Forward - looking statem ents are made based on our expectations and beliefs concerning future events impacting the Company and therefore involve a number of risks and uncertainties. We caution that forward - looking statements are not guarantees and that actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward - looking statements. Potential risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results of operations or financial condition of the Company to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward - looking statements in this presentation, include, but are not limited to, those risks and uncert ainties more fully described from time to time in the Company's public reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including under the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10 - K, and/or Quarterly Reports on Form 10 - Q, as well as in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8 - K. All forward - looking statements included in this presentation are based upon information available t o the Company as of the date of this presentation and speak only as of the date hereof. We assume no obligation to update any forward - looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of t his presentation. Non - GAAP Financial Measures The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This pre sen tation contains the non - GAAP measures: ( i ) adjusted gross margin and adjusted gross profit, (ii) adjusted (loss) income from continuing operations and related earnings (loss) per diluted share, (iii) ear nin gs before interest, taxes, other income or expense, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin , (iv) segment EBITDA and adjusted segment EBITDA, and (v) free cash flow (defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures). The Company believes that the presentation of certain non - GAAP measures, i.e.: ( i ) adjusted gross margin and adjusted gross profit, (ii) adjusted (loss) income from continuing operations and related earnings (loss) per diluted share , (iii) EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, (iv) segment EBITDA and adjusted segment EBITDA, an d (v) free cash flow, provide useful information for the understanding of its ongoing operations and enables investors to focus on period - over - period operating per formance, and thereby enhances the user's overall understanding of the Company's current financial performance relative to past performance and provides, along with the nearest GAAP measures, a ba sel ine for modeling future earnings expectations. Non - GAAP measures are reconciled to comparable GAAP financial measures herein. We do not provide a reconciliation of the non - GAAP guidance measures, i.e.: ( i ) a djusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA m argin, and mid - point adjusted EBITDA margin (ii) adjusted corporate costs, and (iii) adjusted free cash flow for the fiscal year 2024 to the most comparab le GAAP financial measure, due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting certain types of expenses and gains, without unreasonable effort. The Company cautions that non - GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the Company's repo rted GAAP results. Additionally, the Company notes that there can be no assurance that the above referenced non - GAAP financial measures are compara ble to similarly titled financial measures used by other publicly traded companies. Market and Industry Data The market and industry data used throughout this presentation was obtained from various sources, including the Company’s own re search and estimates, surveys or studies conducted by third parties and industry or general publications and forecasts. Industry publications, surveys and forecasts generally state that they have o bta ined information from sources believed to be reliable, but there can be no assurance as to the accuracy and completeness of such information. While the Company believes that each of these surveys, studies, publ ica tions and forecasts is reliable, it has not independently verified such data and the Company is not making any representation as to the accuracy of such information. Similarly, the Company believes its internal re search and estimates are reliable but it has not been verified by any independent sources. In addition, while the Company believes that the industry and market information included herein is generally reliab le, such information is inherently imprecise. While the Company is not aware of any misstatements regarding the industry and market data presented herein, its estimates involve risks and uncertainties and are sub ject to change based on various factors, including those discussed under the heading “Forward - Looking Statements” above.
