Adjusted EPS Financial Overview
Non-GAAP measures - EBITDA and EBITDA Margin
We include net income and net income margin, which are calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principle as well as EBITDA and EBITDA margin to
provide meaningful information about our operational efficiency compared with our competitors by excluding the impact of certain items. We calculate EBITDA as earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We also exclude other gains and losses, which is primarily comprised of fair value adjustments on our investments which
management does not believe are indicative of our core business performance. From time to time, we will adjust EBITDA ("Adjusted EBITDA") for certain items that we
adjust from operating income, which we believe is meaningful because it best allows comparison of the performance with that of the comparable period. EBITDA or Adjusted
EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA by consolidated net sales.
EBITDA and EBITDA margin are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes, however, that these measures provide meaningful information about our
operational efficiency by excluding the impact of differences in tax jurisdictions and structures, debt levels, capital investments and other items which management does not
believe are indicative of our core business performance. We consider net income to be the financial measure computed in accordance with GAAP that is the most directly
comparable financial measure to our calculation of EBITDA. We consider net income margin to be the financial measure computed in accordance with GAAP that is the most
directly comparable financial measure to our calculation of EBITDA margin. Although EBITDA and EBITDA margin are standard financial measures, numerous methods exist
for calculating a company's EBITDA and EBITDA margin. As a result, the method used by management to calculate our EBITDA and EBITDA margin may differ from the
methods used by other companies to calculate similarly titled measures.
Net income margin was 1.1% and 1.5% for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in net income margin was primarily due to the decrease
in net income, which was impacted by higher unrealized losses on our equity and other investments, when compared to the same period in the previous year. EBITDA margin
was 6.0% and 5.7% for the 3 months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in EBITDA margin was due to higher operating income driven primarily by an
increase in net sales when compared to the same period in the previous year.View entire presentation
