- Gross Margin is expected to remain above 50%
- Adjusted Operating Margin is expected to be at least 9.0%
- Operating Cash Flow is expected to be at least $260 million

Challenges Ahead
- anticipated pressure on consumer spending
- The Company does not provide a reconciliation for forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures where it is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort.
- This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the occurrence and the financial impact of various items that have not yet occurred, are out of the Company’s control or cannot be reasonably predicted.
- For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.
- Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.
