We are making intentional choices to prioritize these initiatives that we believe will have the greatest benefit for the long-term health of our business,” continued Sistani.

Full Year Fiscal 2024 Guidance
The Company is providing the following full year fiscal 2024 guidance:
Revenues are expected to be in the range of $830.0 million to $860.0 million, reflecting a $55 million year-over-year headwind from the strategic decision to wind down the Company’s low-margin consumer products business.
Operating Income is expected to be in the range of $100.0 million to $110.0 million. Changes to modernize the Company’s technology organization required the Company to update its capitalized labor rate expectations. Based on these updated expectations, an estimated $9.0 million of expenses that were previously expected to be capitalized will now be reflected on the income statement in 2024. This shift in operating methodology does not impact cash.

Statement regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following provides information regarding non-GAAP financial measures used in this earnings release and today’s scheduled conference call:
To supplement the Company's consolidated results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company has disclosed non-GAAP financial measures of operating results that exclude or adjust certain items. Gross profit, gross margin, operating income (loss), operating income (loss) margin, and selling, general and administrative expenses are discussed both as reported (on a GAAP basis) and as adjusted (on a non-GAAP basis), as applicable, with respect to (i) the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 to exclude (a) the net impact of (w) charges associated with the Company's previously disclosed 2023 restructuring plan (the “2023 plan”) and (x) charges associated with the Company's previously disclosed 2022 restructuring plan (the “2022 plan”), and (b) the impact of the impairment charges for the Company's goodwill related to its Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland reporting units and the impairment charge for the Company's franchise rights acquired related to its Northern Ireland unit of account; (ii) the full year of fiscal 2023 to exclude (a) the net impact of (w) charges associated with the Company's 2023 plan, (x) charges associated with the Company's 2022 plan or the reversal of certain of the charges associated with the 2022 plan, as applicable, (y) charges associated with the Company's previously disclosed 2021 organizational restructuring plan (the “2021 plan”) or the reversal of certain of the charges associated with the 2021 plan, as applicable, and (z) the reversal of certain of the charges associated with the Company's previously disclosed 2020 organizational restructuring plan (the “2020 plan”), (b) the impact of certain non-recurring transaction costs in connection with the acquisition of Sequence (as defined below), and (c) the impact of the impairment charges for the Company's goodwill related to its Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland reporting units and the impairment charge for the Company's franchise rights acquired related to its Northern Ireland unit of account; (iii) the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 to exclude (a) the impact of impairment charges for the Company's franchise rights acquired related to its United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia units of account and an impairment charge for the Company's goodwill related to its Republic of Ireland reporting unit and (b) the net impact of (w) charges associated with the Company's 2023 plan, (x) charges associated with the Company's 2022 plan, (y) the reversal of certain of the charges associated with the Company's 2021 plan, and (z) the reversal of certain of the charges associated with the Company's 2020 plan; and (iv) the full year of fiscal 2022 to exclude (a) the impact of impairment charges for the Company's franchise rights acquired related to its United States, Canada, United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia units of account and impairment charges for the Company's goodwill related to its Republic of Ireland reporting unit and its wholly-owned subsidiary Kurbo, Inc., and (b) the net impact of (w) charges associated with the 2023 plan, (x) charges associated with the 2022 plan, (y) charges associated with the 2021 plan or the reversal of certain of the charges associated with the 2021 plan, as applicable, and (z) the reversal of certain of the charges associated with the 2020 plan. We generally refer to such non-GAAP measures as follows: (i) with respect to the adjustments for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, as excluding or adjusting for the net impact of restructuring charges and the impact of franchise rights acquired and goodwill impairments; (ii) with respect to the adjustments for the full year of fiscal 2023, as excluding or adjusting for the net impact of restructuring charges, the impact of acquisition transaction costs, and the impact of franchise rights acquired and goodwill impairments; and (iii) with respect to the adjustments for the fourth quarter and full year of fiscal 2022, as excluding or adjusting for the impact of franchise rights acquired and goodwill impairments and the net impact of restructuring charges. The Company also presents in the attachments to this release the non-GAAP financial measures earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation (“EBITDAS”); earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, franchise rights acquired and goodwill impairments, net restructuring charges, and certain non-recurring transaction costs in connection with the acquisition of Sequence (“Adjusted EBITDAS”); total debt less unamortized deferred financing costs, unamortized debt discount and cash on hand (i.e., net debt); and a net debt/Adjusted EBITDAS ratio. In addition, the Company presents certain of its financial results on a constant currency basis in addition to GAAP results. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. The Company calculates constant currency by calculating current-year results using prior-year foreign currency exchange rates. A reconciliation of the forward-looking full year EBITDAS outlook to net income cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliation that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a material impact on its future GAAP financial results.
Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information for its and investors' evaluation of the Company's business performance and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of the performance of the Company's business. While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the Company's business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similarly titled measures reported by other companies. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" attached to this release and reconciliations, if any, included elsewhere in this release for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
