Subsequent to the end of the fourth quarter, on February 1, 2026 Hudson went live with a new ERP system. As is common with new ERP implementations, Hudson has experienced some startup inefficiencies that it expects will negatively impact first quarter 2026 revenues. Despite this headwind, Hudson anticipates that it will achieve a low-to-mid single digit revenue growth percentage in first quarter 2026 as compared to first quarter 2025. Hudson does not expect inefficiencies from the ERP launch to persist into the second quarter of 2026.
