Form 8-K filed May 9, 2024
File No. 001-36558
Dear Bill Wilson:
We have limited our review of your filing to the financial statements
and related
disclosures and have the following comments.
Please respond to this letter within ten business days by providing the
requested
information or advise us as soon as possible when you will respond. If you do
not believe a
comment applies to your facts and circumstances, please tell us why in your
response.
After reviewing your response to this letter, we may have additional
comments.
Form 8-K filed May 9, 2024
Exhibit 99.1, page 1
1.
We believe that your earnings release gives undue prominence to the
presentation and
discussion of non-GAAP measures. For instance, we note your references
to Adjusted
Operating Income and Adjusted EBITDA, in the title and/or first
paragraph of the
earnings release without references to the corresponding comparable GAAP
measures. In
addition, we note that you give undue prominence to the presentation and
discussion of
the non-GAAP measures throughout the prepared remarks in your earnings
call.
Accordingly, please revise future earnings releases to comply with the
reporting
requirements of Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K. Refer to Instruction 2 to
Item 2-02 of Form
8-K in this regard.

2. We note that you consider Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Net
Income as
performance measures. Please tell us why there are cash-based
adjustments, such as
corporate expenses, in the calculation of a performance measure. Refer
to the guidance in
Question 100.01 of the non-GAAP C&DIs which indicates the exclusion of
normal,
recurring, cash operating expenses necessary to operate your business
from a non-GAAP
performance measure may be misleading. Please provide us with the
revised disclosures
you intend to include in future filings.
In closing, we remind you that the company and its management are
responsible for the
accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review,
comments, action or
absence of action by the staff.
Please contact Claire DeLabar at 202-551-3349 or Robert Littlepage at
202-551-3361
with any questions.
Sincerely,
Division of
Corporation Finance
