What the 10-K filed 2026-02-05 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 2025-02-05.
