Restructuring Program
Current report
In the fourth quarter of 2025, we launched a restructuring program to further streamline our operations and improve the efficiency of our support functions. This initiative is intended to enhance overall organizational effectiveness and ensure alignment between our cost structure and strategic growth objectives. Once fully implemented in early 2026, this program is expected to deliver approximately $35.0 million of annualized cost savings. We expect to record $10.0 million in restructuring charges related to these actions in the fourth quarter.
Current report
We will continue to review our overhead and cost structure for efficiency opportunities under this program.

•Revenues increased by $129.8 million, or 6.2%, to $2,224.0 million during the three months ended July 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year period.

Acquisition growth was driven by a $25.5 million revenue increase from the Quality Uptime and LMC acquisitions.
