OPTU · Restatement + going concern risk

Optimum Communications filed an amended 10-K/A to restate FY2025 financials due to an accounting error that understated deferred tax benefits by ~$430M. The restatement is non-cash and does not affect revenue, EBITDA, or cash flows. The filing also discloses a material weakness in internal controls over income tax accounting and substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern due to ~$7.4B in debt maturing in 2027 with no committed refinancing.
