Additional or new tariffs imposed by various governments globally have the potential to disrupt existing supply chains and impose additional costs on our business. Existing and future retaliatory trade actions imposed by other governments, as well as possible price increases we may elect to charge, could make our products more expensive for customers, and, in turn, could make our products less competitive. …”see in full comparison

We procure all parts and certain services involved in the production of our products and subcontract most of our product manufacturing to outside firms that specialize in such services. Although most of the components of our products are available from multiple vendors, we have several single-source supplier relationships, either because alternative sources are not available or because the relationship is advantageous to us. As an example, Ventus relies almost exclusively on a manufacturer in China for the production of the hardware it provides to its customers. Further, in recent years supply chains globally have experienced stress due to a range of factors. This has impacted our own ability to procure certain inventory and services. These disruptions also caused us to order significant amounts of inventory as we were uncertain whether we would otherwise be able to procure necessary parts and components to meet customer needs. As a result, at times we held elevated levels of inventory compared to historical norms. The impacts of these circumstances driven by supply chain stress were material in some instances and it is possible additional material impacts could occur in the future. There can be no assurance that our suppliers will be able to meet our future requirements for products and components in a timely fashion. In addition, the availability of many of the components we need is dependent in part on our ability to provide our suppliers with accurate forecasts of our future requirements. Delays or lost revenue could be caused by other factors beyond our control, including late deliveries by vendors of components, or force majeure events. As an example of force majeure, a fire inmany Novemberyears 2014ago disrupted the operations at one of our contract manufacturers in Thailand. If we are required to identify alternative suppliers for any of our required components, qualification and pre-production periods could be lengthy and may cause an increase in component costs and delays in providing products to customers. Any extended interruption in the supply of any of the key components or the availability of manufacturing services that currently are obtained from limited sources could disrupt our operations and have a material adverse effect on our customer relationships and profitability.
We acquired Opengear in fiscal 2019. Although Opengear has many customers, its business historically has been significantly concentrated on its relationships with a few large customers and focused on data centers.
We acquired Ventus in fiscal 2022. Although Ventus has many customers, its business historically has been significantly concentrated on its relationships with fewer than twenty customers and it also serves a significant number of customers in the financial and gaming terminal industries. Likewise, our combined SmartSense by Digi and Jolt offerings service a significant number of large customers in the retail pharmaceutical, medical facility and retail food industries. Both Ventus and SmartSense by Digi / Jolt produce significant ARR. Any disruption or difficulties in any of the industries these businesses serve could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations (including, but not limited to, ARR), financial condition and prospects.
In addition, some larger customers may demand discounts and rebates. As a result, our future revenue opportunities with these customers may be limited, and we may face pricing pressures, which in turn could adversely impact our operating margin and our profitability. The loss of, reduction in, or pricing discounts associated with orders from key customers may significantly reduce our revenue and harm our business. Furthermore, delays in payment and/or extended payment terms from larger customers could have a disproportionate and material negative impact on our cash flows and working capital to support our business operations.
We had one distributor customer of Digi's IoT Products & Services segment that represented 13% of consolidated revenue for the twelve months ended September 30, 2025. No customers represented over 10% of consolidated revenue for the twelve months ended September 30, 2024 or 2023.

In addition, some larger customers may demand discounts and rebates. As a result, our future revenue opportunities with these customers may be limited, and we may face pricing pressures, which in turn could adversely impact our gross margin and our profitability. The loss of, reduction in, or pricing discounts associated with orders from key customers may significantly reduce our revenue and harm our business. Furthermore, delays in payment and/or extended payment terms from larger customers could have a disproportionate and material negative impact on our cash flows and working capital to support our business operations.
