restricted stock units (RSUs) financial

"Includes 256,372 restricted stock units ("RSUs"). Each RSU represents a contingent right"

Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a type of company promise to give employees shares of stock in the future, usually after certain conditions like working for a set time. They are like a gift promised today that you receive later, which can become valuable if the company's stock price goes up. RSUs matter because they are a way companies reward employees and can be a significant part of compensation.

American Depositary Shares financial

"which vest in the form of American Depositary Shares based upon the achievement"

American depositary shares (ADSs) are a way for investors in the United States to buy shares of foreign companies without dealing with international markets directly. They represent ownership in a foreign company's stock and are traded on U.S. stock exchanges, making it easier for American investors to buy, sell, and own parts of companies from around the world.

Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors financial

"the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determined the number of RSUs"

core revenue financial

"based upon the achievement of the specified performance metrics, including core revenue, core operating profit"

Revenue from a company’s regular, ongoing business activities after stripping out one-time items, unusual gains or losses, and revenue from unrelated side businesses. Like a shopkeeper counting only the money from everyday sales rather than a one-off auction or a temporary rental, core revenue shows the steady income that is most likely to continue and helps investors judge the company’s underlying sales health and future earnings power.

core operating profit financial

"including core revenue, core operating profit, and important R&D milestones"

Core operating profit is the company's profit from its normal day-to-day business activities after removing one-time items, unusual gains or losses, and financing or tax effects. Investors use it like a household budget that strips out unexpected windfalls or repairs: it shows the steady earnings power of the business and helps compare performance across periods or with peers without distortion from rare or non‑operational events.

R&D milestones financial

"core operating profit, and important R&D milestones. On April 27, 2026, the Compensation Committee"
