We consider cybersecurity risk a serious threat to our assets and our people and have put processes in place designed to mitigate the risk and impact of any such cybersecurity threat or incident. Our operations rely on the secure, accurate and timely receipt, storage, transmission, use, disclosure, and other processing of confidential and other information (including personal information) in our systems and networks. We also rely on the secure, accurate and timely receipt, storage, transmission, use, disclosure, and other processing of confidential and other information in the systems and networks of our customers and third parties, including suppliers, sellers and servicers, financial market utilities, and other third parties. Cybersecurity risks for companies like ours continue to increase. Like many companies and government entities, from time to time we have been, and expect to continue to be, the target of attempted cybersecurity incidents and other information security threats, including those from nation-state and nation-state supported actors. As of the date of this report, we have not experienced or aware of any cybersecurity incidents resulting, or reasonably likely to result in, a material impact to us, including to our business, financial condition, and results of operations. There is no assurance that our cybersecurity risk management program will prevent cybersecurity incidents from having such impacts in the future. Additionally, insider threats also remain a risk given our workforce diversification to include contractors, remote workers, part-time employees, and full-time employees. As referenced above, our third-party vendors and service providers and their supply chain connections remain a potential source of risk. For additional information, see Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Business. Potential cybersecurity threats are changing rapidly and advancing in sophistication. We may not be able to protect our systems and networks, or the confidentiality of our confidential or other information (including personal information), from cybersecurity incidents and other unauthorized access, disclosure, and disruption. Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy Our cybersecurity program is built upon the National Institute for Standards and Technology and other best practice frameworks. We employ processes for assessing, identifying, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats, including engaging an independent cybersecurity consultant to audit our systems and procedures, make recommendations for improvement and monitor remediation of any identified risks. We also conduct random vulnerability testing including network penetration testing, phishing, and social engineering tests. In addition, we also require Systems and Organization Control type reports from our service providers for our payroll and human resources system and stock administrator. Although we maintain systems and controls designed to prevent cybersecurity breaches from occurring, and we have processes to identify and mitigate threats, the development and maintenance of these systems, controls and processes is costly and requires ongoing monitoring and updating as technologies change and efforts to overcome security measures become increasingly sophisticated. Moreover, despite our efforts, the possibility of a breach occurring cannot be eliminated entirely. As we engage in more electronic transactions with service customers and vendors, and rely more on cloud-based information systems, the related security risks will increase, and we will need to expend additional resources to protect our technology and information systems. In addition, there can be no assurance that our internal information technology systems or those of our third-party contractors, or our consultants’ efforts to implement adequate security and control measures, will be sufficient to protect us against breakdowns, service disruption, data deterioration or loss in the event of a system malfunction, or prevent data from being stolen or corrupted in the event of a cyberattack, security breach, industrial espionage attacks or insider threat attacks which could result in financial, legal, business or reputational harm. Our business is subject to risk from cybersecurity threats and incidents, including attempts to gain unauthorized access to our systems or networks, or those of our managers, employees, and third-party vendors and service providers, to disrupt operations, corrupt data or steal confidential or personal information and other cybersecurity breaches.

NOTE 1 – BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Description of Business Nuvera is a diversified communications company headquartered in New Ulm, Minnesota with more than 120 years of experience in the communications business. Our principal line of business is the operation of seven communications companies. Our businesses consist of connecting customers to our state-of-the-art, advanced fiber communications network, providing managed services, switched service, and dedicated private lines, connecting customers to long-distance service providers and providing many other services associated with our Company. We also provide IPTV, CATV, Internet access services, including high-speed broadband access, and long-distance service. We also install and maintain communications systems to the areas in and around our service territories in southern Minnesota and northern Iowa. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation Our accounting policies conform to GAAP and rules and regulations of the SEC and, where applicable, conform to the accounting principles as prescribed by federal and state telephone utility regulatory authorities. We presently give accounting recognition to the actions of regulators where appropriate in preparing general purpose financial statements for most public utilities. In general, the type of regulation covered by this statement permits rates (prices) for some services to be set at levels intended to recover the estimated costs of providing regulated services or products, including the cost of capital (interest costs and a provision for earnings on stockholders’ investments). Our consolidated financial statements report the financial condition and results of operations for Nuvera and its subsidiaries in one business segment: the Communications Segment. Inter-company transactions have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements. Classification of Costs and Expenses Cost of services (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) includes all costs related to the delivery of communication services and products. These operating costs include all costs of performing services and providing related products including engineering, network monitoring and transportation costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses include direct and indirect selling expenses, customer service, billing and collections, advertising and all other general and administrative costs associated with our operations. Use of Estimates The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. The estimates and judgements used in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are based on our management’s evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. Revenue Recognition See Note 2 – “Revenue Recognition” for a discussion of our revenue recognition policies. Accounts Receivables and AFCLs As of December 31, 2025, and 2024 our consolidated accounts receivable totaled $2,788,066 and $2,313,808, net of the AFCLs. We believe our receivables as of December 31, 2025, and 2024 are recorded at their fair value. Accounts receivable consists primarily of amounts due to the Company from normal business activities. We maintain an AFCLs based on our historical loss experience, current conditions and forecasted changes including but not limited to changes related to the economy, our industry and business. Uncollectible accounts are written-off (removed from accounts receivable and charged against the AFCLs) when internal collection efforts have been unsuccessful. Subsequently, if payment is received from the customer, the recovery is credited to the AFCLs. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, the fair value of our net accounts receivable approximated their carrying values; therefore, no fair value adjustment for fresh start accounting was required. Our AFCLs increased during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 2024. AFCLs Accounts receivables are recorded at amortized cost less an AFCLs that are not expected to be recovered. The gross amount of accounts receivable is recorded net of the corresponding AFCLs in the consolidated balance sheets. We maintain AFCLs resulting from the expected failure or inability of our customers to make their required payments. We recognize the AFCLs based on management’s expectation of the asset’s collectability. The allowance is based on multiple factors including historical experience with bad debts, the credit quality of the customer base, the aging of such receivable and current macroeconomic conditions, as well as management’s expectation of conditions in the future, as applicable. Our AFCLs is recorded on a monthly basis based on the aging of our overall accounts receivable. Our accounts receivable collection policy includes internal collection efforts after an accounts receivable balance is 30 days due with service being suspended after approximately 40 days and terminated upon 60 days past due. The following table summarizes the activity in the AFCLs for the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024: <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="finTable" style="border-collapse: collapse;

