additional forgiveness applications related to the PPP Loans were under review. As part of the review, the SBA requested information regarding the ability of the Company's affiliates to meet SBA size standards and/or PPP corporate maximum limits. The requested information was subsequently provided to the SBA through the Lender. As of March 31, 2026, there have been no further requests or communications from the SBA relating to the PPP Loans.

Borrowers must retain PPP documentation for at least six years after the date the loan is forgiven or paid in full, and the SBA and SBA Inspector General must be granted these files upon request. The SBA could revisit its forgiveness decision and determine that the Company does not qualify in whole or in part for loan forgiveness and demand repayment of the loans. In addition, it is unknown what type of penalties could be assessed against the Company if the SBA disagrees with the Company's certification. Any penalties in addition to the potential repayment of the PPP Loans could negatively impact the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations and prospects.

14. ACQUISITIONS

**Energy Services accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method in accordance with ASC Topic 805 "Business Combinations". Accordingly, for the transaction, the purchase price is allocated to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition. In conjunction with ASC 805, upon receipt of final fair value estimates during the measurement period, which must be within one year of the acquisition date, Energy Services records any adjustments to the preliminary fair value estimates in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined.**

**On December 2, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all the physical assets of Tribute Contracting & Consultants, LLC ("Tribute LLC"), an Ohio corporation located in South Point, Ohio for $21.2 million cash and $2.0 million in the Company's common stock. ASC 805-10-50-2 requires public companies that present comparative financial statements to present pro forma financial statements as though the business combination that occurred during the current fiscal year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. As allowed under ASC 805-10-50-2, the Company finds this information impracticable to provide for the periods presented due to the lack of availability of meaningful financial statements of the acquired companies that comply with U.S. GAAP.**

15. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company follows the guidance of ASC Topic 350, *Intangibles-Goodwill and Other*, which requires a company to record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount of goodwill over its fair value. Under the current guidance, companies can first choose to assess any impairment based on qualitative factors (Step 0). If a company fails this test or decides to bypass this step, it must proceed with a quantitative assessment of goodwill impairment. The Company did not have a goodwill impairment at March 31, 2026 or September 30, 2025.

A table of the Company's goodwill as of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025 is below:

**17. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION**

The Company has a stock-based compensation plan, under which restricted stock awards are available for issuance to eligible participants. Non-cash stock-based compensation expense is included within general and administrative expense in the consolidated financial statements. Share-based payments are recognized based on their grant date fair values. Forfeitures are recorded as they occur.

Grants of restricted stock awards are valued based on the closing market share price of the Company's common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (the "market price") on the date of grant. Non-cash-based compensation expense arising from restricted shares is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Grants of restricted shares generally vest one-third annually over a period of three years.

Some participants may choose the net share settlement method to cover withholding tax requirements, in which case shares withheld for taxes are not issued, but are treated as common stock repurchases in the consolidated financial statements, as they reduce the number of shares that would have been issued upon vesting. The Company then pays the corresponding withholding taxes to the appropriate taxing authorities in cash on behalf of the recipient. Withheld shares, which are valued at the market price on the date of grant, are recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital, and related payments to taxing authorities are reflected within financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, the Company granted 8,343 and 19,594 shares, respectively, related to restricted stock awards. The Company granted 3,970 shares related to restricted stock awards for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025.

**Seasonality: Fluctuation of Results**

Our revenues and results of operations can and usually are subject to seasonal variations. These variations are the result of weather, customer spending patterns, bidding seasons and holidays. The first quarter of the calendar year is typically the slowest in terms of revenues because inclement weather conditions cause delays in production and customers usually do not plan large projects during that time. While usually better than the first quarter, the second calendar year quarter often has some inclement weather which can cause delays in production, reducing the revenues the Company receives and/or increasing the production costs. The third and fourth calendar year quarters usually are less impacted by weather and usually have the largest number of projects underway. Many projects are completed in the fourth calendar year quarter and revenues are often impacted by customers seeking to either spend their capital budget for the year or scale back projects due to capital budget overruns.

