Backward-looking filed evidence under visible rules - not a rating, forecast or investment advice. Missing data is never scored.

Evidence signals

  • 1 filing risk check flagged

    Flagged areas: Solvency & liquidity.

    Why this surfaced

    The full financial analysis shows each value, threshold, and sector limitation.

  • Revenue was broadly stable

    Latest reported annual revenue changed -0.7% from the prior reported annual observation.

    Why this surfaced

    Direction threshold: above +2% constructive; below -2% caution; otherwise monitor. This is not labeled one-year growth when filing periods have a gap. Period end 2025-12-31.

  • Operating margin was stable

    Operating margin changed +0.3 percentage points from the prior annual period.

    Why this surfaced

    Direction threshold: more than +1 percentage point constructive; below -1 point caution. Period end 2025-12-31.

  • Free cash flow was positive

    Latest reported free cash flow was $948M.

    Why this surfaced

    Free cash flow = operating cash flow minus capital expenditures; positive is supporting evidence, not a valuation conclusion. Period end 2025-12-31.

Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.

Per fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions. The per-year series is part of Pro risk analysis.

First filing reporting each period vs the latest filing carrying it (10-K and 10-Q only, periods since 2020, the extractor's winning tag per concept); a change under 0.5% is treated as rounding. A change can be a restatement, a reclassification or a re-tagging in a later comparative column; the two filings are linked so the reader can see which. Descriptive, not a verdict.

Commitments and contingencies · 1,193 characters as filed

8. Commitments and Contingencies As the result of state use tax audits, we have been assessed amounts owed from which we are vigorously appealing. We have recorded a liability for the estimated probable exposure under these audits and await resolution of the matter. We purchase insurance coverage for a portion of expenses related to vehicular collisions and accidents. These policies include a level of self-insurance (deductible) coverage applicable to each claim as well as certain coverage-layer-specific, aggregated reimbursement limits of covered excess claims. Our claims from time to time exceed some of these existing coverage layer aggregate reimbursement limits and can effectuate additional premium provisions. Accordingly, we have recorded a liability for the estimated probable exposure for these occurrences. We are involved in certain other claims and pending litigation arising from the normal conduct of business. Based on present knowledge of the facts and, in certain cases, opinions of outside counsel, we believe the resolution of these claims and pending litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

The revolving line of credit authorizes us to borrow up to $1.0 billion under a five -year term expiring November 2030 and allows us to request an increase in the revolving line of credit total commitment by up to $400 million and to request two one -year extensions of the maturity date. In addition, the credit agreement authorizes us to borrow up to an additional $700 million through committed term loans during the six-month period beginning November 25, 2025, due November 2028, of which we partially exercised in February 2026. The applicable interest rates under this agreement are based on either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), or a Base Rate, depending upon the specific type of borrowing, plus an applicable margin and other fees. At June 30, 2026, we had $54 million outstanding on the revolving line of credit and a $350 million balance of term loans, at an average interest rate of 4.61%, under this agreement. Senior Not

Fair value · 1,467 characters as filed

6. Fair Value Measurements Our assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on valuation techniques which consider prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. These valuation methods are based on either quoted market prices (Level 1) or inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2). Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The following assets are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in millions): Asset Balance June 30, 2026 December 31, 2025 Input Level Trading investments $ 37.8 $ 36.3 1 The fair value of trading investments has been measured using the market approach (Level 1) and reflects quoted market prices. Trading investments are classified in other assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Financial Instruments The carrying amount of our senior credit facility and senior notes was $1.15 billion and $1.47 billion at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The estimated fair value of these liabilities using the income approach (Level 2), based on their net present value, discounted at our current borrowing rate, was $1.17 billion and $1.51 billion at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The carrying amounts of all other instruments at June 30, 2026, approximate their fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

Income taxes · 1,023 characters as filed

7. Income Taxes Our effective income tax rate was 25.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 26.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Our effective income tax rate was 25.3% for the first six months of 2026, compared to 26.7% in 2025. In determining our quarterly provision for income taxes, we use an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items. This rate is based on our expected annual income, statutory tax rates, best estimate of nontaxable and nondeductible items of income and expense, and the ultimate outcome of tax audits. At June 30, 2026, we had a total of $71.7 million in gross unrecognized tax benefits, which are a component of other long-term liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Of this amount, $57.9 million represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact our effective tax rate. The total amount of accrued interest and penalties for such unrecognized tax benefits was $16.5 million at June 30, 2026.
