Challenges Ahead
- IAS is unable to provide a reconciliation for forward-looking guidance of Adjusted EBITDA and corresponding margin to net income (loss) and corresponding margin
- 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
- Stock-based compensation expense for the first quarter of 2023 in the range of $11 million to $13 million
- Stock-based compensation expense for the full year 2023 in the range of $62 million to $66 million
- A reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort
