Headwinds
- Financial guidance for both the third quarter and full year for fiscal 2021 assumes no adverse changes in current market conditions.
- Financial guidance excludes further impact to SG&A expenses from phantom stock expense related solely to stock price movements from the closing price of $132.59 at April 30, 2021.
- Every $4 increase or decrease in common stock price from the end of the second quarter, results in an approximate $1 million increase or decrease, respectively, of phantom stock expense.
- The Company cannot provide a reconciliation between its non-GAAP projections and the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts.
- These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results.
