Previous wording

In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling striking down certain tariffs previously imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA"). The U.S. presidential administration subsequently invoked additional tariffs under other laws resulting in a rapidly changing tariff environment. In April 2026, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency launched a platform to allow for the submission of IEEPA tariff refund requests. The Company is accounting for any claims as loss recoveries and recognizes receivables when receipt of the claims become probable. Recoveries are reflected as a reduction of cost of goods sold for inventory previously sold, or as a reduction of inventory for goods that remain unsold.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest and other income, taxes, and depreciation and amortization as further adjusted for asset impairment costs, stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes, amortization of cloud-based software implementation costs, non-cash charitable donations, charges for certain legal matters outside the ordinary course of business, and non-recurring costs such as restructuring costs and major system implementation costs. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by our competitors, because not all companies and analysts calculate these measures in the same manner. We present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin because we consider these metrics to be important supplemental measures of our performance and believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Management believes that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by including these non-GAAP financial measures as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations.
