Forward-Looking Statements
This release contains “forward-looking statements.” All statements, other than statements of fact, that address activities, events or developments that we or our management intend, expect, project, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Although we believe forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which may cause the actual results or performance of the company to be materially different from any future results or performance expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, such as guidance regarding full-year 2019, our ability to realize cost reductions over the lifecycle of our products and realize related gross margin opportunity, the commencement, progress and results of the comprehensive operational and financial review, including our ability to improve operating margins, core business processes, direct product costs, and G&A, our cost optimization program and our ability to achieve $15 million of realized savings in 2019 and $50 million of run-rate savings by the end of 2020, and our ability to work with our professional partners to better position the T-Series and the related expected significant sales improvement in 2020, each of which speak only as of the date of this release. Forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results, developments and business decisions may differ from those envisaged by our forward-looking statements.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release includes EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA excluding Honeywell reimbursement agreement payments, adjusted Net Income, adjusted Net Income excluding Honeywell reimbursement agreement payments, adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share, constant currency growth, and other financial measures not compliant with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). The non-GAAP financial measures are adjusted for certain items above and may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies in our industry, as other companies may define such measures differently. Management believes that, when considered together with reported amounts, these measures are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends and provide useful additional information relating to our operations and financial condition. These metrics should be considered in addition to, and not as replacements for, the most comparable GAAP measure. Refer to the tables above in this release for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. We believe EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA excluding Honeywell reimbursement agreement payments, adjusted Net Income, adjusted Net Income excluding Honeywell reimbursement agreement payments, adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share, and constant currency growth are important indicators of operating performance. They should be read in connection with our financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP.
A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to the corresponding GAAP measure is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts due to the impact and timing on future operating results arising from items excluded from these measures, particularly environmental expense, Honeywell reimbursement agreement expense or gain, stock compensation expense, repositioning charges, and other non-operating expense (income).