In addition to the fluctuations discussed above, the pipeline industry can be highly cyclical, reflecting variances in capital expenditures in proportion to energy price fluctuations. As a result, our volume of business may be adversely affected by where our customers are in the cycle and thereby their financial condition as to their capital needs and access to capital to finance those needs.

***Underground Infrastructure Construction***

*Revenues.* The $13.7 million and $30.0 million increases in revenues for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same periods in 2025 were primarily due to the Company's focus on growing its natural gas and water distribution business lines. Additionally, natural gas transmission projects started earlier in fiscal year 2026 as compared to fiscal year 2025.

*Income from operations.* The $8.1 million and $11.6 million increases in income from operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025 were primarily due to an increased volume of work and profitability from underground infrastructure projects.

***Industrial Construction***

*Revenues.* The $3.7 million and $2.1 million increases in revenues for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same periods in 2025 were primarily due to an increase in the amount of electrical and mechanical work performed.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

*Income from operations.* The $2.1 million and $1.8 million increases in income from operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025 were primarily due to an increase in industrial work and an increase in profitability.

***Building Construction***

*Revenues.* The $933,000 and $2.2 million decreases in revenues for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025 were primarily due to winding down work on substantially complete projects while bidding on potential new projects with projected start dates in the Company's third quarter of fiscal year 2026.

*Income from operations.* The $1.0 million and $1.1 million decreases in income from operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025 were primarily due to the decreased volume of work completed in the Company's first quarter of fiscal year 2026.

***Corporate and Non-Allocated Costs***

Corporate and Non-Allocated Costs increased by $113,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and decreased by $123,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2026, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2025. The variances are attributed to various factors; however, the Company has added additional safety and risk management personnel at the corporate level.

The Company's disaggregated revenue does vary slightly from the Company's segment reporting due to combining the Industrial and Building Construction into Electrical, Mechanical and General, and one legal entity in the Underground Infrastructure Construction segment that performs services other than underground construction that are included in Electrical, Mechanical and General. The volume of these services is not material to the Company's segment reporting.

The line of credit is limited to a borrowing base calculation as summarized below:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | March 31, 2026 | September 30, 2025 |
| Eligible borrowing base | $18196189 | $27657997 |

| Line of credit balance available | $18196189 | $2907997 |
| Interest rate | 6.75% | 7.50% |

---

The Company did not have any line of credit borrowings at March 31, 2026. The Company's $24.8 million line of credit borrowings are recorded as a long-term debt as of September 30, 2025.

The financial covenants required by the Company's lender are below:

● Minimum tangible net worth of $28.0 million,

● Minimum traditional debt service coverage of 1.50x on a rolling twelve- month basis,

● Minimum current ratio of 1.20x,

● Maximum debt to tangible net worth ratio ("TNW") of 2.75x,

● Each ratio and covenant shall be determined, tested, and measured as of each calendar quarter beginning June 30, 2023,

● The Company shall maintain a ratio of Maximum Senior Funded Debt ("SFD") to Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBDITA") equal to or less than 3.5:1.

The Company was in compliance with all covenants at March 31, 2026. The Company is projected to meet all covenant requirements for the next twelve months.

**Paycheck Protection Program Loans**

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

During April 2023, management received notification from the SBA that one of the Company's forgiveness applications related to the PPP Loans was under review. As part of the review, the SBA requested additional payroll information. Additionally, the SBA requested information regarding the ability of the Company's affiliates to meet SBA size standards and/or PPP corporate maximum limits. The requested information was subsequently provided to the SBA through the Lender. The Company recognizes that there is a possibility that the SBA could reverse its previous determination on the forgiveness of the PPP Loans. As a result of this uncertainty, the Company restated the previously audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years 2022 and 2021. The Company has recorded a short-term borrowing due to the SBA inquiry for the full $9.8 million, plus accrued interest.

