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 · 1,284 characters as filed

Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies We are party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. During fiscal 2026, a civil complaint was filed against Mesa in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio alleging, among other things, misappropriation of trade secrets and tortious interference with a contract in connection with the departure of a former executive of a third party and that individuals subsequent employment with Mesa. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, monetary damages, attorneys fees, and other remedies. Mesa denies the allegations and intends to vigorously defend itself. Due to the early stage of the proceedings, we are unable to predict the outcome of this matter or reasonably estimate the amount of any potential loss, if any. While it is reasonably possible that the resolution of this matter could result in a loss to Mesa, which may be material, we have not recorded an accrual as of March 31, 2026, as any such loss cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Other than as described above, as of March 31, 2026 , we are not party to any legal proceeding that management believes could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Debt · 4,458 characters as filed

"Note 8 . Indebtedness Credit Facility Our secured credit agreement matures in April 2029 and includes: (i) A revolving credit facility with an aggregate principal amount of up to $125,000 (the ""Revolver""), (ii) A term loan with a maximum principal amount of $75,000, which is subject to escalating quarterly principal payments (the ""Term Loan""), (iii) A swingline loan with an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $5,000, and, (iv) Letters of credit with an aggregate stated amount not exceeding $2,500 at any time. We refer to the agreement in whole as the Credit Facility. Borrowings under our Credit Facility bear interest at a SOFR rate or a base rate, plus an applicable spread that varies with our total net leverage ratio. On October 10, 2025 we amended the Credit Facility to reduce the range of the spread from 1.5% - 3.0% to 1.25% - 2.50%. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the Credit Facility as of March 31, 2026 was 5.9%. The financial covenants in the Credit Facility include a maximum leverage ratio of 4.00 to 1.00 on each of the quarterly testing dates between March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026 and 3.5 to 1.0 on each testing date thereafter. The Credit Facility also stipulates a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.0. Other covenants include restrictions on our ability to incur debt, grant liens, make fundamental changes to our business as defined in the contract, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, or conduct asset sales.

Fair value · 1,842 characters as filed

"Note 3. Fair Value Measurements Our financial instruments generally consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, obligations under trade accounts payable and debt. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable approximate fair value; they are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The financial instruments that subject us to the highest concentrations of credit risk are cash and accounts receivable. We maintain relationships and cash deposits at multiple banking institutions across the world in an effort to diversify and reduce risk of loss. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited to customers to whom we make significant sale s. No customers accounted for more than 10% of total trade receivables as of March 31, 2026 . The carrying amounts of our Credit Facility on the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate fair value due to the variable interest rate pricing on the debt, with the principal balances bearing an interest rate approximating current market rates. On August 15, 2025, our outstanding 1.375% convertible notes matured. No balances remained outstanding related to the Notes as of March 31, 2026. See Note 8 . ""Indebtedness"" for further information.

This ASU requires public business entities to provide enhanced disclosures related to the reconciliation of the effective tax rate to the statutory federal, state, and foreign income tax rates, including disaggregation of individual reconciling items when their impact exceeds specified quantitative thresholds. The ASU also requires disaggregated disclosure of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) by federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions, and further disaggregation for specific jurisdictions when amounts exceed defined thresholds. In addition, certain reconciling items must be disaggregated based on their nature, determined by reference to the items fundamental characteristics, including the underlying transaction or event that gave rise to the reconciling item and the activity with which it is associated. ASU 2023-09 eliminates the previous requirement to disclose information about unrecognized tax benefits that have a reasonable possibility of significantly increasing or decreasing within the 12 months following the reporting date. We adopted ASU 2023 - 09 on a prospective basis, which resulted in the new disclosure requirements presented in Note 12, Income Taxes .

Fair value · 1,334 characters as filed

"Note 3. Fair Value Measurements and Concentrations of Credit Risk Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, obligations under trade accounts payable, and debt. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying values for cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, and trade accounts payable approximate fair value and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amounts of our term loan and revolving line of credit (together, the ""Credit Facility"") approximate fair value due to variable interest rate pricing, with the balances bearing interest rates approximating current market rates. There were no nonrecurring fair value adjustments or transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 . The financial instruments that subject us to the highest concentrations of credit risk are cash and accounts receivable. We maintain relationships and cash deposits at multiple banking institutions across the world in an effort to diversify and reduce risk of loss. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited to customers to whom we make significant sales. No customers accounted for more than 10% of total trade receivables as of December 31, 2025 ."

Note 9 . Income Taxes We reported an income tax provision as follows: Three Months Ended December 31, Nine Months Ended December 31, 2025 2024 2025 2024 Income tax (benefit) expense $ 966 $ (541 ) $ 2,759 $ 360 Effective tax rate 21.0 % 24.4 % 20.3 % 6.5 % For interim income tax reporting, we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply this effective tax rate to our year-to-date pre-tax income. Each quarter, our estimate of the annual effective tax rate is updated, and if the estimated effective tax rate changes, a cumulative adjustment is made. Additionally, the tax effects of significant unusual or infrequently occurring items are recognized as discrete items in the interim period in which the events occur. There is a potential for volatility in the effective tax rate due to several factors, including changes in the mix of the pre-tax income and the jurisdictions to which they relate, changes in tax laws and foreign tax holidays, settlement with taxing authorities, and foreign currency fluctuations. The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2025 approximated the federal statutory rate of 21%; the effective rate was impacted by the valuation allowance on U.S. deferred taxes, offset by the foreign differential rate. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 differed from the statutory federal rate of 21% due to the impact of the valuation allowance on U.S. deferred taxes, partially offset by the foreign rate differential.

"Recent Accounting Pronouncements We have reviewed all recently issued accounting pronouncements and have concluded that, other than as described below, they are not applicable to us or are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We have not adopted any new accounting standards in fiscal year 2026. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (""ASU"") 2023 - 09, Income Taxes (Topic 740 ): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures , which enhances the transparency, effectiveness and comparability of annual income tax disclosures. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 ( our fiscal year 2026 ), with early adoption and prospective or retrospective application permitted. Other than presentation of additional disaggregated information related to the jurisdictions in which we pay income taxes and income tax rate reconciliations in our annual income tax footnote disclosures, we do not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2023 - 09 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
