The primary examples of these types of costs are temporary employee wages, along with other employee-related costs, including associated payroll taxes, temporary employee benefits, such as service bonus and holiday pay and health insurance, and workers’ compensation costs.

(2) Direct salaries refers to the compensation expenses for employees directly related to the Company’s operations and service delivery. These expenses include salaries, related payroll taxes, severance, various benefits and performance-based incentives and bonuses for these employees.

(3) For both third quarter and September year-to-date 2025, other segment expenses for each reportable segment included:

•ETM and Education - Shared services costs for IT, human resources, legal and finance support, other professional services and overhead expenses, facilities and equipment-related costs, and operational software licenses.
