Challenges Ahead
- IAS is unable to provide a reconciliation for forward-looking guidance of adjusted EBITDA and corresponding margin to net income (loss).
- Certain material reconciling items, such as depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and acquisition, restructuring and integration expenses, cannot be estimated due to factors outside of IAS's control.
- These items could have a material impact on the reported results.
- Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expected.
- Do not rely on forward-looking statements, assume that past financial performance will be a reliable indicator of future performance, or use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.