We participate in a services and solutions model that uses both hardware and cloud-based services. Both our SmartSense by Digi and Ventus offerings as well as our Digi 360 and Digi LifeCycle Assurance offerings deploy hardware, software and cloud-based hosting. In other areas of our business, we offer hosted services and cloud-based platform, software applications, and supporting products and services. We also employ significant human and financial resources to develop and deploy these offerings. As we work to grow and scale these offerings, these investments have impacted previously and may impact adversely in the future our grossoperating margins and profitability. While we believe we have a strong foundation to compete, it is uncertain whether our strategies will attract the users or generate the revenue required to be successful. In the past, certain customers and potential customers that use these offerings were adversely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting global economic downturn. Any future economic slowdown could impede our ability to win and retain customers. We have and expect to encounter competition from other solutions providers, some of whom may have more significant resources than us. Whether we are successful in this business model depends on a number of factors, including:
Potential new or incremental international tariffs could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Due to the global reach of our operations, changes in international trade policy could result in an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Additional or new tariffs imposed by various governments globally have the potential to disrupt existing supply chains and impose additional costs on our business. Existing and future retaliatory trade actions imposed by other governments, as well as possible price increases we may elect to charge, could make our products more expensive for customers, and, in turn, could make our products less competitive. Any existing or new, substantial tariff increases on imports within our supply chain or involving countries in which our contract manufacturers are located, should they be implemented and sustained for an extended period of time, could have a significant adverse effect on our business and our supply chain.
The combined SmartSense by Digi / Jolt product line is operated in an emerging market where technology-based solutions tosuch monitoras the monitoring of the condition of perishable goods as well as the completion of employee tasks have not been used historically. Similarly, our Ventus business is operating in an evolving marketplace where the breadth of companies with collections of assets that require connectivity and general monitoring is evolving. The operation of each of these businesses can therefore be subject to significant additional risks that are not necessarily related to our more established products and services.
•SmartSense by Digi / Jolt offerings are deployed in part to help assure perishable goods are safely preserved.preserved and that necessary operating tasks are completed timely. Ventus's offering is deployed so that dispersed collections of critical, operational assets requiring network connectivity (such as ATMs, lottery terminals, etc.) are fully operational. In each case, there is a potential risk of loss in the event of a malfunction or failure in our offerings.
•The SmartSense by Digi / Jolt product line has a limited history with us in a marketplace that is relatively early in its development and has numerous competitors. Although Ventus has a longer operating history and some of the marketplaces in which it operates are quite mature, new use cases continue to emerge as businesses increasingly rely on self-service devices in their operations with customers. We cannot provide assurances we will be successful in operating and continuing to grow either of these businesses.
In light of these risks and uncertainties, we may not be able to establish or maintain the market share of these businesses or take full advantage of businesses we may acquire in the future related to either of these businesses. There can be no assurance that we will recover our investments in SmartSense by Digi / Jolt or Ventus or that we will realize ongoing and consistent profits from these businesses. Also, there can be no assurance that diverting our management’s attention to these businesses will not have a material adverse effect on our other existing businesses, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and prospects.
Our sales and operations globally face risks related to health epidemics or pandemics that could disrupt our operations and adversely impact our sales and operating results.
Our business operations and financial results could be adversely affected by the effects of a widespread outbreak of contagious disease or other material adverse widespread public health development, such as the outbreak of the Covid-19 respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China in 2019. These effects could include the absence of one or more key employees or significant numbers or employees generally, disruptions or restrictions on our ability to maintain operations at one or more of our facilities, disruptions or restrictions to travel that is important to our operations, adverse impacts on our ability to distribute or deliver our products or services as well as temporary disruptions, restrictions or closures of the facilities of our suppliers or customers and their contract manufacturers. Any of the above absences, disruptions or restrictions could impact our sales and operating results negatively. If these absences, disruptions or restrictions are significant and material it is possible our business continuity could be jeopardized. Depending on the location of any such disruption or restriction, there may not be a solution that will be easy to implement in a timely manner or without significant expense. In addition, any significant outbreak of contagious diseases could materially and adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries or the entire world, resulting in an economic downturn that could affect demand for our products, likely impact our operating results and restrain our access to capital from lenders or other sources.
