NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

Daseke isWe are a premier North American transportation solutions specialist dedicated to servicing challenging industrial end-markets through experienced people and a fleet of more than 4,5004,800 tractors and 11,00010,800 flatbed and specialized trailers, and has operations throughouttrailers. The Company delivers its diverse offering of solutions to thousands of customers across the United States, Canada and Mexico. TheIn addition to transporting freight with tractors and trailers, the Company also provides logistical planning and warehousing servicessolutions to customers. The Company is subject to regulation by the Department of Transportation, the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, and various state regulatory authorities in the United States. The Company is also subject to regulation by the Ministries of Transportation and Communications and various provincial regulatory authorities in Canada.

Basis of Presentation

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 20222023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2022.2023.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 20212022 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. For additional information, including the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended December 31, 20212022 as set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 23, 2022.2023.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows the accounting guidance for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The three levels of the fair value framework are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions or external inputs from inactive markets.

A financial asset or liability’s classification within the framework is determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company may be required, on a non-recurring basis, to adjust the carrying value of the Company’s property and equipment, intangible assets, goodwill and contingent consideration. When necessary, these valuations are determined by the Company using Level 3 inputs. These assets are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence that impairment may exist.

The Company’s warrant liabilities are included within the Level 1 and Level 3 fair value hierarchy. There was 0 warrant liability as of June 30, 2022. The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s warrant liability that were accounted for at fair value as of December 31, 2021 (in millions):

Common Stock Purchase Warrants

The Company’sDaseke’s common stock purchase warrants expired in accordance with their terms on February 27, 2022 and are no longer exercisable. During the first quarter of 2022, prior to their expiration, there were 1,635,296 warrants exercised for 817,648 shares of the Company’sDaseke’s common stock in exchange for $9.4 million in proceeds to the Company.


Series B Preferred Stock

In May 2023, Daseke redeemed all 20,000 shares of issued and outstanding Series B-1 perpetual preferred stock by paying $20.3 million in cash, which consisted of $20.0 million liquidation preference, plus $0.3 million in accrued and unpaid dividends. As of June 30, 2023, as a result of such redemption, the Company has recorded an estimated $0.2 million excise tax liability for share repurchases, net of issuances.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020,June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued ASU 2020-06 – Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The guidance simplifies the accounting for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock by removing the requirements to separately present certain conversion features in equity. In addition, the amendments also simplify the guidance in ASC Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, by removing certain criteria that must be satisfied in order to classify a contract as equity, which is expected to decrease the number of freestanding instruments and embedded derivatives accounted for as assets or liabilities. Finally, the amendments revise the guidance on calculating earnings per share, requiring use of the if-converted method for all convertible instruments and rescinding an entity’s ability to rebut the presumption of share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or other assets. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2022. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments provide optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying US GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The provisions of this update are effective for all entities as of March 20, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. In addition, in January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Scope, to clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. These amendments are effective immediately and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. ASU 2020-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No.2019-12 – Income Taxes (Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in the accounting standards. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 eliminate certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2022. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASUStandard Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Accounting for Credit Losses (Topic 326). ASU 2016-13 requires the use of an “expected loss” model on certain types of financial instruments. The ASU sets forth a “current expected credit loss” model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets, including trade receivables. In addition, in March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures to improve the decision usefulness of information provided to investors concerning certain loan refinancings, restructurings and writeoffs. The new standard will become effective for the Company beginning with the first quarteradopted these ASUs as of 2023 and isJanuary 1, 2023. The adoption did not expected to have a material impact on the Company’sCompany's consolidated financial statements.

Lease Income

The Company leases tractors and trailers to certain of its owner operators and accounts for these transactions as operating leases. These leases typically have terms of 30 to 72 months and are collateralized by a security interest in the related revenue equipment. The Company recognizes income for these leases as payments are received over the lease term, which are reported inas a reduction of purchased freight on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Company's equipment leases may include options for the lessee to purchase the equipment at the end of the lease term or terminate the lease prior to the end of the lease term. When an asset reaches the end of its useful economic life, the Company disposes of the asset.

Lease income from lease payments related to these operating leases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $8.18.2 million and $15.78.1 million, respectively. Lease income from lease payments related to these operating leases for the three and six months ended June 30, 20212023 and 2022 was $7.016.1 million and $13.015.7 million, respectively.

NOTE 2 – ACQUISITIONS

On March 3, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of SJ Transportation Co., Inc. (SJ Transportation) for consideration net of cash acquired of $19.3 million, which was funded with cash on hand. The acquisition was a stock purchase under US GAAP. A Section 338(h)(10) election is being filed for the entity acquired which will deem the acquisition as an asset purchase for tax purposes; therefore approximately $8.1 million of the values assigned to goodwill are expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Approximately $0.2 million of transaction expenses were incurred in the acquisition, which are not deductible for tax purposes.