Inventory also includes (i) parts and equipment shipped directly from vendors to customer locations while in transit and (ii) parts and equipment returned from customers that are returned to vendors for credit. Our inventory value as of December 31, 2025, and 2024 was $18,582,607 and $24,746,532. We value inventory using the lower of cost or net realizable value. Like our AFCLs, we make estimates related to the valuation of inventory. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, we had no inventory reserve. We adjust our inventory carrying value for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory to the net realizable value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. As market and other conditions change, we may establish additional inventory reserves at a time when the facts that give rise to a lower value are warranted. We use the average cost method of inventory costing. Property, Plant and Equipment We record impairment losses on long‑lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. In assessing the recoverability of long-lived assets, we compare the carrying value to the undiscounted future cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If the total of the undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, we would write down those assets based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined by calculating the discounted future cash flows expected from those assets. Changes in these estimates could have a material adverse effect on the assessment of long-lived assets, thereby requiring a write-down of the assets. Write-downs of long-lived assets are recorded as impairment charges and are a component of operating expenses. We have reviewed our long-lived assets and concluded that no impairment charge on our long-lived assets is necessary. We use the group life method (mass asset accounting) to depreciate the assets of our communications companies. Communications plant acquired in a given year is grouped into similar categories and depreciated over the remaining estimated useful life of the group. When an asset is retired, both the asset and the accumulated depreciation associated with that asset are removed from the books. Due to rapid changes in technology, selecting the estimated economic life of communications plant and equipment requires a significant amount of judgment. We periodically review data on the expected utilization of new equipment, asset retirement activity and net salvage values to determine adjustments to our depreciation rates. We have not made any significant changes to the lives of these assets in the two-year period ended December 31, 2025. Grant money received from governmental entities for reimbursement of capital expenditures is accounted for as a reduction from the cost of the asset. As the grant was to be used in the Company’s regulated network, the Company accounts for this funding as aid to construction as outlined in the FCC’s Part 32 “Uniform System of Accounts for Telecommunications Companies.” The resulting balance sheet presentation reflects the Company’s net investment in the assets in property, plant, and equipment. Depreciation is calculated and recorded based on the reduced cost of the investment therefore the impact of prior grants received is reflected in earnings as a reduction in depreciation. Grant funds are shown as inflows in the financing activities section of the statements of cash flows. Goodwill and Intangible Assets We amortize our definite-lived intangible assets over their estimated useful lives. Customer relationships are amortized over fourteen to fifteen years, regulatory rights are amortized over fifteen years and trade names are amortized over three to five years. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives. In accordance with GAAP, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but tested for impairment at least annually. See Note 5 – “Goodwill and Intangibles” for a more detailed discussion of the intangible assets and goodwill. Our goodwill balance was $35,624,660 as of December 31, 2025, and 2024. Financial Derivative Instruments and Fair Value Measurements We have adopted the rules prescribed under GAAP for our financial assets and liabilities. GAAP includes a fair value hierarchy that is intended to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value that is either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon its own market assumptions. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels: <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 100%; text-indent: 0px;"> <tbody><tr style="vertical-align: top;"> <td style="width: 18pt;"> </td> <td style="width: 45pt;"> Level 1: </td> <td style="width: auto;"> Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 100%; text-indent: 0px;"> <tbody><tr style="vertical-align: top;"> <td style="width: 18pt;"> </td> <td style="width: 45pt;"> Level 2: </td> <td style="width: auto;"> Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 100%; text-indent: 0px;"> <tbody><tr style="vertical-align: top;"> <td style="width: 18pt;"> </td> <td style="width: 45pt;"> Level 3: </td> <td style="width: auto;"> Inputs are derived from valuation techniques where one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable. </td> </tr> </tbody></table> We have used financial derivative instruments to manage our overall cash flow exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. We accounted for derivative instruments in accordance with GAAP that requires derivative instruments to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments must be recognized in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met, in which case, the gains and losses are included in other comprehensive income rather than in earnings. We have entered into IRSAs with our lender CoBank to manage our cash flow exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These instruments are designated as cash flow hedges and are effective at mitigating the risk of fluctuations on interest rates in the marketplace. Any gains or losses related to changes in the fair value of these derivatives are accounted for as a component of accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) for as long as the hedge remains effective. The fair value of our IRSAs is discussed in Note 7 – “Interest Rate Swaps”. The fair value of our swap agreements was determined based on Level 2 inputs. The fair value of our Goodwill is discussed in Note 5 – “Goodwill and Intangibles”. The fair value of our Goodwill was determined based on Level 3 inputs. Other Financial Instruments Other Investments - We conducted an evaluation of our investments in all of our investees in connection with the preparation of our audited financial statements as of December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, we believe the carrying value of our investments is not impaired. Debt – We estimate the fair value of our long-term debt based on the discounted future cash flows we expect to pay using current rates of borrowing for similar types of debt. Fair value of the debt approximates carrying value. Other Financial Instruments - Our financial instruments also include cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and accounts payable where the current carrying amounts approximate fair market value. Investments and Other Assets We are a co-investor with other communication companies in several partnerships and limited liability companies. These joint ventures make it possible to offer services to customers, including digital video services and fiber transport services that we would have difficulty offering on our own. These joint ventures also make it possible to invest in new technologies with a lower level of financial risk. We use the equity method of accounting for these investments that reflects original cost and recognition of our share of the net income or losses from the respective operations. See Note 15 – “Segment Information” for a listing of our investments. Investments in other companies that are not intended for resale and are not accounted for on the equity method of accounting are valued at fair value where there are readily determinable fair values. Investments in other companies that are not intended for resale and are not accounted for on the equity method of accounting are valued at cost where there are no readily determinable fair values. See Note 12 – “Other Investments” for additional information regarding our investments. Advertising Expense Advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising expense charged to operations was $870,162 and $864,312 in 2025 and 2024. Interest During Construction We include an average cost of debt for the construction of plant in our communications plant accounts. Income Taxes We account for income taxes in accordance with GAAP, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from the difference between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the financial statements and operating and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as income tax expense. Income tax expense or benefit is the tax payable or refundable, respectively, for the period plus or minus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period. GAAP requires us to recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more-likely-than-not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. See Note 8 – “Income Taxes” for additional information regarding income taxes. Collection of Taxes from Customers Sales, excise, and other taxes are imposed on most of our sales to nonexempt customers. We collect these taxes from our customers and remit the entire amounts to governmental authorities. Our accounting policies dictate that we exclude these taxes collected and remitted from our revenues and expenses. Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash investments and receivables. We deposit our cash investments in high credit quality financial institutions accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses in these accounts and do not believe we are exposed to any significant credit risk. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to our large number of customers. Earnings and Dividends Per Share The basic and diluted net income per share is calculated as follows: <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="finTable" style="border-collapse: collapse;