We also rely on cloud-based technologies for our solutions, as well as our internal systems. As we continue to direct a substantial portion of our sales and development efforts toward broader based solutions, such as SmartSense by Digi,Digi / Jolt, the Digi Remote Manager and Ventus offerings, we expect to store, convey and potentially process significant amounts of data produced by devices. We have completed a number of acquisitions in recent years and have inherited a range of different systems that store, convey and potentially process data and, in some cases, we may be delayed or choose not to integrate these systems into similar systems used in other parts of our business. Further, many of our business applications that we rely upon to operate our business now exist within cloud platforms that are managed by third parties. These factors may add to the risk of breach by third parties.
Issues related to the use of artificial intelligence may result in regulatory or legal action, damage our reputation, or harm our business.
We purchase many components from suppliers in other parts of the world. Product delivery times may be extended due to the distances involved or events beyond our control, requiring more lead time in ordering. In addition, ocean freight delays may occur as a result of labor problems, weather delays, expediting orders for third parties, customs issues, geopolitical tensions, or other events beyond our control. Any extended delay in receipt of the component parts could eliminate anticipated cost savings and have a material adverse effect on our customer relationships and profitability. Governments continue to impose tariffs on various products and components which may impact the pricing of certain components and inventories and could have a material adverse effect on our competitive standing in the marketplace and our financial results. Potential power outages, most notably in recent times in Asia and Europe could also have a material adverse effect ability to obtain components for our products from our foreign suppliers. Additional challenges could occur if these suppliers allocate materials and components to other customers. The Chinese government in recent years has implemented policies that adversely have impacted various industries in that nation, and it is possible they may take actions in the future that are adverse to suppliers who we rely upon. Sanctions against and actions of the Russian government resulting from the war in Ukraine may be adverse to suppliers who we rely upon. The conflictTensions in the Middle EastEast, in light of ongoing conflicts in the region since the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel may cause shipping disruptions and increased transport costs that could have a material adverse effect on our ability to obtain components from our foreign suppliers and our financial results. Finally, the introduction of new regulations by governments may also impact the availability, delivery or certain components or our ability to use certain components because of, among other potential reasons, the materials those components may contain or the location of the supplier of the component or certain materials contained in the component.
Our dependence on new product development and thedevelopment, rapid technological change that characterizes our industry make us susceptible to loss of market share resulting fromchange, competitors’ product introductions and enhancements, service capabilities and similar risks as well as from regulatory changes.changes make us susceptible to potential fluctuations in demand or loss of market share for our products.
Our industry is characterized by rapidly changing technologies, evolving industry standards, frequent new product introductions, short product life cycles in certain instances and rapidly changing customer requirements. One example of new technology that could impact the markets in which we sell products and customer requirements could be the introduction of artificial intelligence features into products or solutions offerings. The introduction of products and enhancements embodying new technologiestechnologies, thatwhether via competitors’ products or just changes in markets where we sell products because of other changes in technology more generally, can disrupt one or more markets in which we competecompete. andIn addition, the emergence of new or changed industry standards or regulations impacting our industry can also cause demand for our products to fluctuate or render existingour products obsolete or unmarketable.
Our future success will depend on our ability to enhance our existing products, to introduce new products to meet changing customer requirements and emerging technologies as well as potential regulatory changes, and to demonstrate the performance advantages and cost-effectiveness of our products over competing products. This could be impacted not only by the features we offer in our products, but also by our ability to operate efficiently relative to those with whom we compete. For instance, if competitors with more resources than us are able to deploy efficiency enhancements into their operations more quickly than us (whether via significant investments in artificial intelligence or otherwise) they may be better positioned than us to more quickly enhance existing products or introduce new products that meet customer requirements or market demands. Failure by us to modify our products to support new alternative technologies or failure to achieve widespread customer acceptance of such modified products could cause us to lose market share and cause our revenue to decline. Further, if our competitors offer better service capabilities associated with the implementation and use of their products, our business could be impacted negatively.
