Netflix states that it cannot reconcile forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures because it's impossible to predict with reasonable effort the exact amounts or timing of certain reconciling items. These items, such as changes in property and equipment, other assets, and currency exchange rates, can have a significant impact on future GAAP results.

When information is 'furnished' under Item 2.02, it is generally for disclosure purposes but is not subject to the same liability provisions under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as information that is formally 'filed'. This means the company may have less stringent legal accountability for the accuracy of furnished information compared to filed information.