During July 2023, management received notification from the SBA that two additional forgiveness applications related to the PPP Loans were under review. As part of the review, the SBA requested information regarding the ability of the Company's affiliates to meet SBA size standards and/or PPP corporate maximum limits. The requested information was subsequently provided to the SBA through the Lender. As of March 31, 2026, there have been no further requests or communications from the SBA relating to the PPP Loans.

Borrowers must retain PPP documentation for at least six years after the date the loan is forgiven or paid in full, and the SBA and SBA Inspector General must be granted these files upon request. The SBA could revisit its forgiveness decision and determine that the Company does not qualify as a whole or in part for loan forgiveness and demand repayment of the loans. In addition, it is unknown what type of penalties could be assessed against the Company if the SBA disagrees with the Company's certification. Any penalties in addition to the potential repayment of the PPP Loans could negatively impact the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations and prospects.

The Company has a right-of-use operating lease acquired on January 1, 2026 for the Oklahoma City, Oklahoma facility. The lease had a net present value of $208,000 at inception and a carrying value of $186,000 at March 31, 2026. The lease bears interest at 6.75%, based on the Company's incremental borrowing rate at inception.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

The Company also has a right-of-use operating lease acquired on January 1, 2026 for the Louisville, Kentucky facility. The lease had a net present value of $128,000 at inception and a carrying value of $128,000 at March 31, 2026. The lease bears interest at 6.75%, based on the Company's incremental borrowing rate at inception. Lease payments do not commence until April 1, 2026.

**Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements**

Due to the nature of our industry, we often enter into certain off-balance sheet arrangements in the ordinary course of business that result in risks not directly reflected in our balance sheets. Though for the most part not material in nature, some of these are:

**Rental Agreements**

The Company rents equipment for use on construction projects with rental agreements week to week or month to month. Rental expense can vary by fiscal year due to equipment requirements on construction projects and the availability of Company owned equipment. Rental expenses, which is included in cost of goods sold on the consolidated statements of income, were $4.8 million and $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively, and $11.8 million and $9.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

**Letters of Credit**

Certain customers or vendors may require letters of credit to secure payments that the vendors are making on our behalf or to secure payments to subcontractors and vendors on various customer projects. At March 31, 2026, the Company did not have any letters of credit outstanding.

**Performance Bonds**

Some customers, particularly new ones or governmental agencies require the Company to post bid bonds, performance bonds and payment bonds (collectively, performance bonds). These performance bonds are obtained through insurance carriers and guarantee to the customer that we will perform under the terms of a contract and that we will pay subcontractors and vendors. If the Company fails to perform under a contract or to pay subcontractors and vendors, the customer may demand that the insurer make payments or provide services under the bond. The Company must reimburse the insurer for any expenses or outlays it is required to make.

Currently, the Company has an agreement with a surety company to provide bonding which will suit the Company's immediate needs. The ability to obtain bonding for future contracts is an important factor in the contracting industry with respect to the type and value of contracts that can be bid. Depending upon the size and conditions of a particular contract, the Company may be required to post letters of credit or other collateral in favor of the insurer. Posting these letters or other collateral will reduce our borrowing capabilities. The Company does not anticipate any claims in the foreseeable future. At March 31, 2026, the Company had $130.6 million in performance bonds outstanding.

**Concentration of Credit Risk**

In the ordinary course of business, the Company grants credit under normal payment terms, generally without collateral, to our customers, which include natural gas and oil companies, general contractors, and various commercial and industrial customers located within the United States. Consequently, the Company is subject to potential credit risk related to business and economic factors that would affect these companies. However, the Company generally has certain statutory lien rights with respect to services provided. Under certain circumstances such as foreclosure, the Company may take title to the underlying assets in lieu of cash in settlement of receivables.

