What the 10-K filed 2026-09-02 says about risks that are not on the face of the balance sheet, from the notes to the financial statements, Legal Proceedings and the MD&A (and, for big customers and key suppliers, Business and Risk Factors). Tickdelta picks sentences with specifics (amounts, accruals, covenant ratios) and quotes them as filed. New marks a sentence with nothing like it in the 10-K filed 2025-09-03.

Big customers

Customers the company names as a large share of revenue or receivables (it must name any worth 10% of revenue).

“While we believe that we have strong non-infringement and invalidity arguments in these litigations, and that Ramot’s damages theories in such cases are not supported by prevailing law, we are unable to reasonably estimate the ultimate outcome of these litigations at this time due to uncertainties in the litigation processes.”

“If we do not prevail in court in these litigations, we believe any damages ultimately assessed would not have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.”

“In addition, we do not allocate amortization and impairment of acquisition-related intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, significant litigation settlements and other contingencies, charges related to asset impairments and restructurings, and certain other charges to the cost of sales and gross margin for each segment because the CODM does not include this information in the measurement of the performance of our operating segments.”
