NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.General
Basis of Presentation
The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Specifically, we make estimates and assumptions in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for inventory adjustments, the accrual of bad debts, credit losses on guaranteed loans, customer sales returns, and volume incentives earned, among others. Inventory adjustments (including adjustments for a majority of inventories that are valued under the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method) are accrued on an interim basis and adjusted in the fourth quarter based on the annual book to physical inventory adjustment and LIFO valuation. Reserves for bad debts, credit losses on guaranteed loans and customer sales returns are estimated and accrued on an interim basis based on a consideration of historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Volume incentives are estimated based upon cumulative and projected purchasing levels.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs and any not listed below were assessed and determined to not be applicable or are expected to have an immaterial impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This standard requires disclosures of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of other segment items by reportable segment, and all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 to be included in interim periods. The guidance is effective for our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on our financial statements and disclosures.
Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The standard requires disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items, income before tax expense disaggregated between domestic and foreign, income tax expense disaggregated by federal, state and foreign, as well as further information on income taxes paid. The guidance is effective for our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The guidance should be applied on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on our financial statements and disclosures.
Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Derivatives and Hedging
We are exposed to various risks arising from business operations and market conditions, including fluctuations in certain foreign currencies. We use derivative and non-derivative instruments as risk management tools to mitigate the potential impact of foreign exchange rate risks. The objective of using these tools is to reduce fluctuations in our earnings and cash flows associated with changes in these rates. Derivative instruments are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and are designated as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. They are valued using inputs other than quoted prices, such as foreign exchange rates and yield curves.
The following table summarizes the classification and carrying amounts of the derivative instruments and the foreign currency denominated debt, a non-derivative financial instrument, that are designated and qualify as part of hedging relationships (in thousands):

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
As of June 30, 2024, the fair value of our senior unsecured notes was approximately $3.6 billion, which are designated as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Our valuation technique is based primarily on prices and other relevant information generated by observable transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

Guarantees
We guarantee the borrowings of certain independently controlled automotive parts stores and businesses (“independents”) and certain other affiliates in which we have a noncontrolling equity ownership interest (“affiliates”). While such borrowings of the independents and affiliates are outstanding, we are required to maintain compliance with certain covenants. As of June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all such covenants.
As of June 30, 2024, the total borrowings of the independents and affiliates subject to guarantee by us were approximately $757 million. These loans generally mature over periods from to six years . We regularly monitor the performance of these loans and the ongoing operating results, financial condition and ratings from credit rating agencies of the independents and affiliates that participate in the guarantee programs. In the event that we are required to make payments in connection with these guarantees, we would obtain and liquidate certain collateral pledged by the independents or affiliates (e.g., accounts receivable and inventory) to recover all or a substantial portion of the amounts paid under the guarantees. We recognize a liability equal to the current expected credit losses over the lives of the loans in the guaranteed loan portfolio, based on a consideration of historical experience, current conditions, the nature and expected value of any collateral, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. To date, we have not had significant losses in connection with guarantees of independents’ and affiliates’ borrowings and the current expected credit loss reserve is not material. As of June 30, 2024, there are no material guaranteed loans for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and recovery is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral.
As of June 30, 2024, we have recognized $52
Supply Chain Finance Programs
Several global financial institutions offer voluntary supply chain finance (“SCF”) programs which enable our suppliers (generally those that grant extended terms), at their sole discretion, to sell their receivables from us to these financial institutions on a non-recourse basis at a rate that takes advantage of our credit rating and may be beneficial to them. We and our suppliers agree on commercial terms for the goods and services we procure, including prices, quantities and payment terms, regardless of whether the supplier elects to participate in the SCF program. Our current payment terms with the majority of our suppliers range from 30 to 360 days. The suppliers sell goods or services, as applicable, to us and they issue the associated invoices to us based on the agreed-upon contractual terms. Then, if they are participating in the SCF program, our suppliers, at their sole discretion, determine which invoices, if any, they want to sell to the financial institutions. In turn, we direct payment to the financial institutions, rather than the suppliers, for the invoices sold to the financial institutions. No guarantees are provided by us or any of our subsidiaries on third-party performance under the SCF program; however, we guarantee the payment by our subsidiaries to the financial institutions participating in the SCF program for the applicable invoices. We have no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to participate in the SCF program, and we have no direct financial relationship with the financial institutions, as it relates to the SCF program. Accordingly, amounts due to our suppliers that elected to participate in the SCF program are included in the line item in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

