Date of Report: August 7, 2017

Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific numerical values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. The document serves as a notification of the earnings release rather than a detailed financial statement.
The Company reports financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP and also discloses the following non-GAAP measures to enhance the evaluation of ongoing operating results:
- Adjusted EBITDA: Defined as net income before net income attributable to non-controlling interest, plus interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, foreign currency transaction gains/losses, non-cash stock compensation, impairment charges, tax indemnity receivable, interest on contingent consideration, acquisition-related costs, severance and integration expense, gain on extinguishment of debt, and bargain purchase gain.
- Adjusted Net Income: Defined as net income plus amortization of intangible assets, non-cash stock compensation, foreign currency transaction gains/losses, non-cash impairment charges, interest on contingent consideration, acquisition-related costs, severance and integration expense, gain on extinguishment of debt, and bargain purchase gain (on a tax-adjusted basis).
- Constant Currency Basis: Selected financial data presented to exclude the financial implications of foreign currency translations.
Material Changes
The filing text does not provide specific data regarding material changes versus the prior comparable period. It notes that certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation and definitions of non-GAAP measurements.
Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary
Management Commentary: Management believes non-GAAP measures provide useful information by excluding non-cash and special charges that may obscure the understanding of current financial performance and future prospects. These measures are used to evaluate business strategies and management performance.
Outlook and Guidance: The filing text does not contain specific forward-looking guidance or outlook figures. Investors were directed to the teleconference call for further discussion.
Risks and Contingencies: The filing does not explicitly list new risks or contingencies in the text provided, though it references standard exclusions for non-GAAP calculations such as impairment charges and acquisition-related costs.

- Confirm the details of the reclassifications made to prior period amounts to ensure accurate period-over-period comparisons.
