The massive non-cash compensation charge obscures improving core operations (revenue +22%, gross margin +310bps). Watch for completion of the $975M Step Distinctive acquisition — if the valuation condition ($900M+) is met, the 75M share issuance would massively dilute existing holders. The $39M private placement at $13/share provides near-term cash but the stock may face pressure from the pending dilution overhang.