3. Accounts Receivable Sales Agreement
Under our accounts receivable sales agreement (the "A/R Sales Agreement"), we continuously sell designated pools of receivables as they are originated by us and certain U.S. subsidiaries to a separate bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity (“SPE”). The A/R Sales Agreement has a three-year term expiring in January 2025, which we intend to renew.
We continue to be involved with the receivables transferred by the SPE to the unaffiliated financial institutions by providing collection services. As cash is collected on sold receivables, the SPE continuously transfers ownership and control of new qualifying receivables to the unaffiliated financial institutions so that the total principal amount outstanding of receivables sold is approximately $1.0 billion at any point in time (which is the maximum amount allowed under the agreement as amended on January 3, 2022).
The total principal amount outstanding of receivables sold is approximately $1.0 1.5 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively.
The following table summarizes the activity and amounts outstanding under the A/R Sales Agreement as of:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Receivables sold to the financial institutions and derecognized | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cash collected on sold receivables | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Continuous cash activity related to the A/R Sales Agreement is reflected in net cash provided by operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The SPE incurs fees due to the unaffiliated financial institutions related to the accounts receivable sales transactions. Those fees, which totaled $31 million and $29 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, are recorded within other non-operating (income) expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The SPE has a recourse obligation to repurchase from the unaffiliated financial institutions any previously sold receivables that are not collected due to the occurrence of certain events, including credit quality deterioration and customer sales returns. The reserve recognized for this recourse obligation as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is not material. The servicing liability related to our collection services also is not material, given the high quality of the customers underlying the receivables and the anticipated short collection period.

5. Acquisitions
We acquired several businesses for approximately $651 million, which includes certain non-cash consideration, and $116 million, net of cash acquired, during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. We recognized approximately $100 million and $5 million of revenue related to our current year Automotive and Industrial acquisitions, respectively. We recorded approximately $283 million of goodwill and other intangible assets associated with these acquisitions. Other intangible assets acquired of $120 million consisted of customer relationships with weighted average amortization lives of 19 years. For each acquisition, we allocate the purchase price to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the respective acquisition date. The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary. Additional adjustments, particularly to inventory and intangible assets, may be made to the acquisition accounting during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the respective acquisition date. The results of operations for acquired businesses are included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income beginning on their respective acquisition dates.
These acquisitions included MPEC, the largest independent owner of NAPA Auto Part stores in the U.S., which we acquired on April 30, 2024. We recognized approximately $100 million of goodwill and other intangible assets associated with MPEC. Approximate values of other assets acquired and liabilities assumed included inventory of $200 million, operating lease assets of $200 million and operating lease liabilities of $200 million.

Generally, tax effects in AOCL are established at the currently enacted tax rate and reclassified to net income in the same period that the related pre-tax AOCL reclassifications are recognized.
7. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
We are subject to various legal proceedings, many involving routine litigation incidental to the businesses, including approximately 2,516 pending product liability lawsuits resulting from our national distribution of automotive parts and supplies. Many of these involve claims of personal injury allegedly resulting from the use of automotive parts we distributed. The amount accrued for pending and future claims was $225 million as of June 30, 2024, which represents our best estimate of the liability within our calculated range of $180 million to $255 million, discounted using a discount rate of 4.36 %. The amount accrued for pending and future claims was $244 million as of December 31, 2023, which represents our best estimate of the liability within our calculated range of $196 million to $277 million, discounted using a discount rate of 3.88 %. Our undiscounted product liability was $285 million and $308 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. There have been no significant developments to the information presented in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K with respect to litigation or commitments and contingencies.
Environmental Liabilities
Item 103 of SEC Regulation S-K requires disclosure of certain environmental matters when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and such proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions that we reasonably believe will exceed an applied threshold not to exceed $1 million. Applying this threshold, there are no environmental matters to disclose for this period.

