Non-GAAP Reporting
This press announcement contains guidance on adjusted financial measurements that are not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These measurements are not a substitute for GAAP measurements, although the Company uses these measurements as aids in monitoring MiMedx’s on-going financial performance on a regular basis and for benchmarking against other peer group companies in related sectors of the healthcare industry.
* Adjusted EPS is diluted earnings per share before share-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, and income tax impacts of these adjustments and other income tax provisions, as well as the impact from other specific one-time events that may occur in the future such as realignments, acquisitions or divestitures.
The Company has not provided a reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures due to the difficulty in forecasting and quantifying the exact amount of the items excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures that will be included in the comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures will be provided when actual results are reported. Adjusted financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. Investors should consider adjusted measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