**Litigation**

On November 12, 2021, the Company received a withdrawal liability claim from a pension plan to which the Company made pension contributions for union construction employees performing covered work in a particular jurisdiction. The Company has not performed covered work in their jurisdiction since 2011; however, the Company disagrees with the withdrawal claim and believes it is covered by an exemption under federal law. The demand called for thirty-four quarterly installment payments of $41,000 starting March 15, 2021. The Company complied with the demand according to federal pension law; however, the Company firmly believes no withdrawal liability exists. The Company is in negotiations with the pension fund to resolve the matter and all future payments have been suspended as part of the negotiation. The Company has expensed all $164,000 in payments made through September 30, 2022 and does not expect any future liabilities related to this claim. The Company did not make any payments during the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025.

Other than described above, at March 31, 2026, the Company was not involved in any legal proceedings other than in the ordinary course of business. The Company is a party from time to time to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. These actions typically seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract and/or property damages, punitive damages, civil penalties, or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. With respect to all such lawsuits, claims, and proceedings, we record reserves when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. At March 31, 2026, the Company does not believe that any of these proceedings, separately or in aggregate, would be expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

**Related Party Transactions**

We intend that all transactions between us and our executive officers, directors, holders of 10% or more of the shares of any class of our common stock and affiliates thereof, will be on terms no less favorable than those terms given to unaffiliated third parties and will be approved by a majority of our independent outside directors not having any interest in the transaction.

On April 29, 2022, the Company entered into a $1.0 million promissory note agreement with Corns Enterprises as partial consideration for the purchase of Tri-State Paving. This four-year agreement requires $250,000 principal installment payments on or before the end of each twelve (12) full calendar month period beginning April 29, 2022. Interest payments due will be calculated on the principal balance remaining and will be at the stated rate of 3.5% per year. The Company has made $750,000 in principal payments on this note as of March 31, 2026. Final payment on this note was made in April 2026.

SQP made an equity investment of $156,000 in 1030 Quarrier Development, LLC ("Development") in August 2022. Development is a variable interest entity ("VIE") that is 75% owned by 1030 Quarrier Ventures, LLC ("Ventures") and 25% owned by

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

SQP. SQP is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE and therefore will not consolidate Development into its consolidated financial statements. Instead, SQP will apply the equity method of accounting for its investment in Development. Development, a 1% owner, and United Bank, a 99% owner, formed 1030 Quarrier Landlord, LLC ("Landlord"). Landlord decided to pursue the following development project (the "Project"): a historical building at 1030 Quarrier Street, Charleston, West Virginia as well as associated land (the "Property") was purchased to be developed/rehabilitated into a commercial project including apartments and commercial space. Upon the completion of development, the Property will be used to generate rental income. SQP has been awarded the construction contract for the Project. United Bank provided $5.0 million in loans to fund the Project. SQP and Ventures have jointly provided an unconditional guarantee for the $5.0 million of obligations associated with the Project.

CJ Hughes entered into an agreement, cancelable at any time, with Construction Specialty Services ("CSS"), which is owned by Chuck Austin, the President of CJ Hughes. CSS rents equipment, periodically, to and as requested by CJ Hughes. The equipment rental rates are below the rates that the equipment can be rented from any unaffiliated rental company. CJ Hughes is not obliged to rent any equipment and does so only when CJ Hughes does not have equipment available of its own and would otherwise need to rent such equipment as the demand increases throughout the construction season. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the rental amounts for these specific periods were $72,000, and $123,000, respectively. For the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the rental amounts for these specific periods were $218,000, and $176,000, respectively.

Other than mentioned above, there were no new material related party transactions entered into during the three and six months ended March 31, 2026.

Certain Energy Services subsidiaries routinely engage in transactions in the normal course of business with each other, including sharing employee benefit plan coverage, payment for insurance and other expenses on behalf of other affiliates, and other services incidental to business of each of the affiliates. All revenue and related expense transactions, as well as the related accounts payable and accounts receivable have been eliminated in consolidation.

