- Constant Currency Basis: Selected financial data presented to exclude foreign currency translation implications.
Material Changes
The filing text does not provide specific data regarding material changes versus the prior comparable period. It only states that the Company released its earnings for the third quarter 2019.
Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary
Management Commentary: ISG believes non-GAAP measures provide useful information by excluding non-cash and special charges that may obscure the understanding of current financial performance and future prospects. These measures are used to evaluate business strategies and management performance.
Outlook and Events:
- ISG scheduled a teleconference call to discuss financial results on Thursday, November 7, 2019, at 9:00 am (EST).
- The press release containing detailed results is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and is not deemed filed for purposes of the Exchange Act.
Risks and Contingencies: The filing text does not explicitly list specific risks or contingencies beyond the standard disclaimer that non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP results.
