The actual Q2 2022 financial results were announced in a press release dated July 20, 2022, which was originally furnished with the first 8-K filing and is now re-furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this 8-K/A filing. Investors should review that press release for the financial performance information.

When information is 'furnished' to the SEC, as is the case with the press release in this filing, it generally means it is being made public but is not subject to the same legal liabilities and requirements as information that is 'filed' under certain sections of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (like Section 18) or the Securities Act of 1933. This is a standard disclosure practice for press releases.
