As previously disclosed, Xorail, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Xorail”), received notices from Denver Transit Constructors (“DTC”) alleging breach of contract related to the operation of a wireless crossing system provided by Xorail for use by the Denver Regional Transit District ("RTD"). DTC's alleged damages stemmed from a delay in approval of the wireless crossing system by regulatory authorities, which resulted in the interim use of flaggers at the crossings. Xorail denied DTC's assertions, stating that the system satisfied the contractual requirements. In December 2025, DTC and Xorail agreed to settle all of DTC's claims. The settlement was not material to the Company's operating results or cash flows.
