Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
The combination of margin expansion, record Adjusted EBITDA, and positive operating cash flow supports a more favorable risk/reward near term. The resumption of marketing spend could accelerate revenue if ROI materializes; however, YoY revenue decline remains a soft spot. Expect modest upside if marketing efficiency improves and USU momentum sustains.