We may experience delays in developing and marketing product enhancements or new products that respond to technological change, evolving industry standards or regulations and changing customer requirements. There can be no assurance that we will not experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction, and marketing of these products or product enhancements, or that our new products and product enhancements will meet the requirements of the marketplace adequately and achieve any significant or sustainable degree of market acceptance in existing or additional markets. Further, demand for products can fluctuate because of changes in technology generally which could also impact our sales of products. In addition, the future introductions or announcements of products by us or one of our competitors embodying new technologies or changes in industry standards or regulations or customer requirements could render our then-existing products obsolete or unmarketable. This risk may become more pronounced as new competitors emerge in markets where we sell our products, especially if these competitors have more resources than us to develop and market new products and technologies and provide related services. There can be no assurance that the introduction or announcement of new technologies into markets where we sell products or the introduction or announcement of product offerings by us or one or more of our competitors will not cause customers to defer their purchase of our existing products, which could cause our revenue to decline.
We intend to continue to devote significant resources to research and development in the coming years to enhance our existing product offerings and develop additional product offerings. For fiscal 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively, our research and development expenses were 14.2%, 13.2% and 14.2% of our revenue. If we are unable to enhance existing products and develop new products, applications and services as a result of our research and development efforts, if we encounter delays in deploying these enhanced or new products, applications and services, or if the products, applications and services we enhance or develop are not successful, our business could be harmed. Even if we enhance existing products and develop new products, applications and services that are accepted by our target markets, the net revenue from these products, applications and services may not be sufficient to justify our investment in research and development.
Our gross margins may be subject to decline.
Our gross margins may be subject to declines which could decrease our overall profitability and impact our financial performance adversely. Some of the hardware products we sell are approaching the end of their product life cycles. These mature hardware products have sold historically at higher gross margins than our other product and service offerings. We expect this general trend of declining sales for many of our mature products to continue and the pace of the decline may accelerate. In addition, rising prices for goods and services due to inflation along with ongoing cost pressures in our industry create downward pressure on the prices at which we and other manufacturers may be able to sell hardware products. We have indicated that we would be willing to realize lower levels of gross margins from customers in return for long-term, binding purchase commitments. If this strategy were successful, it could apply downward pressure on our gross margins. Part of our strategy is to sell software applications and IoT solutions such as SmartSense by Digi, Ventus offerings and hardware bundled with services on a subscription basis. These sales may provide recurring revenues at relatively high gross margins, but these types of offerings are still in the earlier stages of adoption by customers. As such, their sales growth is not necessarily predictable or assured. Our gross margins therefore may be subject to decline unless we can implement cost reduction initiatives effectively to offset the impact of these factors.
No single customer has represented more than 10% of our revenue in any of the last three fiscal years. However, manyMany of our customers make significant one-time hardware purchases for large projects that are not repeated. As a result, our revenue may be subject to significant fluctuations based on whether we are able to close significant project-based sales opportunities. In addition, in our SmartSense by Digi / Jolt and Ventus businessesproduct lines certain customers have outsized deployments relative to other customers. It is possible we will see revenue fluctuations in these businesses based upon the scale of new deployments in different financial periods. Our failure to complete one or a series of significant sales opportunities in a particular fiscal period could have a material adverse effect on our revenue for that period.
Our operating margins may be subject to decline.
Our operating margins may be subject to declines which could decrease our overall profitability and impact our financial performance adversely. Some of the hardware products we sell are approaching the end of their product life cycles. These mature hardware products have sold historically at higher operating margins than our other product and service offerings. We expect this general trend of declining sales for many of our mature products to continue and the pace of the decline may accelerate. In addition, rising prices for goods and services due to inflation along with ongoing cost pressures in our industry create downward pressure on the prices at which we and other manufacturers may be able to sell hardware products. We have indicated that we would be willing to realize lower levels of operating margins from customers in return for long-term, binding purchase commitments. If this strategy were successful, it could apply downward pressure on our operating margins.

As such, their sales growth is not necessarily predictable or assured. Our operating margins therefore may be subject to decline unless we can implement cost reduction initiatives effectively to offset the impact of these factors.
