Adjusted measures exclude items such as amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, and restructuring costs. For Q4 and full-year 2026 guidance, the company does not reconcile adjusted revenue or adjusted net income to GAAP, citing the unreasonable efforts exception, because acquisition, foreign exchange, and other items are difficult to predict and could significantly affect GAAP results.
