This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) relates to our financial position as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and our results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025 (“Current Quarter”), the six months ended June 30, 2025 (“Current Period”), the three months ended June 30, 2024 (“Prior Quarter”) and the six months ended June 30, 2024 (“Prior Period”). Our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (“2024 Form 10-K”) should be read in conjunction with this Form 10-Q. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and include the accounts of our direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries and entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. Intercompany accounts and balances have been eliminated. For the time periods covered by this Form 10-Q, we did not have any changes or items impacting other comprehensive income.
