Challenges Ahead
- Assumes approximately $40 million in foreign exchange headwinds.
- Assumes approximately 172 million fully diluted shares.
- Assumes an effective tax rate of approximately 23%.
- The company has not quantitatively reconciled its guidance for forward-looking non-GAAP measurements in this news release to their most comparable GAAP measurements because the company does not provide specific guidance for the various reconciling items as certain items that impact these measures have not occurred, are out of the company’s control, or cannot be reasonably predicted.
- The strong U.S. dollar negatively impacted cash generated from the company's foreign operations in 2022, driven by revenues and costs that are denominated in foreign currencies.
