EBITDA, Operating, and Pretax Income generally increased across the periods, with EBITDA growing from $101,683,000 in 2024 to roughly $180,229,000 in Q3 2023. However, Net Income saw inconsistencies with a high of $128,116,000 in Q3 2023 and a lower $64,197,000 in 2024, likely impacted by varying costs and perhaps some non-recurring expenses.
