Insights

Corporate Finance Analyst

TL;DR: The company publicly released Q2 2025 results and furnished reconciliations for Non‑GAAP measures.

The filing announces the issuance of a press release reporting second quarter 2025 results and attaches that release as Exhibit 99.1. For investors, the immediate effect is availability of the quarter’s headline figures and commentary in a standardized, filed format.

The company also provided Exhibit 99.2 reconciling Non‑US GAAP metrics to US GAAP, which improves transparency around adjusted measures. Market impact depends on the actual results disclosed in the attached press release and whether those figures differ materially from expectations.

Accounting Analyst

TL;DR: Non‑GAAP measures are accompanied by reconciliations to US GAAP in a furnished exhibit.

The filing explicitly states that each Non‑US GAAP financial measure in the press release is paired with the most directly comparable US GAAP measure and reconciled in Exhibit 99.2. This complies with common disclosure practice for adjusted metrics.

Investors seeking to evaluate adjusted performance should review Exhibit 99.2 to examine the reconciliation details and management’s explanations; any material adjustments will be evident there and are the concrete items to check.
