Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary
Management utilizes non-GAAP measures to provide a baseline for modeling future earnings expectations and to enhance the understanding of ongoing operations. The Company notes that it does not provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures (adjusted EBITDA and/or adjusted EBITDA margin) for the fiscal year 2024 to net income due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting certain expenses and gains without unreasonable effort.
Management cautions that non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, reported GAAP results. There is no assurance that these measures are comparable to similarly titled measures used by other publicly traded companies.
