Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific numerical values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. It serves as a notification of the earnings release and defines the methodology for non-GAAP financial measures used in the accompanying press release.
Non-GAAP measures disclosed include adjusted gross profit, adjusted net income, adjusted operating income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted gross margin, constant currency net sales, and adjusted operating margin.
Material Changes and Adjustments
The filing outlines specific items excluded from non-GAAP measures to facilitate comparability between periods. These adjustments for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, include:
- Amortization expense related primarily to acquired intangible assets.
- Unusual litigation costs.
- Restructuring charges and other termination benefits.
- Impairment charges.

- Non-GAAP tax adjustments and foreign currency translation movements.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management utilizes these non-GAAP measures for planning, forecasting, and evaluating segment performance. The filing notes that intangible asset amortization is excluded because it is not affected by period-specific operations unless an asset is impaired or its useful life is revised, whereas the revenue generated by these assets is included. No specific forward-looking guidance or new risk factors are detailed in this 8-K text; investors are directed to the attached press release for full commentary.
