Key Financial Metrics
This filing does not contain specific financial performance metrics such as revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity figures. The document serves to announce a change in reporting structure rather than to report financial results.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
- Segment Restructuring: The Company has consolidated EPD and IPD into FPD to reflect operational synergies and how the Chief Executive Officer reviews financial information.
- Retrospective Adjustments: Beginning with the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, financial information will reflect the new two-segment structure. Prior periods will be retrospectively adjusted in future periodic reports to conform to this new composition.
- Supplemental Data: Exhibit 99.1 provides retrospectively adjusted supplemental unaudited historical segment financial information for the four quarters of 2018 and the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: The reorganization is intended to assist investors in comparing historical segment financial information with future reporting. The filing explicitly states that these revisions do not represent a restatement of previously issued financial statements.
Verification Note: Investors are advised to read this Form 8-K in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, and subsequent SEC filings.