We intend to continue to devote significant resources to research and development in the coming years to enhance our existing product offerings and develop additional product offerings. For fiscal 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, our research and development expenses were 14.8%, 14.2% and 13.2% of our revenue. If we are unable to enhance existing products and develop new products, applications and services as a result of our research and development efforts, if we encounter delays in deploying these enhanced or new products, applications and services, or if the products, applications and services we enhance or develop are not successful, our business could be harmed. Even if we enhance existing products and develop new products, applications and services that are accepted by our target markets, the net revenue from these products, applications and services may not be sufficient to justify our investment in research and development.
Our revenue could decline if we are unable to deliver continued access to digital cellular wireless carriers that we depend on to provide sufficient network capacity, reliability and security to our customers. Our financial condition could be impacted if our wireless carriers increase the prices of their services or suffer operational or technical failures. In addition, certain Digi products operate on radio bands licensed by the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC"), and any changes to these band configurations or licensing rules could affect product functionality, marketability, or regulatory compliance that could materially affect our business and financial results in an adverse manner.
Certain of our components and other materials used in producing our products are from regions susceptible to natural disasters or other events beyond our control, such as the Covid-19 pandemic that was highly disruptive to businesses during the last few years or the ongoing wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. These and other events beyond our control can adversely impact our supply chains and our business. If we are unable to procure necessary materials, we could experience a disruption to our supply chain that would hinder our ability to produce our products in a timely manner. It also could cause us to seek other sources of supply which may be more costly or which we may not be able to procure on a timely basis. We also risk damage to any tooling, equipment or inventory at the supplier’s facilities. For instance, flooding in October 2011 and a fire in November 2014 disrupted the operations at one of our contract manufacturers in Thailand. In addition, our customers may not follow their normal purchasing patterns or temporarily cease purchasing from us due to impacts to their businesses in the region, creating unexpected fluctuations or decreases in our revenue and profitability. Natural disasters, wars and other events beyond our control could have material adverse impacts on our business.
Government Regulation and Political Risks
Certain products rely on the current configuration of radio bands by FCC or other governmental regulatory bodies could require the redesign of existing and future products, which could have an adverse impact on our business.

During fiscal 20242025 we delivered on these objectives by increasing ARR by 9%31% from the end of fiscal 20232024 to the end of fiscal 2024.2025. This included an increase of 9%33% in our Products and Services business segment and 10%30% in our Solutions business segment. Our acquisition of Jolt completed in August 2025 was a significant contributor to this increase.
We utilize many financial, operational, and other metrics to evaluate our financial condition and financial performance. Below we highlight the metrics for fiscal 20242025 that we feelbelieve are most important in these evaluations, with comparisons to fiscal 20232024:

There are a number of circumstances globally that we are monitoring for potential impacts on our business. Global economic conditions and political tensions have the ability to cause business disruptions. For instance, many Western governments have imposed a range of trade restrictions on Chinese products and components that if expanded could lead to disruptions in our business. Due to the war in Ukraine, sanctions remain imposed on trade with Russia and Belarus which has the potential to disrupt the supply of raw materials needed to make components. Political tensions between China and other nations have become more heightened which could lead to similar issues. And the ongoing war in the Middle East has led to disruptions in shipping and could cause other issues such as an increase in the price of oil which could impact transport costs. Monetary and fiscal policies have fluctuated in different parts of the world to deal with both inflationary and deflationary pressures. These situations could all lead to potential adverse impacts on a wide range of businesses and could impact the businesses of our vendors and customers in ways that could impact our sales.
With respect to supply chain, conditions continued to improve during fiscal 2024, but we still experience shortages of some important components. These supply chain shortages led to component purchases at levels that were higher than historical trends to assure we could meet customer demand. This drove higher levels of inventory, which in recent quarters has normalized. In addition, because of supply chain shortages in prior years customers of some of our products stockpiled inventory to assure a steady supply was readily available for their needs. In turn, these same customers have now slowed purchases as they work through those stockpiles. We expect the effects on demand to impact future sales of some products during fiscal 2025.