Recent Accounting Developments In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-03 “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)”. This accounting update requires disclosure of disaggregated expense in prescribed categories underlying any relevant income statement expense caption. The updated disclosure requirements are to be adopted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03 on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company expects the adoption of the standard to result in additional disaggregation of expense captions within its footnote disclosures. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, “Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants received by Business Entities”. This accounting update establishes guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of government grants. The updated requirements are effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting ASU 2025-10 on its consolidated financial statements. The Company has implemented all, new applicable accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 2 – REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company recognizes revenue based on the following single principles-based, five-step model that is applied to all services and contracts that are required with customers. These steps include (1) identify the contract(s)/service with the customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract/service provided, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract/service provided and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Our revenue contracts/services provided to customers may include a promise or promises to deliver services such as broadband, video or voice services. Promised services are considered distinct as the customer can benefit from the services either on their own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer and the Company’s promise to transfer service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. The Company accounts for services as separate performance obligations. Each service is considered a single performance obligation as it provides a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer. The transaction price is determined at service or contract inception and reflects the amount of consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring the service to the customer. This amount is generally equal to the market price of the services promised in the service provided or contract and may include promotional or bundling discounts. Most of our prices are based on tariffed rates filed with regulatory bodies or standard company price lists. The transaction price excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties such as sales taxes and regulatory fees. Conversely, non-refundable up-front fees, such as service activation and set-up fees, which are immaterial to our overall revenues, are included in the transaction price. In determining the transaction price, we consider our enforceable rights and obligations within the service or contract. We do not consider the possibility of a contract being cancelled, renewed, or modified, which is consistent with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC 606-10-32-4). The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the standalone selling price of the service, net of the related discount, as applicable. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied by transferring service to the customer as described below. Significant Judgments The Company often provides multiple services to a customer. Provision of CPE and additional service tiers may have a significant level of integration and interdependency with the subscription voice, video, Internet, or connectivity services. Judgement is required to determine whether the provision of CPE, installation services and additional service tiers are considered distinct and accounted for separately, or not distinct and accounted for together with the subscription services. Allocation of the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations in bundled service subscriptions requires judgement. The transaction price for a bundle of services is frequently less than the sum of standalone selling prices of each individual service. Bundled discounts are allocated proportionally to the selling price of each individual service within the bundle. Standalone selling prices for the Company’s services are directly observable.