The following is a summary of the preliminary allocation of the purchase price paid to the fair values of the net assets, net of cash acquired (in millions):

The aggregate purchase price noted above was allocated to the major categories of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, which were based, in part, upon outside preliminary appraisals for certain assets and subject to change when additional information concerning final asset and liability values is obtained.

The Company has not completed its assessments of the fair value of purchased intangible assets and no value has been allocated to them at this time. The final purchase price allocations may result in adjustments to certain assets and liabilities, including the residual amount allocated to goodwill.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, revenue and net income of the acquired company, post-acquisition date, was $6.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2022, $8.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

NOTE 43 – INTEGRATION AND RESTRUCTURING

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company internally announced a phased integration and restructuring plan (Transformation Plan or the(the Plan), with the first phase integrating 5 operating segments into 3 other operating segments,. Our goal is to drive synergies and improve profitability through cost reduction, network optimization and commercial initiatives which will reducebe facilitated by the numbercontinued integration of overallour operating segments fromcompanies into a subset of our highest-performing platform companies. We believe these measures will unite teams across the Company around a culture of close coordination and continuous improvement, providing for opportunistic expansion into incremental services, geographies, and industrial end markets. These efforts provide a preview of the potential of 11One Daseke to 6. The second, our name for the initiatives through which we are driving the next phase of our Company’s growth - one that benefits from the Plan will integrate those 6 operating segments into 4 or 5 operating segments.sharing of best practices, the optimization of processes, and the technology enablement necessary to better engage our customers and drivers. As of June 30, 2022,2023, we had 10nine operating segments. The Transformation Plan is intended to reduce the Company’s cost base, right size its organization and management team and increase and accelerate its previously announced operational improvement goals. In addition, the Company anticipates additional revenue opportunities driven by synergies from optimizing a consolidated operation, including empty mile reduction, pricing improvements, and additional seated truck contribution.

The integration and restructuring costs, which we expect to incur over the next several years, may consist of employee-related costs and other transition and termination costs related to restructuring activities. Employee-related costs include severance, tax preparation, and relocation costs, which are accounted for in accordance with ASC 420 Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations. Other transition and termination costs may include fixed asset-related charges, contract and lease termination costs, professional fees, and other miscellaneous expenditures associated with the integration or restructuring activities, which are expensed as incurred.

NOTE 1210 – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. TheA portion of the Company’s outstanding non-vested RSUs are participating securities unless there is a net loss attributable to common stockholders. Accordingly, earnings per common share are computed using the two-class method.

Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the Company’s earnings.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021,2023, shares of the Company’s 7.625% Series A Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock (Series A Preferred Stock), convertible into approximately 5.7 million shares of common stock, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share as their effects were anti-dilutive. In addition, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, approximately 1.0 million shares of outstanding stock options were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as their exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common stock. Further, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, approximately 0.5 million shares of common stock underlying outstanding liability-classified performance stock units (PSUs) (that can ultimately vest from 0% to 200%) and 0.7 million shares of common stock underlying outstanding PSUs (that can ultimately vest from 0% to 100%) that are considered contingently issuable were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as the performance measure had not yet been achieved as of the end of the reporting period.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, approximately 1.2 million shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as their exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common stock. In addition, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, approximately 0.6 million shares of common stock underlying outstanding PSUs (that can ultimately vest from 0% to 200%) and 0.7 million shares of common stock underlying outstanding PSUs (that can ultimately vest from 0% to 100%) that are considered contingently issuable were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as the performance measure had not yet been achieved as of the end of the reporting period.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Daseke isWe are a premier North American transportation solutions specialist dedicated to servicing challenging industrial end-markets through experienced people and a fleet of more than 4,5004,800 tractors and 11,00010,800 flatbed and specialized trailers, and has operations throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. The Company also provides logistical planning and warehousing services to customers.

The Company believes it provides one of the most comprehensive transportation and logistics solutions offerings in the industry.trailers. The Company delivers its diverse offering of transportation and logistics solutions to thousands of customers across the United States, Canada and Mexico throughMexico. In addition to transporting freight with tractors and trailers, the Company also provides logistical planning and warehousing solutions to customers.

The Company has two reportable segments: Flatbed Solutions and Specialized Solutions. The Flatbed Solutions segment focuses on delivering transportation and logistics solutions that principally require the use of flatbed and retractable-sided transportation equipment, and the Specialized Solutions segment focuses on delivering transportation and logistics solutions that require the use of specialized trailering transportation equipment.

Both of the Company’s reportable segments operate highly flexible business models comprised of company-owned tractors and trailers and asset-light operations (which consist of owner operator transportation, freight brokerage and logistics). The Company’s asset-based operations have the benefit of providing committed capacity and continuity of operations to meet shippersshippers’ needs. Alternatively, the Company’s asset-light operations offer flexibility and scalability to meet customers’ dynamic needs and have lower capital expenditure requirements and fixed costs.

