Investor Verification Checklist
- Review the attached news release (Exhibit 99.1) for specific GAAP and non-GAAP financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
- Verify the reconciliation tables between GAAP net income and the non-GAAP measures (Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income) to understand the magnitude of excluded items.
- Assess the specific impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the company's operations and liquidity as detailed in the full earnings release.
- Confirm the company's current debt service obligations and liquidity position, as the filing notes Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect funds required to service debt.
