Basis for Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 22, 2022 (2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K). Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for an entire year.
