Q3 2026 (quarter ended September 30, 2026) shows revenue down 5.2% to $492.2 million, but Adjusted EBITDA jumped to $51.5 million (10.5% margin) from $43.4 million, non-GAAP EPS doubled to $0.22, and free cash flow swung to positive $27.9 million from negative $9.6 million. Net debt fell to $743.6 million and the credit facility was extended to November 2028 on November 9, 2026, addressing the main balance-sheet risk. The revenue decline and full-year guidance merely reaffirmed (not raised) argue against a larger rally.
