2.We note your determination of Adjusted EBITDA includes a non-GAAP adjustment
identified as "Recognition of pre October 1, 2024 contract assets (Fleet Complete)".
We also note this adjustment is included in the determination of Adjusted EBITDA
for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. It is not clear what the adjustment represents or
how it was calculated. Please tell us, and revise future filings to explain, what the
adjustment represents and how it is calculated. Also, explain to us how and why you
believe the adjustment is appropriate and complies with Question 100.04 of the
Compliance & Disclosure Interpretations on Non-GAAP Financial Measures as it
appears the adjustment may represent a partial pro forma adjustment related to a
recent acquisition.

negative covenants, including financial covenants, that you complied with for the

the Facilities Agreement and the Facility Agreement that appear to have amended
financial covenants with respect to the ratio of consolidated total net borrowings to

and quantify material debt covenants and disclose whether you complied with the debt
covenants as of the reporting date.

Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted service gross margin, and Adjusted product gross
margin, more prominently than the most directly comparable GAAP measures, Net
loss, Net loss margin, GAAP gross margin, GAAP service gross margin, and
GAAP product gross margin. Please revise future filings to fully comply with

6.We note you present numerous pro forma combined disclosures for the quarter ended
and year ended March 31, 2024 as well as several pro forma non-GAAP financial
measures; however, it appears these disclosures represent combined historical
amounts with no related pro forma adjustments. To the extent you present pro forma
disclosures in future filings, including pro forma GAAP and pro forma non-GAAP
amounts, please ensure they comply with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.
In closing, we remind you that the company and its management are responsible for
the accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments,
action or absence of action by the staff.
