Headwinds

  • The financial outlook is based on assumptions that are subject to change and outside of the company's control.
  • There is no assurance that the company will achieve the expected results.
  • The company does not provide guidance for operating loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Non-GAAP operating loss.
  • The company cannot provide a reconciliation between its forecasted Non-GAAP operating loss and Non-GAAP net loss per share and these comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable effort.
  • Certain items impacting the reconciliation are not within the company’s control and may vary greatly between periods.
