The change in fair value of debt derivative liability, related party, increased by -$2,555 thousand to -$3,155 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from -$600 thousand in the prior comparable period, due to changes in key valuation inputs including a higher discount rate and the passage of time.Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was -$14,980 thousand, compared to -$14,769 thousand for the three months ended February 23, 2025. #### Cash Flow Net cash provided by operating activities improved by $3,501 thousand, reaching $4,700 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1,199 thousand in the prior comparable period.