8. Restructuring and other costs
In February 2024, we approved and initiated a global restructuring designed to better align our assets and further improve the efficiency of the business. This initiative includes an announced voluntary retirement offer in the U.S., along with a rationalization and optimization of certain distribution centers, stores and other facilities.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred $37 million and $120 million, respectively, in costs related to our global restructuring initiative. We expect to incur total costs up to $200 million related to the global restructuring efforts in 2024 and to substantially complete the initiative by the end of 2025. We may incur additional charges not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur, including in connection with the implementation of these initiatives. The global restructuring was approved and funded by our corporate office and therefore these costs are not allocated to our segments.
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, costs of $37 million include severance and other employee costs of $4 million, other restructuring costs of $26 million, and restructuring inventory liquidation costs of $7 million, which are reflected in cost of goods sold.
The table below summarizes the activity related to these costs for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Key Performance Indicators
We consider a variety of performance and financial measures in assessing our business, and the key performance indicators used to measure our results are Comparable Sales, Gross Profit and Gross Margin, Selling, Administrative and Other Expenses ("SG&A"), Segment Profit and Segment Margin, and Net Income and EBITDA along with their adjusted measures. For more information regarding our key performance indicators please reference the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Results of Operations
Our second quarter year-over-year net sales growth of 0.8% was driven by growth in Automotive, partially offset by a modest decline at Industrial. The macroeconomic environment remained challenging, with lagging industrial production driving soft demand and difficult trading conditions in Industrial. Performance in our U.S. and European automotive businesses also reflected moderating demand and a softer pricing environment from lower inflation. Despite this, Automotive sales continued to benefit from the prior year European acquisitions and current quarter acquisitions in the U.S. On April 30, we completed the acquisition of MPEC, our largest independent owner of NAPA Auto Parts stores in the U.S., operating 181 locations.
Second quarter gross margin improved 50 basis points year-over-year, however net income declined $49 million primarily due to restructuring costs, investments in technology, and increased personnel costs resulting from acquisitions and inflation.
Our results of operations are summarized below for the three and six months ending June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Net Sales
For the three months ended June 30, 2024 our net sales increased slightly compared to 2023. We experienced a 2.2% benefit from acquisitions, partially offset by a 0.9% decrease in comparable sales and a net unfavorable impact of foreign currency and other of 0.5%.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024 our net sales increased slightly compared to 2023. We experienced a 2.1% benefit from acquisitions, partially offset by a 0.9% decrease in comparable sales and a net unfavorable impact of foreign currency and other of 0.6%.
The decrease in comparable sales is primarily driven by a sales decline in our industrial business due to the impact of weaker macro-economic conditions on our customers in 2024 as discussed below.
Automotive
Automotive sales for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $3.7 billion, an increase of 2.0% from 2023. The increase consisted of a 3.1% benefit from acquisitions which was primarily driven by our European acquisitions and the MPEC acquisition, partially offset by a 0.6% decrease in comparable sales and a 0.5% unfavorable impact of foreign currency and other. The slight decrease in comparable sales reflects softened demand in our U.S. and European businesses and the negative impact of moderating inflation.
Automotive sales for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $7.3 billion, an increase of 2.0% from 2023. The increase consisted of a 3.0% benefit from acquisitions, partially offset by a 0.2% decrease in comparable sales and a 0.8% unfavorable impact of foreign currency and other.
Industrial
Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $2.2 billion, a decrease of 1.1% compared to 2023. The decrease reflects a 1.6% decrease in comparable sales and a 0.2% unfavorable impact of foreign currency, slightly offset by a 0.7% benefit from acquisitions.
Net sales for six months ended June 30, 2024 were $4.4 billion, a decrease of 1.6% compared to 2023. The decrease reflects a 2.1% decrease in comparable sales and a 0.1% unfavorable impact of foreign currency, slightly offset by a 0.6% benefit from acquisitions.
The decrease in comparable sales reflects moderation in demand in certain customer sectors and continued softness in industrial production. We continue to experience an adverse macro-economic environment when compared to 2023, which caused slowing global industrial demand.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased $46 million, or 2.1%, compared to last year, and gross margin increased 50 basis points to 36.6% compared to the same period of the previous year. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased $107 million, or 2.6% compared to the same period in the prior year. Gross margin increased 70 basis points to 36.2% compared to that same period of the previous year.
These increases reflect the positive contributions of our strategic category management and sourcing initiatives. We continue to invest in enhancing technology to generate better pricing data and analytics, which allows us to shift pricing dynamics across each market we serve.
