The Company has not provided a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA outlook for fiscal 2024 to GAAP net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, because without unreasonable efforts, it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the amount or timing of non-GAAP adjustments that are used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA, including but not limited to: (a) advisory, legal and restructuring expenses, (b) the net loss or gain on the sale of property plant & equipment or other assets (c) acquisition-related or integration costs relating to our M&A activity, including severance costs (d) share-based payments compensation expense which value is directly impacted by the fluctuations in our share price and other variables and, (e) other expenses that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing operations. These adjustments are uncertain, depend on various factors that are beyond our control and could have a material impact on net income for fiscal 2024.
