Key Terms

gaap, non-gaap, gross margin, operating income, +4 more
8 terms
gaap financial
"Results are reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)"
GAAP, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, are a set of standardized rules and guidelines that companies follow when preparing their financial statements. They ensure consistency, transparency, and comparability across different companies, making it easier for investors to understand and compare financial information accurately. This helps investors make informed decisions based on trustworthy and uniform financial reports.
non-gaap financial
"and are also reported adjusting for certain items (“Non-GAAP”)."
Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.
gross margin financial
"Gross margin | | 35.3 | | % | | 36.2 | %"
Gross margin is the difference between how much money a company makes from selling its products and how much it costs to produce them, expressed as a percentage of sales. It shows how efficiently a company is turning sales into profit before other expenses like marketing or salaries. Higher gross margin means the company keeps more money from each sale, which is a good sign of financial health.
operating income financial
"Operating income (loss) | | (2,658 | ) | | 14,148"
Operating income is the profit a company earns from its regular business activities after subtracting the costs directly related to running the business, such as wages, rent, and supplies. It shows how well the core operations are performing, ignoring income or expenses from non-regular activities like investments or one-time events. Investors use it to assess the company's efficiency and profitability from its main work.
convertible senior notes financial
"impact of our indebtedness, including our convertible senior notes and our capped call transactions;"
Convertible senior notes are a type of loan that a company issues to investors, which can be turned into company shares later on. They are called "senior" because they are paid back before other debts if the company runs into trouble. This allows investors to earn interest like a loan but also have the chance to own part of the company if its value rises.
capped call transaction financial
"the Company’s capped call transaction issued concurrently with our 2027 Notes"
A capped call transaction is a package of option-like contracts a company buys to limit how many new shares it must issue if holders convert convertible securities into stock. Think of it as an insurance policy with a payout ceiling: it offsets dilution for existing shareholders up to a set stock-price cap, but stops protecting beyond that level. Investors care because it changes how many shares will circulate and how much upside the company or converters keep, affecting earnings per share and stock value.
performance-based restricted stock units financial
"vesting of performance-based restricted stock units granted on March 13, 2023"
Performance-based restricted stock units are a type of employee equity award that converts into company shares only if predefined financial or operational targets are met over a set period. Think of it like a bonus check that becomes stock only when specific goals are hit; it ties pay to results, aligning managers’ incentives with shareholders. Investors care because these awards affect future share count, executive incentives, and signal how management’s success will be measured and rewarded.
net sales financial
"Net sales | | $158,341 | | $167,292"
Net sales is the total money a company earns from selling its goods or services after subtracting returns, discounts, and allowances — like a store counting the cash it actually keeps after refunds and coupons. Investors use net sales to gauge true customer demand and the real size of a business’s revenue stream, since it forms the basis for profit margins, growth trends, and comparisons between companies.

Note on Reconciliation Tables

The below tables include financial measures adjusted for the impact of certain items; these financial measures are therefore not calculated in accordance with GAAP. These Non-GAAP financial measures exclude items such as: share-based compensation expense; charges relating to restructuring initiatives; non-cash asset impairments; certain other non-operating gains and losses; and acquisition-related items such as transaction costs, non-cash amortization of acquired intangible assets, and certain integration costs.

These Non-GAAP financial measures may be different from Non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. By excluding these items, Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to facilitate meaningful comparisons to historical operating results, competitors’ operating results, and estimates made by securities analysts. Management is evaluated on key performance metrics including Non-GAAP Operating income (loss), which is used to determine management incentive compensation as well as to forecast future periods. These Non-GAAP financial measures may be useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency of supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. In addition, similar Non-GAAP financial measures have historically been reported to investors; the inclusion of comparable numbers provides consistency in financial reporting. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the Non-GAAP financial measures used in this news release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