Operating Expenses
SG&A expenses represent 27.6% and 27.4% of sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to 26.7% and 26.5% in the prior year. We experienced increased personnel and rent costs primarily related to acquisitions, annual merit wage increases and inflation.
In addition, we incurred $37 million of costs related to the global restructuring initiative and $25 million primarily related to the acquisition and integration of MPEC, which closed on April 30, 2024. Refer to the Restructuring Footnote in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on our global restructuring initiative.
Segment Profit
Automotive
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, Automotive segment profit decreased 4.7% compared to the same period in 2023, and Automotive segment profit margin decreased to 8.4% compared to 9.0% in the same
19
period last year. For six months ended June 30, 2024, Automotive segment profit decreased 1.2% compared to the same period in 2023, and Automotive segment profit margin decreased to 8.0% compared to 8.3% for the same period last year. These decreases are primarily due to increased freight costs as well as personnel costs resulting from acquisitions and inflation.
Industrial
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, Industrial segment profit decreased 2.3% compared to the same period in 2023 and Industrial segment profit margin was 12.4%, down 10 basis points from the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, Industrial segment profit increased 0.4% compared to the same period last year and Industrial segment profit margin increased to 12.3% compared to 12.1% in the same period in the previous year. The decrease in segment profit for the three months ended June 30, 2024 resulted from deleveraging expenses driven by lower sales. The improvements in the six months ended June 30, 2024 occurred, despite a year-over-year sales decline of 1.6%, primarily due to expense management and ongoing execution of our supply chain initiatives and strategic category management.
Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024 was 23.5% compared to 24.1% and 24.5% for the same periods in 2023, respectively. The rate decrease is primarily due to expanded investment benefits and earnings mix shift across our global businesses.
Net Income
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, net income was $296 million, a decrease of 14.2% compared to net income of $344 million for the same three month period of the prior year. On a per share diluted basis, net income was $2.11, a decrease of 13.5% compared to $2.44 in 2023. These decreases are primarily due to $37 million of costs related to the global restructuring initiative and $25 million primarily related to the acquisition of MPEC. Adjusted net income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $342 million, a decrease of 0.9% compared to net income of $344 million for the same period of 2023. On a per share diluted basis, adjusted net income was $2.44, remaining flat compared to diluted earnings per share of $2.44 last year. Second quarter 2024 adjusted EBITDA was $569 million, an increase of 1.4% from $561 million in 2023.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net income was $544 million, a decrease of 16.0% compared to net income of $648 million for the same three month period of the prior year. On a per share diluted basis, net income was $3.89, a decrease of 15.1% compared to $4.58 in 2023. These decreases are primarily due to $120 million of costs related to the global restructuring initiative and $25 million primarily related to the acquisition of MPEC. Adjusted net income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $652 million an increase of 0.6% compared to net income of $648 million in 2023. On a per share diluted basis, adjusted net income was $4.66, an increase of 1.7% compared to diluted earnings per share of $4.58 last year. Second quarter 2024 adjusted EBITDA was $1.09 billion, an increase of 1.5% from EBITDA of $1.07 billion from 2023.
The increases in these adjusted measures reflect the positive effects of executing our strategic category management and other initiatives, as discussed more fully in the commentary above.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, total segment profit, total segment margin, and adjusted EBITDA for each segment are non-GAAP measures (see table below for reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures).
The following tables set forth reconciliations of net income and diluted EPS to adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS, respectively, to account for the impact of adjustments. We also include reconciliations from net income to adjusted EBITDA, net income to total segment profit and total segment margin and segment profit to segment EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for each segment. We believe that the presentation of adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, total segment profit and adjusted EBITDA, which are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, when considered together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to those measures, provide meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors that is indicative of our core operations. We consider these metrics useful to investors because they provide greater transparency into management’s view and assessment of our ongoing operating performance by removing items management believes are not representative of our operations and may distort our longer-term operating trends. In the case of adjusted EBITDA by segment, we believe this additional metric is useful to investors as it provides further insight into the performance of our segments. We believe the non-GAAP metrics included herein also enhance the comparability of our results from period to period and with our competitors, as well as to show ongoing results from operations distinct from items that are infrequent or not associated with our core operations. For example, for the