In addition, to the above macro conditions, weWe believe the following trends will continue to impact our business in fiscal 20252026 and beyond:
•As recurring revenue from subscription and cloud monitoring services becomes a greater portion of our overall revenue, delivering at higher grossoperating margins rates than one-time revenue, we expect grossoperating margin rates to expand.
•Technology infrastructure necessary to support the deployment of artificial intelligence and other innovations has seen a significant increase in spending on datacenters and other related infrastructure and we have been and expect to be a beneficiary of this ongoing trend.
In addition to the above trends, there are a number of macro circumstances globally that we continue to monitor for potential impacts on our business. These include evolving international trade policies, global economic conditions, and political tensions that may have the potential to disrupt our business or those of our vendors or customers.
Tariffs imposed by various governments globally have the potential to disrupt existing supply chains and impose additional costs on our business. For instance, escalations in the trade conflict with China could lead to export restrictions on critical components and technologies and higher tariffs that , if implemented, could impact our supply chain and product costs.
Monetary and fiscal policies continue to fluctuate globally in response to inflationary and deflationary pressures. These situations could all lead to potential adverse impacts on a wide range of businesses and could affect the businesses of our vendors and customers in ways that could harm our business. Due to the war in Ukraine, sanctions remain imposed on trade with Russia and Belarus which has the potential to disrupt the supply of raw materials needed to make components. Political tensions between China and other nations have intensified, which could lead to similar issues. Additionally, while a ceasefire agreement recently eased some geopolitical risk in the Middle East, the region remains volatile, which could all lead to disruptions in shipping routes and elevated oil prices that could impact our transportation costs.

COST OF GOODS SOLD AND GROSS PROFIT BY SEGMENT
Below are our segments' cost of goods sold and gross profit as a percentage of their respective total revenue:
IoT Product & Services
IoT Products & Services gross profit margin increased 20 basis points for fiscal 2024 as compared to the prior fiscal year. This increase was driven by increased recurring revenue at high margin rates and by a reduction in inventory adjustments and reduced inflationary pressures, partially offset by decreased product volume.
The IoT Solutions grossGross profit margin of 62.9% increased 820400 basis points for fiscal 20242025 as compared to the prior fiscal year.

These variances include the incremental operating expenses from the Jolt acquisition.
OPERATING INCOME
IoT Products & Services
IoT Products & Services operating income increased 50 basis points for fiscal 2025, as compared to fiscal 2024. This increase was the result of favorable margin mix partially offset by an increase in operating expenses and increased inventory-related expenses.
IoT Solutions operating income increased 670 basis points for fiscal 2025, as compared to fiscal 2024. This increase was the result of favorable margin mix and a $5.7 million decrease in litigation reserves partially offset by increases in other operating expenses.
The $0.1$18.9 million increasedecrease in other expense in fiscal 20242025 from fiscal 20232024 was driven by thea $9.7write-off millionof debt issuance costcosts in 2024 and a reduction in interest expense realizeddue upon the extinguishment of our prior credit facility partially offset byto a decrease in our average debt outstanding and our effective interest rate on debt(see Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information).
Our effective income tax expense (benefit) rates were 1.5%,18.3%, 0.6%1.5% and (4.1)%0.6% for fiscal 2024,2025, 20232024 and 2022,2023, respectively. The increase from fiscal 2024 to 2025 was a result of an increase in pre-tax earnings, on-time tax effects of the Jolt acquisition completed in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2025 and a change in the tax credits estimate. Our effective tax rate will vary based on a variety of factors. These include our overall profitability, the geographical mix of income before taxes and related statutory tax rate in each jurisdiction, and discrete events, such as settlement of audits (see Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements).

Artificial intelligence (“AI”) tools may enable threat actors to discover and exploit vulnerabilities in our products and infrastructure, and to conduct more sophisticated attacks, faster than we are able to respond.