Approximately 25.48% of our total revenue was from revenue sources outside of the scope of ASC 606. The remaining 3.17% of total revenue was from other sources including CPE and equipment sales and installation. For the year ended December 31, 2024, approximately 73.33% of our total revenue was from month-to-month and other contracted revenue from customers. Approximately 23.88% of our total revenue was from revenue sources outside of the scope of ASC 606. The remaining 2.79% of total revenue was from other sources including CPE and equipment sales and installation. A significant portion of our revenue is derived from customers who may generally cancel their subscriptions at any time without penalty. As such, the amount of revenue related to unsatisfied performance obligations is not necessarily indicative of the future revenue to be recognized from our existing customer base. Revenue from customers with a contractually specified term and non-cancellable service period will be recognized over the term of such contracts, which is generally three to ten years for these types of contracts. Nature of Services Revenues are earned from our customers primarily through the connection to our advanced fiber networks, digital and commercial TV programming, Internet services (high-speed broadband), and hosted and managed services. Revenues for these services are billed based on set rates for monthly service or based on the amount of time the customer is utilizing our facilities. The revenue for these services is recognized over time as the service is rendered. Voice Service – We receive recurring revenue for basic local services that enable end-user customers to make and receive telephone calls within a defined local calling area for a flat monthly fee. In addition to subscribing to basic local telephone services, our customers may choose from multiple voice service plans with a variety of custom calling features such as call waiting, call forwarding, caller identification and voicemail. Our VOIP digital phone service is also available as an alternative to the traditional telephone line. Customers may generally cancel their subscriptions at any time without penalty. Each subscription service provided is accounted for as a distinct performance obligation and revenue is recognized over a one-month service period as the subscription services are delivered. Other optional services purchased by the customer are generally accounted for as a distinct performance obligation when purchased and revenue is recognized when the service is provided. Network Access – We provide access services to other communication carriers for the use of our facilities to terminate or originate long distance calls on our fiber network. Additionally, we bill SLCs to substantially all our customers for access to the public switched network. These monthly SLCs are regulated and approved by the FCC. In addition, network access revenue is derived from several federally administered pooling arrangements designed to provide support and distribute funding to us. Revenues earned from other communication carriers accessing our network are based on the utilization of our network by these carriers as measured by minutes of use on the network or special access to the network by the individual carriers monthly. Revenues are billed at tariffed access rates for both interstate and intrastate calls and are recognized into revenue monthly based on the period the access was provided. The NECA pools and redistributes the SLCs to various communication providers through the CAF. These revenues are earned and recognized into revenue on a monthly basis. Any adjustments to these amounts received by NECA are adjusted for in revenue upon receipt of the adjustment. The monthly CBOL subsidy formula is reviewed and subjected to revision on an annual basis and subject to change based on updated USAC funding criteria July 1 of each year. Video Service – We provide a variety of enhanced video services on a monthly recurring basis to our customers. Depending on geographical market availability, our video services range from limited basic service to advanced digital TV, which includes several plans each with hundreds of local, national music channels including premium and pay-per-view channels as well as video-on-demand service. Certain customers may also subscribe to our advanced video services, which consist of high-definition TV, DVR and Whole Home DVR. Our Whole Home DVR allows customers the ability to watch recorded shows on any TV in the house, record multiple shows at one time and utilize an intuitive on-screen guide and user interface. Video subscribers also have access to our Watch TV Everywhere service which allows subscriber access to full episodes of available shows, movies and live screens using a computer or mobile device. We also receive monthly recurring revenue from our subscribers for providing commercial TV programming in competition with CATV, satellite dish TV and off-air TV service providers. Customers may generally cancel their subscriptions at any time without penalty. Each subscription service provided is accounted for as a distinct performance obligation and revenue is recognized over a one-month service period as the subscription services are delivered. Other optional services purchased by the customer are generally accounted for as a distinct performance obligation when purchased and revenue is recognized when the service is provided. Data Service – We provide high speed Internet to business and residential customers depending on the nature of the network facilities that are available, the level of service selected and the location. Our revenue is earned based on the offering of various flat packages based on the level of service, data speeds and features. We also provide e-mail and managed services, such as web hosting and design, on-line file back up and on-line file storage. Data customers may generally cancel their subscriptions at any time without penalty. Each subscription service provided is accounted for as a distinct performance obligation and revenue is recognized over a one-month service period as the subscription services are delivered. Other optional services purchased by the customer are generally accounted for as a distinct performance obligation when purchased and revenue is recognized when the service is provided. Directory – Our directory publishing revenue in our telephone directories recurs monthly and is recognized as revenue on a monthly basis. Other Contracted Revenue - Managed services and certain other data customers include advanced fiber-delivered communications and managed information technology solutions to mainly business customers, as well as high-capacity last-mile data connectivity services to wireless and wireline carriers. Services are primarily offered on a subscription basis with a contractually specified and non-cancelable service period. The non-cancelable contract terms for these customers generally range from three to ten years. Each subscription service provided is accounted for as a distinct performance obligation and revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period as the subscription services are delivered. These services are billed as monthly recurring charges to customers. Other – We also generate revenue from the sales, service and installation of CPE and other services. Sales and service of CPE are billed and recognized into revenue once the sale or service is complete or delivered. These sales and services are generally short-term in nature and are completed within one month. Other revenues are immaterial to our total revenues. Subsidy and Other Revenue outside the Scope of ASC 606 – We receive subsidies from governmental entities to operate and expand our advanced fiber networks. In addition, we have revenue from leasing arrangements. Both of these revenue streams are outside of the scope of ASC 606. Interstate access rates are established by a nationwide pooling of companies known as NECA. The FCC established NECA in 1983 to develop and administer interstate access service rates, terms, and conditions. Revenues are pooled and redistributed based on a company's actual or average costs. There has been a change in the composition of interstate access charges in recent years, shifting more of the charges to the end user and reducing the amount of access charges paid by the IXCs. We believe this trend will continue. Intrastate access rates are filed with state regulatory commissions in Minnesota and Iowa. The Company currently receives funding based on the A-CAM as described below, except for Scott-Rice, which receives funding from the FUSF. Scott-Rice’s settlements from the pools are based on nationwide average schedules, which includes the pooling and redistribution of revenues based on a company’s actual or average costs as described below. A-CAM As described above, with the exception of Scott-Rice, the remainder of our companies receive funding from the A-CAM. Per the FCC Public Notice DA 19-115, the Company receives A-CAM support and has corresponding service deployment obligations under that program. The Company annually receives (i) $596,084 for its Iowa operations and (ii) $8,354,481 for its Minnesota operations. The Company will receive the A-CAM support for a period of 10 years, which started in 2019. The Company uses the funding that it receives through the A-CAM program to meet its defined broadband build-out obligations, which the Company is currently completing.

