The scale and capabilities we have built provide a strong foundation for the next phase of profitable growth. We look forward to sharing our long-term priorities and financial framework with the investor community today.”

Adjusted EBITDA is defined and reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure in the Company’s financial disclosures available through its Investor Relations website.

Such items could be significant.
