The Company, through PERC, purchases engineering and technology support services from various companies formerly affiliated with PERC, as a former minority shareholder in these companies was also a minority shareholder of PERC. On January 4, 2023, as a result of CW-Holdings' exercise of a call option in October 2022, CW-Holdings purchased the remaining 39% ownership interest in PERC. After giving effect to this purchase, CW-Holdings owns 100% of the outstanding capital stock of PERC and, consequently, transactions with the formerly affiliated companies no longer constitute related party transactions. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company made total purchases of services from these companies of approximately $2,695,000. These total purchases are included in the Company’s cost of revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

PERC entered into a sublease agreement with one of these formerly affiliated companies that commenced on March 14, 2021 and ended August 31, 2021.

This lease expense is included in the Company's general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