Payment terms on invoiced amounts are generally 30-60 days. Contract Assets Contract assets include costs that are incremental to the acquisition of a contract. Incremental costs are those that result directly from obtaining a contract or costs that would not have been incurred if the contract had not been obtained, which primarily relates to sales commissions. We defer and amortize these costs over the expected customer life as the contract obligations are satisfied. We determined that the expected customer life is the expected period of benefit as the commission on the renewal contact is commensurate with the commission on the initial contract. During the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company recognized expenses of $709,460 and $668,685, respectively, related to deferred contract acquisition costs. Short-term contract assets are included in current assets under prepaid expenses and other current assets. Long-term contract assets are included in investments and other assets under other assets. Contract Liabilities Contract liabilities include deferred revenues related to advanced payments for services and nonrefundable, upfront service activation and set-up fees, which are generally deferred. In addition, contact liabilities include customer deposits that are not recognized as revenue, but are instead returned to the customer after a holding period. Short-term contract liabilities include deferred revenues for advanced payments for managed services and other long-term contracts. This includes the current portion of the deferred revenues that will be recognized monthly within one year. Short-term contact liabilities are included in current liabilities under other accrued liabilities. Long-term contract liabilities include deferred revenues for advanced payments for managed services and other long-term contracts. This includes the portion longer than one year and the corresponding deferred revenues are recognized into revenue on a monthly basis based on the term of the contract. Long-term contact liabilities are included in noncurrent liabilities under other accrued liabilities. During the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024 the Company recognized revenues of $218,051 and $381,148, respectively, related to deferred revenues. Performance Obligations ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, requires that the Company disclose the aggregate amount of the transaction price that is allocated to remaining performance obligations that are unsatisfied as of December 31, 2025. The guidance provides certain practical expedients that limit this requirement. The service revenue contracts of the Company meet the following practical expedients provided by ASC 606: <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width:100%;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> <tbody><tr> <td style="width:11pt;"> </td> <td style="vertical-align:top;width:18pt;"> 1. </td> <td style="vertical-align:top;"> The performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less. </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width:100%;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> <tbody><tr> <td style="width:11pt;"> </td> <td style="vertical-align:top;width:18pt;"> 2. </td> <td style="vertical-align:top;"> Revenue is recognized from the satisfaction of the performance obligations in the amount billable to the customer in accordance with ASC 606-10-55-18. </td> </tr> </tbody></table> The Company has elected these practical expedients. Performance obligations related to our service revenue contracts are generally satisfied over time. For services transferred over time, revenue is recognized based on amounts invoiced to the customer as the Company has concluded that the invoice amount directly corresponds with the value of services provided to the customer. Management considers this a faithful depiction of the transfer of control as services are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer over the life of the contract. As such, revenue related to unsatisfied performance obligations that will be billed in future periods has not been disclosed.

