1 | Non-GAAP financial measures which the Company believes provide valuable perspectives on its business results. Refer to tables at the end of the release and Regulation G Information for reconciliations to the comparable GAAP metrics. | |
2 | Reconciliation of the net revenue guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable efforts because the Company cannot predict the magnitude and timing of all the components, including subcontractor costs, required to provide such reconciliation with sufficient precision. | |
3 | The only adjustments in our guidance for EPS are to exclude the gain on business disposition and contingent consideration in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. | |