three and six months ended June 30, 2024, adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude costs relating to our global restructuring initiative and acquisition of Motor Parts and Equipment Corporation. We do not, nor do we suggest investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP financial information.

(1) Amount reflects costs related to the global restructuring initiative which includes a voluntary retirement offer in the U.S., inventory liquidation costs, and rationalization and optimization of certain distribution centers, stores and other facilities.
(2) Amount primarily reflects integration costs related to the completion of the acquisition of MPEC in April 2024, including professional services costs, personnel costs, and lease and other exit costs.
(3) We determine the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments by considering the tax laws and statutory income tax rates applicable in the tax jurisdictions of the underlying non-GAAP adjustments, including any related valuation allowances. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we applied the statutory income tax rates to the taxable portion of all of our adjustments, which resulted in a tax impact of $16 million and $37 million.

Financial Condition
Our cash balance was $555 million as of June 30, 2024, a decrease of $547 million from December 31, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we had net cash provided by operating activities of $612 million, net cash used in investing activities of $762 million and net cash used in financing activities of $382 million.
The cash provided by operating activities increased as compared to prior year primarily driven by changes in working capital. We had $762 million in net cash used for investing activities, consisting of capital expenditures and acquisitions and other investing activities of $839 million, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment and the divestiture of businesses. The financing activities consisted primarily of $272 million for dividends paid to our shareholders and $75 million of stock repurchases.
Accounts receivable increased $303 million, or 13.6%, from December 31, 2023. Inventory increased $427 million, or 9.1%. Accounts receivable and inventory were both impacted by second quarter increases in revenues and related product demand. Inventory also increased $200 million as a result of the MPEC acquisition. Accounts payable increased $432 million, or 7.9% from December 31, 2023, in line with the increase in inventory. Total debt of $3.9 billion at June 30, 2024 decreased $26 million, or 0.7%, from December 31, 2023.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We ended the quarter with $2.0 billion of total liquidity. Total liquidity comprises of $555 million of cash and cash equivalents and $1.4 billion of our $1.5 billion revolving credit facility available after the effect of $100 million of commercial paper outstanding as of June 30, 2024. From time to time, we may enter into other credit facilities or financing arrangements to provide additional liquidity and to manage against foreign currency risk. We currently believe that the existing lines of credit, commercial paper program, and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund anticipated operations for the foreseeable future.
We have a strong cash position and solid financial strength to pursue strategic growth opportunities through disciplined, strategic capital deployment. Our key priorities include the reinvestment in our businesses through capital expenditures, mergers and acquisitions, the dividend and share repurchases. We have plans for additional investments in our businesses to drive growth, improve efficiencies and productivity, and drive shareholder value.
23
We expect to be able to continue to borrow funds at reasonable rates over the long term. At June 30, 2024, our total average cost of debt was 3.25%, and we remain in compliance with all covenants connected with our borrowings. In addition, we repaid the 155 million Australian dollar principal amount of our Series A Senior Unsecured Note, due June 30, 2024.
Any failure to comply with our debt covenants or restrictions could result in a default under our financing arrangements or could require us to obtain waivers from our lenders for failure to comply with these restrictions. The occurrence of a default that remains uncured or the inability to secure a necessary consent or waiver could create cross defaults under other debt arrangements and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
On February 15, 2024, we announced a 5.3% increase in the regular quarterly cash dividend for 2024. Our Board of Directors increased the cash dividend payable to an annual rate of $4.00 per share compared with the prior year dividend of $3.80 per share. We have paid a cash dividend every year since going public in 1948, and 2024 marks the 68th consecutive year of increased dividends paid to shareholders.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 of the SEC that occurred during our last quarter ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
