Discontinued Operations DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
As disclosed in "Note 1: Basis of Presentation", we completed the disposition of PWSH on January 6, 2026 and determined that the related net assets should be presented as held-for-sale as of the December 31, 2025 consolidated balance sheet and that the results of operations of PWSH should be presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented, as the disposal completed shortly after December 31, 2025, represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. The measurement of assets held for sale to fair value less costs to sell resulted in a gain which will not be recognized until realized on the date of sale.

Government Subsidies
We account for government assistance that is not subject to the scope of ASC 740 using a grant accounting model, by analogy to International Accounting Standards 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, and recognize such grants when we have reasonable assurance that we will comply with the grant’s conditions and that the grant will be received. Government grants whose primary condition is the purchase, construction, or acquisition of a long-lived asset are considered asset-based grants and are recognized as a reduction to such asset’s cost basis, which reduces future amortization or depreciation. In the circumstances when the reasonable assurance of receiving the government grants is reached after the related long-lived assets are fully or partially amortized, the asset grant is pro-ratably allocated to the used life of the long-lived assets and recorded as a cumulative catch up to reduce the amortization or depreciation expense. Other government grants not related to long-lived assets are considered income-based grants, which are recognized when the grant becomes receivable and are recognized as other income. We recognize grants expected to be received directly from a government entity at their stated value. Proceeds received from asset-based grants are presented as cash inflows from investing activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows, whereas proceeds received from income-based grants are presented as cash inflows from operating activities.
