KORU MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC. ITEM 2.02 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.
On
KORU Medical is making reference to non-GAAP financial measures in both the press release and the conference call. Our management believes that investors' understanding of KORU Medical's performance is enhanced by disclosing the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS as a reasonable basis for comparison of our ongoing results of operations. KORU Medical strongly encourages investors to review its consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and cautions investors that the non-GAAP measures used by KORU Medical may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered replacements for, and should be read together with, the most comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the attached Exhibit 99.1 press release.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (net (loss)/income) before interest income, net, income tax (benefit)/expense, depreciation and amortization, reorganization charges, discontinued product expense, litigation expenses, manufacturing initiative expenses and stock-based compensation expense. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is used by investors and other users of our financial statements as a supplemental financial measure that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, we believe provides additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business. We also believe the disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare our cash flow generating capacity from quarter to quarter and year to year. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management as a supplemental internal measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations. Because management uses Adjusted EBITDA for such purposes, KORU Medical uses Adjusted EBITDA as a significant criterion for determining the amount of annual cash incentive compensation paid to our executive officers and employees. We have historically found that Adjusted EBITDA is superior to other metrics for our company-wide cash incentive program, as it is more easily explained and understood by our typical employee.
We present diluted earnings per share after eliminating items that we believe are not part of our ordinary operations and affect the comparability of the periods presented ("Adjusted EPS"). Adjusted EPS includes adjustments for reorganization charges, discontinued product expense, litigation expenses, manufacturing initiative expenses, reorganization stock-based compensation expense, and tax (expense) adjustment.
We believe adjustments for these items allow investors to better understand our underlying operating results and facilitate comparisons between the periods shown. Management uses Adjusted EPS as a supplemental internal measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations.
The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, is furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