Frontier AI models offered by major developers, as well as various open-source models that are more difficult for governments to regulate, are increasingly capable of automating vulnerability discovery, accelerating the development of exploits, and identifying security weaknesses across complex product portfolios at a speed and scale that was not previously achievable. Nation-state actors and other sophisticated threat actors may also use these AI tools to enhance or automate additional attack vectors, including AI-generated phishing and social engineering campaigns, deepfake-based impersonation, and agentic AI systems capable of executing multi-stage attacks, such as ransomware or extortion campaigns, with limited human involvement. We believe this represents a material change in the threat environment facing many companies, including those like ours that develop and sell networked hardware and software products.
Our product portfolio includes devices across a range of patchability profiles. Some products support over-the-air updates; others require full firmware replacement; others depend on OEM licensees to develop and distribute patches to end customers; and a legacy population of devices cannot be fully remediated through software updates at all. Our reliance on OEM licensees and other third parties to develop, test, and distribute patches may also expose us to additional supply-chain risk, as AI tools may similarly accelerate the discovery and exploitation of vulnerabilities in third-party components and dependencies that are outside our direct control. In an environment where the window between vulnerability identification and active exploitation may be materially shorter than it has historically been, our ability to respond to newly discovered vulnerabilities across all affected products and internal systems within committed timeframes cannot be guaranteed.
Several of our management platforms are cloud-based and operate at a layer above individual devices, aggregating access across many devices and customers. A security incident affecting any one of these platforms could affect multiple enterprise customers simultaneously, which is categorically different in scope and consequence from a device-level vulnerability. Our incident response protocols, contractual commitments, and insurance coverage may not fully account for this concentration risk, and any resulting fines, penalties, or damages may not be fully covered by our insurance policies.
The volume of vulnerabilities identified across our product lines and internal systems may also increase materially as AI-assisted discovery tools become more widely available to both security researchers and malicious actors. Our ability to triage, assess, and remediate vulnerabilities at elevated volume while meeting existing customer service-level agreement (SLA) commitments and regulatory reporting obligations (such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act reporting requirements effective September 2026) may be constrained by available internal resources and the architectural limitations described above. If we are unable to respond to vulnerabilities at the pace the current threat environment demands, we may face increased costs, customer attrition, contractual liability, regulatory investigations or actions, litigation, regulatory penalties, loss of revenue or profits, loss of customers or sales, and reputational harm.

Non-GAAP measures are not substitutes for GAAPsee in full comparisonmeasuresmeasures, such as net income, for the purpose of analyzing financial performance. The disclosure of these measures does not reflect all charges and gains that actually were recognized by Digi. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with,or,or an alternative for measures prepared in accordancewithwith,GAAPgenerally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies or presented by us in prior reports. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. We believe that non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. We believe these measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDAdoesand Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect our cash expenditures, the cash requirements for the replacement of depreciated and amortized assets, or changes in or cash requirements for our working capital needs.We believe that providing historical and adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share, respectively, exclusive of such items as reversals of tax reserves, discrete tax benefits, restructuring charges and reversals, intangible amortization, stock-based compensation, other non-operating income/expense, adjustments to estimates of contingent consideration and acquisition-related expenses related to acquisition permits investors to compare results with prior periods that did not include these items. Management uses the aforementioned non-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and to gain an understanding of our comparative operating performance. In addition, certain of our stockholders have expressed an interest in seeing financial performance measures exclusive of the impact of these matters, which while important, are not central to the core operations of our business. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, defined as EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses, restructuring charges and reversals and changes in fair value of contingent consideration, is useful to investors to evaluate our core operating results and financial performance because it excludes items that are significant non-cash or non-recurring expenses reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue is useful to investors because it provides a reliable and consistent approach to measuring our performance from year to year and in assessing our performance against that of other companies. We believe this information helps compare operating results and corporate performance exclusive of the impact of our capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired.
