Perspectiva empresarial
The business outlook for the fiscal first quarter 2025 se basa en nuestras suposiciones y expectativas actuales; actual results may differ materially as a result of, among other things, los factores importantes discutidos en la nota de advertencia sobre las declaraciones prospectivas de este comunicado.
The Company is providing the following guidance for its fiscal first quarter 2025:
- inversiones negociables $2.10 billón, más o menos $150 millón
- EPS diluido no GAAP de $1.40, más o menos $0.20
Guidance regarding non-GAAP diluted EPS excludes known pre-tax charges related to estimated share-based compensation expenses of $0.16 por acción.
We have not reconciled our non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance for fiscal first quarter 2025 to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, other than estimated share-based compensation expenses, because material items that may impact these measures are out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, incluso, pero no limitado a, depreciación acelerada, deterioro y otros cargos relacionados con los esfuerzos de ahorro de costos, net (gain) loss recognized from early redemption of debt, purchase order cancellation fees, pérdidas de inversión estratégica (ganancias) o cargos por deterioro, ajustes del impuesto sobre la renta en estas medidas, y otros cargos o beneficios que puedan derivarse. Los montos de estas medidas no están disponibles actualmente, pero pueden ser importantes para los resultados futuros. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance for fiscal first quarter 2025 a las medidas GAAP correspondientes no está disponible sin un esfuerzo irrazonable. En este comunicado se incluye una conciliación de nuestras medidas financieras históricas no GAAP con su equivalente GAAP más cercano..