**Inflation**

Most significant project materials, such as pipe or electrical wire, are provided by the Company's customers. When possible, the Company attempts to lock in pricing with vendors and include qualifications regarding material cost increases in bids. Where allowed by contract, the Company will address fuel cost increases with customers. Significant inflation or supply chain issues could cause customers to delay or cancel planned projects; however, inflation did not have a significant effect on our results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

**Critical Accounting Estimates**

The discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates. Management believes the following accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

#### Revenues
The Company recognizes revenue as performance obligations are satisfied and control of the promised goods and service is transferred to the customer. For Lump Sum and Unit Price contracts, revenue is ordinarily recognized over time as control is transferred to the customers by measuring the progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation(s) using an input (i.e., "cost to cost") method. For Cost Plus and Time and Material ("T&M") contracts, revenue is ordinarily recognized over time as control is transferred to the customers by measuring the progress toward satisfaction of the performance obligation(s) using an output method. The Company also does certain T&M service work that is generally completed in a short duration and is recognized at a point in time.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

The accuracy of our revenue and profit recognition in a given period depends on the accuracy of our estimates of the cost to complete each project. We believe our experience allows us to create materially reliable estimates. There are a number of factors that can contribute to changes in estimates of contract cost and profitability. The most significant of these include:

● the completeness and accuracy of the original bid;

● costs associated with scope changes;

● changes in costs of labor and/or materials;

● extended overhead and other costs due to owner, weather and other delays;

● subcontractor performance issues;

● changes in productivity expectations;

● site conditions that differ from those assumed in the original bid;

● changes from original design on design-build projects;

● the availability and skill level of workers in the geographic location of the project;

● a change in the availability and proximity of equipment and materials;

● our ability to fully and promptly recover on affirmative claims and back charges for additional contract costs; and

● the customer's ability to properly administer the contract.

The foregoing factors, as well as the stage of completion of contracts in process and the mix of contracts at different margins may cause fluctuations in gross profit from period to period. Significant changes in cost estimates, particularly in our larger, more complex projects could have a significant effect on our profitability.

Our contract assets include cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings that represent amounts earned and reimbursable under contracts, including claim recovery estimates, but have a conditional right for billing and payment such as achievement of milestones or completion of the project. With the exception of customer affirmative claims, generally, such unbilled amounts will become billable according to the contract terms and generally will be billed and collected over the next three months. Settlement with the customer of outstanding affirmative claims is dependent on the claims resolution process and could extend beyond one year. Based on our historical experience, we generally consider the collection risk related to billable amounts to be low. When events or conditions indicate that it is probable that the amounts outstanding become unbillable, the transaction price and associated contract asset is reduced.

Our contract liabilities consist of provisions for losses and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings. Provisions for losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of income at the uncompleted performance obligation level for the amount of total estimated losses in the period that evidence indicates that the estimated total cost of a performance obligation exceeds its estimated total revenue. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings are billings to customers on contracts in advance of work performed, including advance payments negotiated as a contract condition. Generally, unearned project-related costs will be earned over the next twelve months.

The following table presents our costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings at March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025:

---

#### Allowance for credit losses
The Company provides an allowance for credit losses when collection of an account is considered doubtful. Inherent in the assessment of the allowance for credit losses are certain judgments and estimates relating to, among others, our customers' access to capital, our customers' willingness or ability to pay, general economic conditions and the ongoing relationship with the customers. While most of our customers are large well capitalized companies, should they experience material changes in their revenues and cash flows or incur other difficulties and not be able to pay the amounts owed, this could cause reduced cash flows and losses in excess of our current reserves.

Materially incorrect estimates of bad debt reserves could result in an unexpected loss in profitability for the Company. Additionally, frequently changing reserves could be an indication of risky or unreliable customers. At March 31, 2026, the management review deemed that the allowance for credit losses was adequate.