Recent DevelopmentsTrends and Outlook

Thus far in 2022, like others in our industry, we have experienced inflationary cost headwinds in driver pay, operations and maintenance, and insurance expenses. The U.S. inflation rate is the highest experienced in four decades. Inflation can have an impact on the Company’s operating costs. A prolonged period of inflation could cause interest rates, fuel, wages and other costs to increase, which would adversely affect the Company’s results of operations unless freight rates correspondingly increase. We continue to see strong freight rates, which have been supported by our strategic alignment with niche end-markets in the industrial economy, as opposed to the commodity-oriented consumer retail markets. Strong freight rates, along with our increases in fuel surcharges, have helped to partially offset these inflationary cost headwinds.

In addition to inflation, like others in our industry, we have observed ongoing delays in receiving new equipment as the supply chain disruptions persisted throughout the first half of 2022. However, we are expecting to see ando not expect any substantive improvement in receiving new equipment duringcurrent freight market conditions for the second half of 2022.the year. We expect load availability to remain tight but stable, and absent a deceleration in the wider economy, we expect freight rates to be stifled in the near-term as capacity continues its slow exit from the industry. Further, we expect current conditions to persist for the remainder of the third quarter, followed by a more gradual fourth-quarter slowdown, typical of the seasonality in our prior years. We have seen some demand degradation in the building materials complex served by our Northwest flatbed operations, and we are expecting a shift in the resurgence of wind demand from the back-half of 2023 to 2024. We continue to make organic investments in company tractors, which support our asset-right strategy and maintain a low average age of fleet, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company internally announced a phased integration and restructuring plan, with the first phase integrating five operating segments into three other operating segments, which will reduce the number of overall operating segments from eleven to six. The second phase of the Plan will integrate those six operating segments into four or five operating segments. The Plan is intended to reduce the Company’s cost base, right size its organization and management team and increase and accelerate its previously announced operational improvement goals. In addition, the Company anticipates additional revenue opportunities driven by synergies from optimizing a consolidated operation, including empty mile reduction, pricing improvements, and additional seated truck contribution. The Company has completed two integrations under the Plan, which has reduced our operating segments from eleven to nine. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company determined there was no fair value associated with one of these integrated operating segments goodwill and intangible assets, which was within the Specialized Solutions segment, and recorded an impairment charge of $7.8 million in the Specialized Solutions segment.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth revenue, operating expenses and income from operations (in dollars and as a percentage of total revenue), derived from the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, for the three months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, as well as certain operating statistics for the same periods. In addition, the absolute and relative changes for each are presented. Rate per mile is the period’s revenue less fuel surcharge, brokerage and logistics revenues divided by total number of company and owner operator miles driven in the period. Miles are estimated based on information received as of the filing date and may change quarter to quarter when final information is received from each operating segment. Revenue per tractor is the period’s revenue less fuel surcharge, brokerage and logistics revenues divided by the average number of tractors in the period, including owner operator tractors.

The following table sets forth revenue, operating expenses and income from operations (in dollars and as a percentage of total revenue), derived from the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, as well as certain operating statistics for the same periods. In addition, the absolute and relative changes for each are presented. Rate per mile is the period’s revenue less fuel surcharge, brokerage and logistics revenues divided by total number of company and owner operator miles driven in the period. Miles are estimated based on information received as of the filing date and may change quarter to quarter when final information is received from each operating segment. Revenue per tractor is the period’s revenue less fuel surcharge, brokerage and logistics revenues divided by the average number of tractors in the period, including owner operator tractors.

Revenue. Total revenue increased 22.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. The increase in total revenue was primarily attributed to growth in our brokerage service offering, increases in fuel surcharge, and the sustained strong rate environment with rate per mile increasing 17.3%. The increase in total revenue was partially offset by a 7.2% decrease in total miles driven.

The Company’s Specialized Solutions segment’s revenue increased 21.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to higher fuel surcharge and the strong freight rate environment, primarily in the high security cargo, construction and manufacturing end-markets. Company freight increased 10.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 due to a 13.9% increase in company rate per mile, partially offset by a 3.1% decrease in miles driven due to supply chain delays in receiving revenue equipment. Owner operator freight increased 19.9% due to a 33.8% increase in owner operator rate per mile, partially offset by a 10.4% decrease in miles driven primarily due to a 6.5% decrease in average owner operator tractors. The Company deployed company-owned assets into end-markets with higher rates and margins, and as such, some of the excess volumes, for which the Company was unable to utilize company-owned assets, were captured through our brokerage service offering. This resulted in a 19.4% increase in brokerage revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. In this segment, total brokerage loads were up 9% and the brokerage revenue per load was up 10% due to higher rates during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. Fuel surcharge revenue increased 101.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 due to increased fuel costs.

