Management Commentary and Risks
Management commentary indicates that the reconciliation of financial measures is intended to help investors analyze core operating results and understand the impact of expenses associated with FASB ASC No. 718 (equity-based compensation). The Company emphasizes that non-GAAP measures should be reviewed in conjunction with GAAP results and are not a substitute for them.