Please see the allowance for credit losses table below as of and for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and as of fiscal year ended September 30, 2025:

#### Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets
The Company follows the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350-20-35-3 "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)" which requires a company to record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount of goodwill over its fair value. Under the current guidance, companies can first choose to assess any impairment based on qualitative factors (Step 0). If a company fails this test or decides to bypass this step, it must proceed with a quantitative assessment of goodwill impairment. The Company did not have a goodwill impairment at March 31, 2026.

Materially incorrect estimates could cause an impairment of goodwill or intangible assets and result in a loss in profitability for the Company.

A table of the Company's intangible assets subject to amortization at March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025 is below:

#### Depreciation and Amortization
The purpose of depreciation and amortization is to represent an accurate value of assets on the books. Every year, as assets are used, their values are reduced on the balance sheet and expensed on the income statement. As depreciation and amortization are a noncash expense, the amount must be estimated. Each year a certain amount of depreciation and amortization is written off and the book value of the asset is reduced.

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Costs which extend the useful lives or increase the productivity of the assets are capitalized, while normal repairs and maintenance that do not extend the useful life or increase productivity of the asset are expensed as incurred. Property and equipment are depreciated principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets: buildings 39 years; operating equipment and vehicles 5-7 years; and office equipment, furniture and fixtures 5-7 years.

Acquired intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the pattern in which the economic benefit of the respective intangible assets is realized, over their respective estimated useful lives. The definite-lived identifiable intangible assets recognized as part of the Company's business combinations are initially recorded at their estimated fair value.

The Company's depreciation expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were $3.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively. The Company's depreciation expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were $6.7 million and $5.6 million, respectively In general, depreciation is included in "cost of revenues" on the Company's consolidated statements of income.

The Company's amortization expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were $284,403 and $164,197, respectively. The Company's amortization expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were $690,345 and $295,060, respectively. In general, amortization is included in "cost of revenues" on the Company's consolidated statements of income.

Materially incorrect estimates of depreciation and amortization and/or the useful lives of assets could significantly impact the value of long-lived assets on the Company's consolidated financial statements. A material overvaluation could result in impairment charges and reduced profitability for the Company.

**Income Taxes**

The Company's income tax expense and deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect management's best estimate of current and future taxes to be paid. Significant judgments and estimates are required in the determination of the consolidated income tax expense. The Company's provision for income taxes is computed by applying a federal rate of 21.0% and a blended state rate of approximately 5.0% to 6.0% to taxable income or loss after consideration of non-taxable and non-deductible items.

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 47.7%, as compared to 24.5%, for the same period in 2025. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended March 31, 2026 was 31.3%, as compared to 22.8%, for the same period in 2025. Effective income tax rates are estimates and may vary from period to period due to changes in the amount of taxable income and non-deductible expenses.

Major items that can affect the effective tax rate include amortization of goodwill and intangible assets and non-deductible amounts for per diem expenses.

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements, which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company had $6.1 million and $6.9 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards at March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively. The Company had $35.1 million and $41.9 million of state net operating loss carryforwards at March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively. The state net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2026.

The Company does not believe that it has any unrecognized tax benefits included in its consolidated financial statements that require recognition. The Company has not had any settlements in the current period with taxing authorities, nor has it recognized tax benefits as a result of a lapse of the applicable statute of limitations. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits, if applicable, in general and administrative expenses.

**Accounting for PPP Loans** 

The Company's accounting for PPP loans reflects management's best estimate of current and future amounts to be paid. The Company applies significant judgment regarding the determination of PPP loan forgiveness based on the rules established, and subsequently clarified by the SBA, including rules related to the Company's affiliations and meeting SBA size standards.

Refer to Note 3 "Accounting for PPP Loans" in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional details.

**New Accounting Pronouncements**

In November 2024, the FASB issued an update that requires incremental disclosures about specific expense categories. Entities are required to disclose in the notes to financial statements the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization and selling expenses included in each relevant expense caption of the statements of operations. The standard also requires disclosure of the amount, and a qualitative description of, other items remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2027. Early adoption and both prospective and retrospective application are permitted. The Company is currently assessing the effect of this update.

