| Contingencies and Guaranty | Contingencies and Guaranty Contingent Liabilities SDG&E Refund Obligations In February 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with San Diego Gas & Electric Company, a subsidiary of Sempra Energy (“SDG&E”), to sell 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum throughout SDG&E’s California service territory, including San Diego and Imperial Counties and portions of Orange County (the “SDG&E Agreement”), for a total payment of $50.0 million. As the Company is required to refund payments it has received from SDG&E in the event of termination or non-delivery of the specific county’s full 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum, it recorded the payments received as contingent liability on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. A reduction in the contingent liability and a gain or loss on the sale of spectrum will be recognized for each county once the Company delivers the full cleared 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum and the associated broadband licenses to SDG&E. During Fiscal 2023 and 2022, the Company transferred to SDG&E the cleared 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum and the associated broadband license related to Imperial County and San Diego County. This resulted in the recognition of a gain on the sale of spectrum and derecognition of the contingent liability associated with San Diego County and Imperial County. Subsequent to the derecognition of the contingent liability related to the delivery of San Diego County and Imperial County licenses, the remaining contingent liability related to SDG&E of $1.0 million for Orange County is classified as a short-term liability due to the expected timing of delivery. LCRA Refund Obligation In April 2023, the Company entered into the Original LCRA Agreement for a total payment of $30.0 million. In November 2024, the Company received the agreed upon narrowband spectrum licenses from LCRA with a fair value of $1.4 million. In January 2025, the Company entered into the second agreement with LCRA for total estimated consideration of $13.5 million (collectively with the Original LCRA Agreement, the “LCRA Agreement”). As the Company is required to refund the deposit it has received from LCRA in the event of termination or non-delivery of the specific county’s full cleared 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum, it recorded the payments and licenses received as contingent liability on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. A reduction in the contingent liability and a gain or loss on the sale of spectrum will be recognized for each county once the Company delivers the full cleared 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum and the associated broadband licenses to LCRA. During the nine months ended December 31, 2025, the Company transferred to LCRA the 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum and the associated broadband licenses related to 60 counties which resulted in a $15.3 million reduction in contingent liability inclusive of $1.3 million related to the narrowband spectrum licenses previously received. See Note 5 Intangible Assets for further discussion on the sale of intangible assets. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has classified $1.1 million and $6.0 million as short-term and long-term contingent liability, respectively, based on the estimated timing of license delivery associated with the LCRA Agreement. Oncor Refund Obligation In June 2024, the Company entered into the Oncor Agreement for a total payment of $102.5 million, to be paid through fiscal year 2026 pursuant to the terms of the agreement. As the Company is required to refund the deposit it has received from Oncor in the event of termination or non-delivery of the specific county’s full cleared 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum, it recorded the payments received as contingent liability on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. A reduction in the contingent liability and a gain or loss on the sale of spectrum will be recognized for each county once the Company delivers the 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum and the associated broadband licenses to Oncor. During Fiscal 2025, the Company transferred to Oncor the 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum and the associated broadband licenses related to four counties and received a milestone payment of $34.0 million. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company received $2.9 million related to reimbursable clearing costs and Anti-Windfall Payments made in connection with the transfer of the associated broadband licenses. During the nine months ended December 31, 2025, the Company transferred to Oncor the 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum and the associated broadband licenses related to three counties and received a milestone payments of $0.3 million inclusive of $20 thousand related to reimbursable clearing costs and Anti-Windfall Payments made in connection with the transfer of the associated broadband licenses. See Note 5 Intangible Assets for further discussion on the sale of intangible assets. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has classified $7.0 million as short-term contingent liability, based on the estimated timing of license delivery associated with the Oncor Agreement. Guaranties In October 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with Xcel Energy Services Inc. (“Xcel Energy”) providing Xcel Energy dedicated long-term usage of the Company’s 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum for a term of 20 years throughout Xcel Energy’s service territory in eight states (the “Xcel Energy Agreement”). In connection with the Xcel Energy Agreement, the Company entered into a guaranty agreement, under which the Company guaranteed the delivery of the relevant 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum and the associated broadband licenses in Xcel Energy’s service territory in eight states along with other commercial obligations. In the event of default or non-delivery of the specific territory’s 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum, the Company is required to refund payments it has received. In addition, to the extent the Company has performed any obligations, the Company’s liability and remaining obligations under the Xcel Energy Agreement will extend only to the remaining unperformed obligations. The Company recorded $74.7 million in deferred revenue in connection with the prepayments received as of December 31, 2025. The Company commenced delivery of the relevant cleared 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum and the associated broadband leases in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 and will continue through 2029. As of December 31, 2025, the maximum potential liability of future undiscounted payments under this agreement is approximately $66.9 million, reflecting a reduction in liability due to the obligations it has performed to date. In June 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to retune and acquire wireless licenses for approximately $28.0 million. In connection with this agreement, the Company entered into a guaranty agreement with the incumbent, under which the Company guaranteed the payment and performance of all obligations under the agreement to the incumbent in the event of default. In addition, to the extent the Company has performed any obligations under the agreement, the Company’s liability and remaining obligations will extend only to the remaining obligations. As of December 31, 2025, the maximum potential liability of future undiscounted payments under this agreement is approximately $21.5 million.
