Watch for the $25 million deferred note payment by December 31, 2026 — if received, it will further reduce leverage and interest expense. Monitor upcoming quarterly filings for the impact of the divestiture on revenue and operating margins, as Marucci was a non-core asset that did not meet return expectations.
