August 1, 2026154.4July actuals. Driven by the severance lump from the June layoff, which is one-time and now sits fully in the level rather than recurring as flow. Also reflects structurally low fixed costs, with no housing expense. The series rebased to 100 in March 2026, so readings dated before that are on a different scale and are not comparable.
