2.
As a related matter, please remove your non-GAAP measure from the Segment Review section in MD&A. In addition, if you elect to present your non-GAAP measure Consolidated adjusted EBITDA in your filing, please start your reconciliation with loss before income taxes, the GAAP measure, and end the reconciliation with Consolidated adjusted EBITDA. Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance & Disclosure Interpretations Question 102.10(a).

 

Response:

 

The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and will in future filings, beginning with its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2024, remove the presentations of and references to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA in MD&A. To the extent that the Company determines in the future to disclose Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA in MD&A, it will provide equal or greater prominence to net income (loss), and begin the related reconciliation with that GAAP measure and end it with Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA. The Company will also revise its segment-related disclosures in MD&A to remove presentations of and references to non-GAAP measures, and only include segment reporting metrics that in the Company’s judgment are necessary to an understanding of the Company’s business (such as net sales by reporting segment).
