Read at SEC EDGAR

What happened

A $209.4 million increase in inventory during the first half of 2026 represents a major use of operating cash and a potential liability. This rapid build-up creates pressure to improve inventory management, enhance demand forecasting, and avoid costly write-downs, opening the door for supply chain and analytics solutions.
