- The company does not reconcile its forward-looking guidance for non-GAAP measures because certain financial information is not available and cannot be reasonably estimated.
- Future period non-GAAP guidance includes adjustments for items not indicative of the core operations.
- Such adjustments may be affected by changes in ongoing assumptions, judgements, as well as nonrecurring, unusual or unanticipated charges, expenses or gains/losses or other items that may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations.
- The exact amount of these adjustments is not currently determinable but may be significant.
