Exhibit 99.1
Non-GAAP Reconciliation, page 12
1. We note your response
to our prior comment and reissue it, in part, as your letter dated
April 25, 2024, was not
fully responsive to our comment. In regard to the non-GAAP
adjustment related to
the impact of the call spread overlay that you present to determine
your non-GAAP financial
measure, Adjusted diluted income per share, please specifically
address the following:
You previously
stated you do not believe your presentation of Adjusted diluted
income per share
has the effect of changing the recognition and measurement
principles required
to be applied in accordance with GAAP. Explain in greater detail

why you believe the non-GAAP adjustment for the impact of the
call spread overlay
does not result in an individually tailored non-GAAP financial
measure that is
inconsistent with the guidance in Question 100.04 of the
Compliance and Disclosure
Interpretations for Non-GAAP Financial Measures. In this regard,
we note your non-
GAAP financial measure results in you presenting diluted income
per share without
applying the if-converted method, which is required by GAAP.
You previously stated you adjust Adjusted diluted income per
share for the impact of
the call spread overlay to demonstrate to investors that if the
convertible notes had
been converted into shares, the call spread overlay would be
triggered and the
dilutive impact would be fully offset. Explain in greater detail
why you believe this
non-GAAP adjustment is appropriate as the convertible notes
remained outstanding
during the period and, as such, the impact of the call spread
overlay was not
recognized in your historical financial statements.
Tell us how you considered the antidilution provisions of ASC
260-10-45 as this non-
GAAP adjustment appears to exclude the dilutive impact of the
if-converted shares.
Please contact Dale Welcome at 202-551-3865 or Anne McConnell at
202-551-3709 if
you have questions regarding comments on the financial statements and related
matters.
