Material Changes and Guidance
- Guidance Update: Management provided updated operating earnings guidance for 2023 and 2024 during the investor meeting.

This is due to the inability to reliably forecast specific line items such as future non-recurring items, mark-to-market adjustments, and discontinued operations.
- Volatility Warning: Management noted that these excluded items may fluctuate significantly and could have a material impact on reported earnings.

The filing includes standard forward-looking statement disclaimers. Actual results may differ materially from projections due to various assumptions, risks, and uncertainties detailed in the company's 2022 Form 10-K and 2023 Form 10-Qs.
