Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary
Management states that these non-recurring items are expected to be recorded as non-GAAP, pro forma adjustments. Consequently, these items are not expected to impact the company's adjusted earnings per share or adjusted EBITDA, which are the primary non-GAAP metrics provided to investors. The filing does not provide updated revenue, profit, cash flow, or debt figures beyond these specific one-time items.
