Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release contains financial measures that have not been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (“GAAP”), including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted EPS,
and Free cash flow. Non-GAAP financial measures are not recognized terms under GAAP, are not measures of financial
condition or liquidity, and should not be considered as an alternative to profit or loss for the period determined in accordance
with GAAP or operating cash flows determined in accordance with GAAP. As a result, you should not consider such
measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial measures or results of operations calculated or determined in
accordance with GAAP.
We use non-GAAP measures internally in our operational and financial decision-making, to assess the operating performance
of our business, to assess performance for employee compensation purposes, and to decide how to allocate resources. We
believe that such measures allow us to focus on what we deem to be more reliable indicators of ongoing operating
performance and our ability to generate cash flow from operations, and we also believe that investors may find these non-
GAAP financial measures useful for the same reasons. Non-GAAP measures are frequently used by securities analysts,
investors, and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies comparable to us, many of which present non-GAAP
measures when reporting their results. Further, these measures can be useful in evaluating our performance against our peer
companies because we believe they provide users with valuable insight into key components of our GAAP financial
disclosure. However, non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and because not all companies use identical
calculations, our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of
other companies.
Definitions and reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided within
the schedules attached to this release. Our presentation of non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an inference that
our future results will be unaffected by any of the adjusted items, or that any projections and estimates will be realized in
their entirety or at all.
Forward-Looking Statements
This release includes statements that express our opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions, or projections
regarding future events or future results and therefore are, or may be deemed to be, “forward-looking statements” within the
meaning of the “safe harbor provisions” of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking
statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believes,” “estimates,”
“anticipates,” “expects,” “seeks,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “may,” “will,” or “should” or, in each case, their negative or
other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts,
and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs, or current expectations concerning, among other things, the
anticipated divestiture of our LS&H business or any other strategic transactions we may explore, anticipated cost savings,
results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies, anticipated transactions, and the markets in
which we operate. Such forward-looking statements are based on available current market material and management’s
expectations, beliefs, and forecasts concerning future events impacting us. There can be no assurance that future
developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks
and uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance
to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties
include, but are not limited to, those factors described in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our annual report on Form 10-K, along
with our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Should one or more of these risks or
uncertainties materialize, or should any of the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from
those projected in these forward-looking statements. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-
looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under
applicable securities laws. Please consult our public filings with the SEC, which are also available on our website at
