Challenges Ahead
- Unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to its most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because such information is not available.
- The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company’s fiscal 2025 first quarter and full year GAAP financial results from continuing operations.
- Guidance is presented on a continuing operations basis excluding the R&LC Business, which was classified as discontinued operations during the fiscal fourth quarter of 2024.
- Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties.
- The determination of the amounts excluded is a matter of management judgment and depends upon, among other factors, the nature of the underlying expense or income amounts recognized in a given period and the high variability of certain amounts, such as mark-to-market adjustments.
