Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary
Management Commentary on Non-GAAP Measures: The Company states that presenting EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and free cash flow is useful for investors to:
- Evaluate operating performance and liquidity.
- Assess resources available for strategic opportunities, including business investment, balance sheet strengthening, security repurchases, and acquisitions.
- Compare results with previous and subsequent periods or forecast future performance, as management views excluded items as outside normal operating results.
