restricted stock units financial
"Represents shares of NATR common stock withheld to pay taxes upon vesting of restricted stock units granted"
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
adjusted EBITDA financial
"achievement of an adjusted EBITDA milestone of $52M over a rolling 12-month period"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
