Financial Disclosure Advisory

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The select preliminary, unaudited expectations in the company’s previous guidance provided in its press release on January 10, 2022 (the “Previous Guidance Release”) referred to herein are estimates only and are subject to revision until the Company reports its full financial and business results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2021. Such estimates are not a comprehensive statement of the Company’s financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and actual results may differ materially from such estimates as a result of the completion of year-end accounting procedures and adjustments, including the execution of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, the completion of the preparation and audit of the Company’s financial statements and the subsequent occurrence or identification of events prior to the formal issuance of the audited financial statements for fiscal 2021. In addition, the preliminary, unaudited expectations described in the Previous Guidance Release, including revenues, should not be relied upon as an indicator of overall quarterly and year-end financial results, which depend on a variety of factors, including the cost of goods sold and operating expenses, among others. Other cautionary language included in the Previous Guidance Release, including with respect to the non-GAAP financial measures included therein, should be referred to.