NOTE 3 – LEASES Under the FASB ASU 2016-02, “Leases,” which, together with its related clarifying ASUs, provided revised guidance for lease accounting and related disclosure requirements and established a right-to-use (ROU) model that requires lessees to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than twelve months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. The ASU also requires disclosures to allow financial statement users to better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures include qualitative requirements, providing additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. The following tables include the ROU assets and operating lease liabilities as of December 31, 2025, and 2024. Short-term operating lease liabilities are included in current liabilities in other accrued liabilities. Long-term operating lease liabilities are included in noncurrent liabilities in other accrued liabilities. <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="finTable" style="margin-right: 5%; margin-left: 18pt;

NOTE 5 - GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES We account for goodwill and other intangible assets under GAAP. Under GAAP, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are instead tested for impairment (i) on at least an annual basis and (ii) when changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of goodwill may be below its carrying value. These circumstances include but are not limited to (i) a significant adverse change in the business climate, (ii) unanticipated competition or (iii) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. Determining impairment involves estimating the fair value of a reporting unit using a combination of (i) the income or discounted cash flow approach and (ii) the market approach that utilizes comparable companies’ data. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the amount of the impairment loss must be measured. The impairment loss is calculated by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its carrying amount. In calculating the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amount assigned to its other assets and liabilities is the implied value of goodwill. We recognize impairment loss when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. Our goodwill totaled $35,624,660 as of December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. In 2025 and 2024, we engaged an independent valuation firm to aid in the completion of an annual impairment test for existing goodwill acquired. For 2025 and 2024, after the testing was completed, we determined that there was no impairment to goodwill for Scott-Rice and SETC as the determined fair value was sufficient to pass the impairment test. For 2025, after the testing was completed, we determined that there was no impairment to goodwill for HTC as the determined fair value was sufficient to pass the impairment test. For 2024, after the testing was completed, we determined that there was an impairment to goodwill for HTC of $4.9 million as the determined fair value was not sufficient to pass the impairment test. Our intangible assets subject to amortization consist of acquired customer relationships, regulatory rights, and trade names. We amortize intangible assets with finite lives over their respective estimated useful lives. Identifiable intangible assets that are subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment. In addition, we periodically reassess the carrying value, useful lives, and classifications of our identifiable intangible assets. The components of our identified intangible assets are as follows: <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="finTable" style="width: 100%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;

The margin for SOFR loans for term and revolving loans increases as our “Leverage Ratio” increases and decreases as our “Leverage Ratio” decreases. We generally use variable-rate debt to finance our operations, capital expenditures and acquisitions. These variable-rate debt obligations expose us to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates. The terms of our credit facility with CoBank require that we enter into interest rate agreements designed to protect us against fluctuations in interest rates, in an aggregate principal amount and for a duration determined under the credit facility. Under the 2024 credit facility, Nuvera can enter into IRSAs in connection with amounts borrowed from CoBank. On September 30, 2025, $43,750,000 of our indebtedness was covered under and IRSA with CoBank. See Note7 – “Interest Rate Swaps” for details regarding our IRSA. Our remaining outstanding debt of $102.4 million remains subject to variable interest rates at an effective weighted average interest rate of 7.32%, as of December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, our additional delayed draw term loan of $25.0 million and unused revolving credit facility of $8.9 million are subject to an unused commitment fee of 0.50% annually, until drawn. Once drawn, this debt would be subject to an effective weighted average interest rate based on current rate of interest in effect at the time. Our loan agreements include restrictions on our ability to pay cash dividends to our stockholders. However, we are allowed to pay dividends in an amount up to $3,000,000 in any year as long as no default or event of default has occurred, and our current Total Leverage Ratio is equal to 4.25:1.00 or less. In addition, we are allowed to pay dividends in an unlimited amount in any year as long as no default or event of default has occurred, and our current Total Leverage Ratio is equal to 3.50:1.00 or less. Our current Total Leverage Ratio as of December 31, 2025, was 4.97. Our maximum Total Leverage Ratio under the loan facility is 6.00:1.00. Our credit facility requires us to comply with specified financial ratios and tests. These financial ratios include Total Leverage Ratio and debt service coverage ratio. On December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all the stipulated financial ratios in our loan agreements. There are security and loan agreements underlying our current CoBank credit facility that contain restrictions on our distributions to stockholders and investment in, or loans, to others. Also, our credit facility contains restrictions that, among other things, limits or restrict our ability to enter into guarantees and contingent liabilities, incur additional debt, issue stock, transact asset sales, transfers, or dispositions, and engage in mergers and acquisitions, without CoBank approval. <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="finTable" style="border-collapse: collapse;