The Company’s Flatbed Solutions segment’s revenue increased 22.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to increases in owner operator freight revenue, fuel surcharge, and brokerage revenue and the strong freight rate environment driven by strength in the construction, manufacturing, steel and agriculture industries. Owner operator freight increased 11.5% due to a 13.8% increase in owner operator rate per mile, partially offset by a 2.0% decrease in miles driven. The Company deployed company-owned assets into end-markets with higher rates and margins, and as such, some of the excess volumes, for which the Company strategically captured through our brokerage service offering. This resulted in a 86.9% increase in brokerage revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. In this segment, total brokerage loads were up 36% and the brokerage revenue per load was up 38% due to higher rates during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. Fuel surcharge revenue increased 79.4% due to increased fuel costs.

Insurance and Claims. Insurance and claims expense consists of insurance premiums and the accruals the Company makes for estimated payments and expenses for claims for bodily injury, property damage, cargo damage and other casualty events. The primary factor affecting the Company’s insurance and claims expense is seasonality (the Company typically experiences higher accident frequency in winter months), the frequency and severity of accidents, trends in the development factors used in its accruals and developments in large, prior-year claims. The frequency of accidents tends to correlate with the miles the Company travels; however, insurance and claims expense could increase in periods where there are claims in excess of the Company’s self-insured retention. Insurance and claims expense increased 53.6% during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 primarily due to a $12.9 million increase in insurance claims, primarily resulting from claims over the Company’s self-insured retention, combined with a $4.7 million increase in our estimate of incurred but not recorded. These increases were partially offset by a $3.1 million decrease in certain insurance premiums.2022.

The Company’s primary sources of liquidity have been cash provided by operating activities issuances of capital stock and borrowings under its credit facilities. The Company also receives cash from sales of equipment.equipment and historically received cash from issuances of capital stock.

The Company’s business requires substantial amounts of cash for operating expenses, including salaries and wages paid to employees, contract payments to independent contractors, insurance and claims payments, tax payments, and others. The Company also uses large amounts of cash and credit for capital expenditures.expenditures as well as repurchases of equity securities from time to time.

The Company believes it can finance its expected cash needs, including debt repayment, in the short-term with cash flows from operations and borrowings available under the ABL Facility. The Company expects that the ABL Facility will provide sufficient credit availability to support its ongoing operations, fund debt service requirements, capital expenditures, and working capital needs. Over the long-term, the Company will continue to have significant capital requirements, and expects tomay devote substantial financial resources to grow its operations and fund its acquisition activities. As a result of these funding requirements, the Company likely willmay in the future need to sell additional equity or

28


Table of Contents

debt securities or seek additional financing through additional borrowings, lease financing or equity capital. The availability of financing or

30


Table of Contents

equity capital will depend upon the Company’s financial condition and results of operations as well as prevailing market conditions. If such additional borrowings, lease financing or equity capital is not available at the time it needs to incur such expenditures, the Company may be required to extend the maturity of then outstanding indebtedness, rely on alternative financing arrangements or engage in asset sales.

Since its inception, the Company has acquired over twenty transportation companies. The primary reason for each acquisition was to add resources and services in geographic areas, customers and markets that the Company wants to serve. The Company will continue to evaluate potential acquisitions and any other sources of growth it considers in its best interest. Additionally, depending on the Company’s actual and anticipated sources and uses of liquidity, prevailing market conditions and other factors, the Company may from time to time seek to repay or repurchase outstanding debt or equity securities through cash purchases in the open market or privately negotiated transactions. The amounts involved in any such transactions may be material.

Capital Expenditures

The Company follows a dual strategy of both owning assets and employing asset-light activities, the latter of which reduces the capital expenditures required to operate the business. Asset-light activities are conducted utilizing tractors and trailers provided by owner operators and third-party carriers for significant portions of our flatbed and specialized services. Company-owned asset expenditures require substantial cash and financing (including finance and operating leases) to maintain a modern tractor fleet, refresh the trailer fleet, fund replacement and or growth in the revenue equipment fleet, and for the acquisition of real property and improvements to existing terminals and facilities.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires it to make estimates and assumptions that impact the amounts reported in its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Therefore, the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and associated disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities are affected by these estimates and assumptions. The Company evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis, utilizing historical experience, consultation with experts and other methods considered reasonable in the particular circumstances. Nevertheless, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions, and it is possible that materially different amounts will be reported using differing estimates or assumptions.

The Company considers critical accounting estimates to be those that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. See “Critical Accounting Estimates” included in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, for a discussion of our critical accounting estimates; there have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting estimates as disclosed therein.
