2026 Non-GAAP Diluted EPS

$5.23 to $5.37

The Company is providing guidance for 2026 diluted EPS and for 2026 Adjusted EBITDA on a non-GAAP basis, as noted above. The Company is not providing a reconciliation of its 2026 non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance to its projected 2026 diluted EPS prepared on a GAAP basis, or its 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income prepared on a GAAP basis. This is because the Company is unable to provide without unreasonable effort an estimate of restructuring expenses and related costs, including its ongoing value-creation initiatives, and the corresponding tax effect, which will be included in the Company's 2026 diluted EPS and net income, prepared on a GAAP basis. The inability to provide this reconciliation is due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence, magnitude, financial impact and timing of related costs.

Management does not believe these items are representative of the Company's underlying business performance. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

*FY2026 Guidance is as of May 5, 2026 and should not be considered an update of guidance beyond that date. Guidance is for current continuing operations and does not include the impact of restructuring expenses and related costs, amortization expense of acquired intangible assets, the impairment of intangible assets, changes in contingent consideration, costs associated with shareholder advisory matters, select implementation-related costs supporting value creation initiatives, and litigation settlements.
