Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The company notes that it does not provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures (adjusted EBITDA and/or adjusted EBITDA margin) for fiscal year 2025 to net income. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting certain expenses and gains without unreasonable effort.
Management cautions that non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, reported GAAP results. Additionally, there is no assurance that these non-GAAP measures are comparable to similarly titled measures used by other publicly traded companies.
