Material changes versus the prior comparable period
Management reaffirmed its previously issued full-year 2021 guidance ranges. No new reported operating or financial results were provided, and the filing does not identify changes to the guidance.
Outlook, commentary, and risks
The guidance is forward-looking and remains subject to the completion of the fiscal 2021 close. Management identified risks including pandemics, changes in consumer preferences, and the company’s ability to execute its omnichannel business strategy. Other risks are referenced in the company’s SEC filings.
The company cautioned that organic revenue growth, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net Income are non-GAAP measures and may not be calculated consistently by other companies. It did not provide reconciliations of the forward-looking non-GAAP measures to GAAP because certain future charges and other items cannot be predicted reliably.
