The Company provides its guidance for the first quarter and full year 2024 as follows
Guidance Issued February 22, 2024
1Q 2024 Revenue $347 million - $355 million
1Q 2024 Adjusted Fully Diluted EPS $1.50 - $1.54
Guidance Issued February 22, 2024
FY 2024 Revenue $1.41 billion - $1.445 billion
FY 2024 Adjusted Fully Diluted EPS $6.50 - $6.70
On a forward-looking basis, the Company does not provide GAAP income per common share guidance or a reconciliation of adjusted fully diluted EPS to GAAP income per common share because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty business development and acquisition related expenses, purchase accounting fair value adjustments, and any one-time, non-recurring charges. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to results computed in accordance with GAAP. As a result, it is the Company's view that a quantitative reconciliation of adjusted fully diluted EPS on a forward-looking basis is not available without unreasonable effort.