In March 2023, the FASB issued an update that expands disclosures for tax rate reconciliation tables, primarily by requiring disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction, as well as greater disaggregation within the rate reconciliation. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2024 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2025. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The Company is currently assessing the effect of this update.

**Subsequent Events**

On April 15, 2026, the Company paid a quarterly dividend of $0.03 per common share to shareholders of record as of March 31, 2026.

Management has evaluated all subsequent events for accounting and disclosure. There have been no other material events during the period, other than noted above, that would either impact the results reflected in the report or the Company's results going forward.

**Outlook**

The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially.

The Company continues to receive significant bid opportunities for water and wastewater projects, natural gas transmission and distribution projects, and electrical, mechanical, and general construction projects. The Company's unaudited backlog at March 31, 2026, was $325.1 million, compared to $280.7 million at March 31, 2025, and $259.7 million at September 30, 2025.

The $13.5 million and $13.3 million increases in revenue for Gas & Water Distribution and Gas & Petroleum Transmission, respectively, for the six months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, are consistent with the increased project opportunities the Company is experiencing in fiscal year 2026. Backlog for these categories was $154.7 million at March 31, 2026.

Electrical, Mechanical, & General Construction Services revenue increased by $3.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. The Company's backlog in this category was $170.4 million at March 31, 2026, and the Company continues to experience bidding opportunities for larger construction projects in fiscal year 2026.

While the addition of further projects appears likely, no assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in securing projects for which it bids. Moreover, even if contracts are awarded, there can be no assurance that the related projects will proceed as planned or at all.

**ITEM 3. Quantitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

Not required for a smaller reporting company.

**ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures**

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that Energy Services of America Corporation files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There has been no change in Energy Services of America Corporation's internal control over financial reporting during Energy Services of America Corporation's second quarter of fiscal year 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Energy Services of America Corporation's internal control over financial reporting.

**PART II**

**OTHER INFORMATION**

**ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings**

On November 12, 2021, the Company received a withdrawal liability claim from a pension plan to which the Company made pension contributions for union construction employees performing covered work in a particular jurisdiction. The Company has not performed covered work in their jurisdiction since 2011; however, the Company disagrees with the withdrawal claim and believes it is covered by an exemption under federal law. The demand called for thirty-four quarterly installment payments of $41,000 starting March 15, 2021. The Company must comply with the demand under federal pension law; however, the Company firmly believes no withdrawal liability exists. The Company is in negotiations with the pension fund to resolve the matter and all future payments have been suspended as part of the negotiation. The Company has expensed all $164,000 in payments made through September 30, 2022 and does not expect any future liabilities related to this claim. The Company did not make any payments during the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Other than described above, at March 31, 2026, the Company was not involved in any legal proceedings other than in the ordinary course of business. The Company is a party from time to time to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. These actions typically seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract and/or property damages, punitive damages, civil penalties, or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. With respect to all such lawsuits, claims, and proceedings, we record reserves when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. At March 31, 2026, the Company does not believe that any of these proceedings, separately or in aggregate, would be expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

**ITEM 1A. Risk Factors**

Please see the information disclosed in the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 15, 2025. There have been no material changes to the risk factors since the filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) On July 6, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the "Program"), pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, purchase shares of its common stock for an aggregate repurchase amount not to exceed 1,000,000 shares, which was approximately 6.0% of its outstanding common stock as of the date of the announcement. The Program does not obligate the Company to purchase any number of shares, and there is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares to be repurchased by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Tax settlement on vested Restricted Stock Awards. Repurchases do not affect the maximum number of shares that may yet be purchased under the Program.

**ITEM 5. Other Information**

During the second fiscal quarter of 2026, none of our directors or officers adopted or terminated any contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of Company securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) or any "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement," as that term is used in SEC regulations.