“We believe that providing historical and adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share, respectively, exclusive of such items as reversals of tax reserves, discrete tax benefits, restructuring charges and reversals, intangible amortization, stock-based compensation, other non-operating income/expense and acquisition-related expenses related to acquisitions permits investors to compare results with prior periods that did not include these items. …”see in full comparison

Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA doesand Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect our cash expenditures, the cash requirements for the replacement of depreciated and amortized assets, or changes in or cash requirements for our working capital needs. We believe that providing historical and adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share, respectively, exclusive of such items as reversals of tax reserves, discrete tax benefits, restructuring charges and reversals, intangible amortization, stock-based compensation, other non-operating income/expense, adjustments to estimates of contingent consideration and acquisition-related expenses related to acquisition permits investors to compare results with prior periods that did not include these items. Management uses the aforementioned non-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and to gain an understanding of our comparative operating performance. In addition, certain of our stockholders have expressed an interest in seeing financial performance measures exclusive of the impact of these matters, which while important, are not central to the core operations of our business. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, defined as EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses, restructuring charges and reversals and changes in fair value of contingent consideration, is useful to investors to evaluate our core operating results and financial performance because it excludes items that are significant non-cash or non-recurring expenses reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue is useful to investors because it provides a reliable and consistent approach to measuring our performance from year to year and in assessing our performance against that of other companies. We believe this information helps compare operating results and corporate performance exclusive of the impact of our capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired.

(2)For the three and sixnine months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, discrete tax benefits are a result of changes in excess tax benefits recognized on stock compensation.
Historically we have financed our operations and capital expenditures principally with funds generated from operations. In fiscal 2022 we issued debt to fund our acquisition of Ventus and in fiscal 2023 we extinguished the debt, replacing it with a revolving credit facility. We made draws on this credit facility to fund our acquisitions of Jolt in August 2025 and Particle in January 2026. Our liquidity requirements arise from our working capital needs, and, to a lesser extent, from our need to fund capital expenditures to support our current operations and facilitate growth and expansion.
We intend to continue to deleverage the Company's balance sheet.
Acquisitions remain a top capital priority for Digi as reflected by our acquisition of Particle announced on January 27.
We will continue to be disciplined in our approach and act when we believe an opportunity is appropriate to execute in the context of prevailing market conditions.
Below our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the sixnine months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025 are summarized:
Cash flows from operating activities increased $21.1$30.5 million. This was largely driven by a $19.3 million decrease in net operating assets for the first half of fiscal 2026 compared to a $11.5 million increase in the first half of fiscal 2025, as well as a $4.9$11.4 million decrease in deferred income tax benefit in the first halfnine months of fiscal 20262026, primarily relating to accelerated utilization of tax assets caused by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, compared to a small$2.5 million increase in the first halfnine months of fiscal 2025, a $4.9 million increase in depreciation, a $2.4$7.9 million increase in net incomeincome, a $7.1 million increase in theamortization first half of fiscal 2026expense and a smaller increasesincrease in stock based compensation expense and gains on sales of intangible assets.expense.
Cash flows used in financing activities decreased $38.6$31.7 million. This was driven by a $34.0 million draw on our revolving credit agreement to fund the acquisition of Particle, apartially smalloffset decreaseby an increase in debt payments in the first halfnine months of fiscal 2026 compared to the first halfnine months of fiscal 2025, and higher proceeds from stock option exercises and employee stock purchase plan transactions.2025.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
The following table summarizes our contractual obligations at MarchJune 31,30, 2026:
The operating leases included above primarily relate to office space. The table above does not include possible payments for uncertain tax positions. Our reserve for uncertain tax positions, including accrued interest and penalties, was $0.2 million as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026. Due to the nature of the underlying liabilities and the extended time often needed to resolve income tax uncertainties, we cannot make reliable estimates of the amount or timing of future cash payments that may be required to settle these liabilities. The table above also does not include those obligations for royalties under license agreements as these royalties are calculated based on future sales of licensed products and we cannot make reliable estimates of the amount of cash payments.
