Legal Proceedings
In the ordinary course of business, the Company or its business partners are from time to time subject to legal claims and regulatory actions that could have a material adverse effect on its business or financial position. The Company assesses its potential liability in such situations by analyzing the possible outcomes of various litigation, regulatory, and settlement strategies. If the Company determines that a material loss is probable and its amount can be reasonably estimated, it will accrue an amount equal to the estimated loss. As of June 30, 2026, the Company did not accrue any estimated losses related to its ongoing legal proceedings.