NOTE 7 – INTEREST RATE SWAPS We assess interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely affect expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities. We generally use variable-rate debt to finance our operations, capital expenditures and acquisitions. These variable-rate debt obligations expose us to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates. The terms of our credit facility with CoBank require that we enter into 35% of our existing debt interest rate agreements designed to protect us against fluctuations in interest rates, in an aggregate principal amount and for a duration determined under the credit facility. To meet this objective, we had entered into several IRSAs with CoBank, which allowed us to change the variable-rate cash flow exposure of the debt obligations to fixed cash flows. Under the terms of these IRSAs, we pay a fixed contractual interest rate and (i) make an additional payment if the SOFR variable rate payment is below a contractual rate or (ii) receive a payment if the SOFR variable rate payment is above the contractual rate. We entered into the following IRSA, which effectively locked in more than 35% of our variable-rate debt through July 2026. On July 31, 2025, we entered into a new IRSA with CoBank which replaced our existing three swaps which all expired on July 31, 2025, and covered $43,750,000 of our aggregate indebtedness. As of December 31, 2025, our IRSA covered $43,750,000, with a weighted average interest rate of 7.56%. Each month, we make interest payments to CoBank under its loan agreements based on the current applicable SOFR plus the contractual SOFR margin then in effect with respect to the loan, without reflecting our IRSAs. At the end of each calendar month, CoBank adjusts our aggregate interest payments based on the difference, if any, between the amounts paid by us during the month and the current effective interest rate. Net interest payments are reported in our consolidated income statement as interest expense. As of December 31, 2025, we had the following IRSA in effect. <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="finTable" style="width: 100%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; text-indent: 0px;"> <tbody><tr class="finHeading" style="vertical-align: bottom; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;"> <td style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; width: 21%; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: bottom;"> Loan # </td> <td style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-left: 0pt; width: 1%;"> </td> <td style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-left: 0pt; width: 15%; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Maturity Date </td> <td style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; width: 1%;"> </td> <td colspan="2" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-left: 0pt; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: bottom; width: 1%;"> Notional Amount </td> <td style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; padding-bottom: 1px; width: 1%;"> </td> <td style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-left: 0pt; width: 45%; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: bottom;"> Current Effective Interest Rate (1) </td> </tr> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;"> <td style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; width: 21%;"> </td> <td style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; width: 1%;"> </td> <td style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; width: 15%;"> </td> <td style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; width: 1%;"> </td> <td style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; width: 1%;"> </td> <td style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; width: 15%;"> </td> <td style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; width: 1%;"> </td> <td style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; width: 45%;"> </td> </tr> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; background-color: rgb(204, 238, 255);"> <td style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; width: 21%;"> TERM A-1 LN </td> <td style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-left: 0pt; width: 1%;"> </td> <td style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-left: 0pt; width: 15%;"> 07/31/2026 </td> <td style="width: 1%; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </td> <td style="width: 1%; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-left: 0pt;">$</td> <td style="width: 15%; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: right;">43,750,000</td> <td style="width: 1%; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-left: 0pt;"> </td> <td style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-left: 0pt; width: 45%;"> 7.56% (SOFR Rate of 4.06% plus 3.50% SOFR Rate Margin) </td> </tr> </tbody></table> (1) As described in Note 6 – “Long-Term Debt,” the notes above initially bears interest at a SOFR rate determined by the maturity of the note, plus a “SOFR Rate Margin” rate equal to a maximum of 3.75% according to the individual secured credit facility. The SOFR Rate Margin increases as the borrower’s “Leverage Ratio” increases and decreases as our “Leverage Ratio” decreases. The “Current Effective Interest Rate” in the table reflects the rate we pay giving effect to the swaps. Our IRSA, under our credit facilities, qualifies as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes under GAAP. We reflect the effect of this hedging transaction in the financial statements. The unrealized gain/loss is reported in other comprehensive income. If we terminate our IRSA, the cumulative change in fair value at the date of termination would be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss), which is classified in stockholders’ equity, into earnings on the consolidated statements of income. The fair value of the Company’s IRSA was determined based on valuations received from CoBank and were based on the present value of expected future cash flows using discount rates appropriate with the terms of the IRSA. The fair value indicates an estimated amount we would be required to pay if the contracts were canceled or transferred to other parties. As of December 31, 2025, the fair value asset of these swaps was $132,274, which has been recorded net of deferred tax expense of $37,751, resulting in the $94,523 in accumulated other comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2024, the fair value asset of these swaps was $475,960, which has been recorded net of deferred tax expense of $135,839, resulting in the $340,121 in accumulated other comprehensive income.

As required by GAAP, we recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more-likely-than-not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, we had $0 of unrecognized tax benefits that if recognized would affect the tax rate. We do not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to materially change over the next twelve months. We are primarily subject to United States, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, and Wisconsin income taxes. Tax years subsequent to 2020 remain open to examination by federal and state tax authorities. Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax matters as income tax expense. The differences between the statutory federal tax rate and the effective tax rate were as follows: <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="finTable" style="width: 100%; font-size: 10pt;

The Company’s income tax provision was computed based on the federal statutory rate and the average state statutory rates, net of the related federal benefit. The Company’s effective rate for the year ended December 31, 2024, was significantly impacted by a non-deductible goodwill impairment charge. Absent the impairment charge, the Company’s effective tax rate would have been 20.04% in 2024. The Company’s effective rate for the year ended December 31, 2025, was primarily impacted by state taxes computed on a standalone basis, and true-up adjustments with a disproportionate rate impact when compared to similar adjustments in 2024. Deferred income taxes and unrecognized tax benefits reflected in our consolidated balance sheets are summarized as follows: <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="finTable" style="border-collapse: collapse;

