The following table presents the Company’s pro forma consolidated results for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024, assuming the acquisition of Eviosys had occurred on January 1, 2023. This pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and does not purport to represent the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had been completed at the beginning of 2023, nor is it necessarily indicative of future consolidated results.
