Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the specific GAAP and non-GAAP financial figures (Revenue, Net Income, EBITDA) in the attached news release (Exhibit 99.1).
- Review the reconciliation tables in the earnings release to understand the adjustments made to derive Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Net Income.