NOTE 9 – INCENTIVE AND RETIREMENT PLANS In 2006, we implemented an EIP for employees other than executive officers and a MIP for executive officers (collectively the 2006 Plan). In 2015, our BOD adopted, and our shareholders approved our 2015 Employee Stock Plan (2015 Plan), which permits the issuance of up to 200,000 shares of our Common Stock in stock awards for performance under the 2006 Plan. Each qualified employee of the Company may elect to receive up to 50% of their incentive compensation in Company Common Stock in lieu of cash. Each Company executive officer is required to receive 50% of their incentive compensation earned in Company Common Stock in lieu of cash. As of December 31, 2025, 148,877 shares remain available to be issued under the 2015 Plan. Long-Term Cash Based Awards On March 27, 2025, the Compensation Committee and the Board adopted a new cash-based long-term incentive plan. The 2025 Plan is a 3-year, cash-based long-term incentive and retention arrangement which measures OIBITDA and entails continued service with Nuvera throughout a 3-year period. Awards will be made annually (subject to the Compensation Committee’s oversight on plan design, which may change from time to time) with 3-year overlapping cycles, and performance measured each individual year. Vesting is based (i) on achievement of predetermined OIBITDA targets set annually and (ii) on continued service with Nuvera through the end of the 3-year performance cycle. Cash payouts will be made at the end of the 3-year cycle. OIBITDA performance targets for each year within the 3-year period will be aligned with approved operating budget for that year. Cash-based awards currently issued and outstanding are as follows: <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="finTable" style="width: 100%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;

NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES On December 15, 2021, the Company announced plans for a fiber network initiative.

Our capital budget for 2026 is approximately $33.1 million and will be financed primarily through internally generated funds and grant funding programs.

0 0 NOTE 12 – OTHER INVESTMENTS We are a co-investor with other communication companies in several partnerships and limited liability companies. These joint ventures make it possible to offer services to customers, including digital video services and fiber transport services that we would have difficulty offering on our own. These joint ventures also make it possible to invest in new technologies with a lower level of financial risk. We use the equity method of accounting for these investments that reflects original cost and recognition of our share of the net income or losses from the respective operations. For a listing of our investments, see Note 15 – “Segment Information.” The FASB requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, an entity may choose to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. The Company recognized a $22,646 unrealized loss on one of its investments as of December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has recorded losses on our investments of $15,550. <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 100%; text-indent: 0px;"> <tbody><tr style="vertical-align: top;"> <td style="width: 9pt;"> </td> <td style="width: 9pt;"> ● </td> <td style="width: auto;"> Our investments and interests in the following entities include some management responsibilities: </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 100%; text-indent: 0px;"> <tbody><tr style="vertical-align: top;"> <td style="width: 18pt;"> </td> <td style="width: 9pt;"> ▪ </td> <td style="width: auto;"> BBV – 24.30% subsidiary equity ownership interest.

NOTE 13 – DEFERRED COMPENSATION As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, we have recorded other deferred compensation relating to executive compensation payable to certain former executives of the Company and certain former executives of past acquisitions.

NOTE 14 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION The Company’s 2017 OSP was adopted by the Company’s BOD on February 24, 2017, and approved by the Company’s shareholders at the May 25, 2017, Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The 2017 OSP enables the Company to grant stock incentive awards to current and new employees, including officers, and to BOD members and service providers. The 2017 OSP permits stock incentive awards in the form of Options (incentive and non-qualified), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs, performance stock, performance units, and other awards in stock or cash. The 2017 OSP permits the issuance of up to 625,000 shares of our Common Stock in any of the above stock awards. As of December 31, 2025, 37,809 shares remain available for future grants under the 2017 OSP. Option Awards Prior to 2025, the Compensation Committee granted non-qualified stock Options The Compensation Committee believed that grants of Options more directly align management long-term equity compensation with increased shareholder value creation at a time when the Company is engaged in significant investment and transformation as part of its long-term strategy. The Compensation Committee also determined to extend the grant of Options to include Named Executive Officers, senior employee directors and other employee directors as key members of the Company leadership team and contributors to overall success. As previously disclosed, the number of Options awarded was computed as a percentage of the employee’s base salary using a Black-Scholes formula using an exercise price equal to the closing price of Company common stock of $11.00 on March 28, 2024, 14.70 on March 31, 2023, and $21.20 on April 11, 2022. The 2024 Options will vest one-third each on March 28, 2025, 2026 and 2027. The 2023 Options will vest one-third each on March 31, 2024, 2025 and 2026. The 2022 Options will vest one-third each on April 11, 2023, 2024 and 2025. <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="finTable" style="margin-right: auto; width: 85%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;

Most of the changes eliminate language specific to the requirements and limitations on grants under Internal Revenue Code Section162 (m), which has been repealed by Congress. This includes provisions related to “Performance-Based Exception” in several sections of the 2017 OSP. The BOD also increased the limit on annual grants from 50,000 to 100,000 shares per participant and eliminated separate provisions on new-hire stock grants and cash-based grants. The BOD also made minor changes to other sections of the 2017 OSP. The BOD did not increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2017 OSP or change the terms of eligibility for participants under the 2017 OSP. The foregoing description of the changes to the 2017 OSP does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2017 OSP, as amended, which is filed as Exhibit 10.12 to the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K and is incorporated by reference.

NOTE 15 – SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company operates in one reportable segment, which includes all activities related to the delivery and provisioning of voice service charges to its residential and business subscribers, access charges to IXCs for providing the carriers access to our local phone networks and the provisioning of video and data services. The determination of a single reportable segment is consistent with the consolidated financial information regularly provided to the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker, which is its CEO, who reviews and evaluates consolidated net income (loss) for purposes of assessing performance, making operating decisions, allocating resources, and planning and forecasting for future periods. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets. The following table presents the segment revenue and significant expense categories included within the product segment’s measure of profit or loss for the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024: <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="finTable" style="border-collapse: collapse;
