Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release
contains information about our financial results that are not
presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures, including
non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating
expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income and
non-GAAP net income per share, exclude the impact of purchase
accounting intangible amortization expense and fair value
adjustments, stock-based compensation, restructuring and other
charges, and other tax adjustments, and are provided to enhance
investors' overall understanding of our historical operations and
financial performance.
In addition, we present EBITDA, which is calculated as net
income (loss) before interest (income) expense, net, income tax
benefit (expense) and depreciation and amortization and fair value
adjustments, and Adjusted EBITDA, which is calculated as EBITDA,
excluding other (income) expense, net, stock-based compensation,
and restructuring and other charges, as measures of our operating
profitability. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA
and Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss). We also present Adjusted
EBITDA margin, which is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA as a percent
of total sales.
In our fourth quarter reporting, we have included non-GAAP total
sales on a constant currency basis. The most directly comparable
GAAP measure to total sales on a constant currency basis is total
sales. We believe constant currency information is useful in
analyzing underlying trends in our business and the commercial
performance of our products by eliminating the impact of highly
volatile fluctuations in foreign currency markets and allows for
period-to-period comparisons of our performance. For simplicity, we
may elect to omit this information in future periods if we
determine a lack of material impact. To present this information,
current period performance for entities reporting in currencies
other than U.S. dollars are converted to U.S. dollars at the
exchange rate in effect during the last day of the prior comparable
period.
Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures
provide investors with relevant period-to-period comparisons of our
core operations using the same methodology that management employs
in its review of the Company's operating results. These financial
measures are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for a measure of
financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations that should
be considered before using these measures to evaluate a company's
financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, as
presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of
other companies due to varying methods of calculation. The
financial statement tables that accompany this press release
include a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to
the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

We exclude stock-based
compensation, which is non-cash, from the non-GAAP financial
measures because the Company believes that such exclusion provides
a better comparison of results of ongoing operations for current
and future periods with such results from past periods.

On February 14, 2020,
our Board of Directors approved a global restructuring plan (the
"Restructuring Plan"), which is intended to support our strategic
plan in an effort to improve operating performance and ensure that
we are appropriately structured and resourced to deliver
increased and sustainable value to our shareholders and customers.
On February 7, 2023, our Board of Directors approved an integration
plan (the "Integration Plan"), which is intended to streamline and
simplify operations, particularly around our recent acquisitions
and the resulting redundant operations and offerings. The
Restructuring and other costs primarily consist of severance and
related benefits.
|
|
|
(3)
|
During 2023, we
recorded a charge of $9.3 million, increasing our reserve for
excess and obsolete inventory, based on our analysis of our
inventory reserves in connection with our strategy to simplify our
product portfolio and cease selling certain products.
|
|
|
(4)
|
The other tax
adjustments primarily relate to the impact of certain jurisdictions
maintaining a full valuation allowance where benefit is not accrued
on U.S. GAAP pre-tax book losses.

We compare the change
in the sales from one period to another period using constant
currency disclosure. We present constant currency information to
provide a framework for assessing how our underlying business
performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate
fluctuations. To present this information, current and comparative
prior period results for entities reporting in currencies other
than United States dollars are converted into United States dollars
at the exchange rate in effect during the last day of the prior
comparable period, rather than the actual exchange rates in effect
during the respective periods.
