Unless otherwise indicated in this presentation, all information in this presentation is as of August 18, 2023. This presentation contains non-GAAP financial measures and key metrics relating to the Company's past performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures versus their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. As required by Regulation G, we have provided reconciliations of those measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, which are available in the Appendix. COHERENT Copyright 2023, Coherent.
