In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated February 12, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

| | | Valuation of Goodwill |
| Description of the Matter | | As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s goodwill balance was $1,321 million. As discussed in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements, goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise, by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit, which is determined by computing the business enterprise value (“BEV”), with its carrying value. The BEV is computed based on estimated future cash flows, discounted at the weighted average cost of capital of a hypothetical third-party buyer. The outcome of the Company’s annual goodwill impairment test indicated that no impairment existed.Auditing management’s goodwill impairment test was complex and judgmental due to the significant estimation required to determine the BEV of the reporting units. In particular, the BEV of the reporting units were sensitive to the following assumptions: revenue growth, EBITDA margin and the weighted average cost of capital. These assumptions are subjective and can be affected by economic and market conditions. |
| How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit | | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of the Company’s controls over the goodwill impairment review process. For example, we tested controls that address the risk of material misstatement related to the valuation of the Company’s reporting units, including management’s review of the assumptions described above and the completeness and accuracy of the data used to develop such estimates.To test the estimated BEV of the Company’s reporting units, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, assessing the appropriateness of the valuation model used, evaluating the assumptions discussed above, and evaluating the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data supporting the assumptions. We compared the estimated future cash flows to historical results and industry and economic trends and assessed the historical accuracy of management’s estimates. We involved our valuation specialists to assist with our evaluation of the Company’s valuation model, valuation methodology and the weighted average cost of capital. |
