Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains information about our financial results that are not presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, exclude the impact of purchase accounting intangible amortization expense, stock-based compensation, restructuring and other charges, and other tax adjustments, and are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of our historical operations and financial performance.

In addition, we present EBITDA, which is calculated as net income (loss) before interest (income) expense, net, income tax benefit (expense) and depreciation and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA, which is calculated as EBITDA, excluding other (income) expense, net, stock-based compensation, and restructuring and other charges, as measures of our operating profitability. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss). We also present Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of total sales.

We have included non-GAAP total sales on a constant currency basis. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to total sales on a constant currency basis is total sales. We believe constant currency information is useful in analyzing underlying trends in our business and the commercial performance of our products by eliminating the impact of highly volatile fluctuations in foreign currency markets and allows for period-to-period comparisons of our performance. For simplicity, we may elect to omit this information in future periods if we determine a lack of material impact. To present this information, current period performance for entities reporting in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect during the last day of the prior comparable period.

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with relevant period-to-period comparisons of our core operations using the same methodology that management employs in its review of the Company's operating results. These financial measures are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for a measure of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations that should be considered before using these measures to evaluate a company's financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to varying methods of calculation. The financial statement tables that accompany this press release include a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

     (1) We exclude stock-based compensation, which is non-cash, from the non-GAAP financial measures because the Company believes that such exclusion provides
              a better comparison of results of ongoing operations for current and future periods with such results from past periods.





     
     (2) On February 14, 2020, our Board of Directors approved a global restructuring plan (the "Restructuring Plan"), which is intended to support our strategic
              plan in an effort to improve operating performance and ensure that we are appropriately structured and resourced to deliver increased and sustainable
              value to our shareholders and customers. On February 7, 2023, our Board of Directors approved an integration plan (the "Integration Plan"), which is
              intended to streamline and simplify operations, particularly around our recent acquisitions and the resulting redundant operations and offerings. The
              Restructuring and other costs primarily consist of severance and related benefits associated with the Restructuring Plan, Integration Plan, and
              executive transitions.





     
     (3) The Income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments is calculated by applying a statutory tax rate to Non-GAAP adjustments, including Stock-based
              compensation, Restructuring and other costs, non-recurring Inventory reserve charges, and Purchase accounting intangible amortization and fair value
              adjustments. In addition, when estimating our Non-GAAP income tax rate, we exclude the impact of items that impact our reported income tax rate that we
              do not believe are representative of our ongoing operating results, including the impact of valuation allowances we are currently recording in certain
              jurisdictions and certain discrete items such as adjustments to uncertain tax position reserves, as these items are difficult to predict and can impact
              our effective income tax rate. Specifically, Other tax adjustments during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were comprised of $4.4 million
              related to the impact of valuation allowance adjustments and $0.5 million related to other discrete items. During the three months ended September 30,
              2024, Other tax adjustments were comprised of $0.8 million related to the impact of valuation allowance adjustments and $0.2 million related to other
              discrete items. In 2023, Other tax adjustments during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were comprised of $11.2 million related to the impact of
              valuation allowance adjustments and $6.5 million related to other items, including equity based compensation book to tax differences, non-GAAP
              adjustments impact on Global intangible low-taxed income and Prepaid tax on intercompany profit. During the three months ended September 30, 2023,
              Other tax adjustments were comprised of $2.0 million related to the impact of valuation allowance adjustments and $1.4 million related to other items,
              including equity based compensation book to tax differences, non-GAAP adjustments impact on Global intangible low-taxed income and Prepaid tax on
              intercompany profit.

     (1) On February 7, 2023, our Board of Directors approved the Integration Plan, which is intended to streamline and simplify operations, particularly around
              our recent acquisitions and the resulting redundant operations and offerings. The Restructuring and other costs primarily consist of severance and
              related benefits associated with the Restructuring Plan, Integration Plan, and executive transitions.
