Adjusted EBITDA financial
"This presentation includes certain financial information that is not presented in accordance with The U.S. GAAP, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin."
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.
non-U.S. GAAP financial measures financial
"We refer to these measures as “non-U.S. GAAP” financial measures."
Non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are company-reported numbers that adjust or repackage results prepared under standard U.S. accounting rules to highlight aspects of performance management believes are important. Think of them like a chef presenting a cleaned-up version of a recipe that removes certain ingredients to show a core flavor; they can help investors see trends or cash-generation potential but may omit costs or one-time items, so compare them with GAAP figures for a full picture.

forward-looking statements regulatory
"This presentation may contain certain forward-looking statements about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties."
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
