Business Outlook
As of the date hereof, the Company expects the following net sales results for the year ended December 31, 2023. These expectations are based on the current foreign currency exchange rates and do not include any additional exchange rate changes that may occur this year.
The Company is unable to provide expectations of GAAP operating income (loss), the closest comparable GAAP measures to Adjusted EBITDA (which is a non-GAAP measure), on a forward-looking basis because the Company is unable to predict without unreasonable efforts the ultimate outcome of matters (including acquisition-related expenses, accounting fair value adjustments, and other such items) that will determine the quantitative amount of the items excluded in calculating Adjusted EBITDA, which items are further described in the reconciliation tables and related descriptions below. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to the Company’s results computed in accordance with GAAP.
