Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: Management believes non-GAAP measures like EBITDA provide important perspectives on ongoing business performance but should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures.
Risks and Contingencies:
- Preliminary Nature: Results are subject to change as the financial closing process is not yet complete.
- Forward-Looking Statements: The press release contains forward-looking statements subject to risks and uncertainties detailed in the Company's Form 10-K and 10-Q filings.
- Comparison Limitations: Other companies may define and calculate non-GAAP measures differently, limiting comparability.
- Liability: The information is not deemed "filed" under Section 18 of the Exchange Act and is not subject to the liabilities of that section.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the specific numerical values for revenue, net income, and EBITDA in the attached press release (Exhibit 99.1), as they are not listed in this 8-K text.
- Confirm the final audited financial results once the Company completes its closing procedures for the period ended March 31, 2026.
