Material Changes and Reconciliations
- The filing notes that non-GAAP financial information is included in the attached Letter to Shareholders.
- Management states they are unable to reconcile forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP equivalents due to the inability to predict without unreasonable effort the exact amount or timing of reconciling items.
