Business Outlook
For the second quarter of 2021, based
on current information available to the Company and business
seasonality, the Company expects net revenues to be between
$130 million and $145 million, which would represent an increase
of between 14% to 27% compared with net revenues in the second
quarter of 2020. Excluding the net revenues from sales of personal
protective equipment, which are no longer sold in 2021, the
year-over-year growth in net revenues for the second quarter of
2021 would be 48% to 65%.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are
prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use the
following non-GAAP financial measures to help evaluate our
operating performance:
"Adjusted EBITDA" represents income from operations before
share-based compensation expense, interest income, interest
expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization
expenses. Although other companies may calculate adjusted EBITDA
differently or not present it at all, we believe that the adjusted
EBITDA helps to identify underlying trends in our operating
results, enhancing their understanding of the past performance and
future prospects.
