「将来に向けて、2025年度の売上高の健全な成長を期待しています。現在の市況を考慮すると、有機成長率は10%から15%の範囲であると予想されます。さらに、当社のAdaptive Learning and Insights(ALI)および医療関連(MC)ビジネス部門を含むPro-ficiencyの買収が、1500万ドルから1800万ドルを貢献すると予想されます。2025年度のガイダンスは以下の通りです。」
Please note that the Company has not reconciled the adjusted EBITDA or adjusted diluted earnings per share forward-looking guidance included in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP measures because this cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the variability and low visibility with respect to costs related to acquisitions, financings, and employee stock compensation programs, which are potential adjustments to future earnings. We expect the variability of these items to have a potentially unpredictable, and a potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, (gain) loss on currency exchange, any acquisition- or financial-transaction-related expenses, change in value of contingent consideration, and any asset impairment charges. Currency exchange excluded represents the exchange rate fluctuations on the foreign-currency-denominated transactions. The impact of transactions in foreign currency represents the effect of converting revenue and expenses occurring in a currency other than the functional currency.
Adjusted Diluted EPS
Adjusted Diluted EPS is calculated based on net income excluding the impact related to the previous items.
Adjusted Diluted EPS for fiscal 2024 is calculated based on net income excluding the impact of any acquisition- or financial-transaction-related expenses, any asset impairment charges, change in value of contingent consideration, and tax provisions/benefits related to the previous items.
The Company excludes the above items because they are outside of the Company’s normal operations and/or, in certain cases, are difficult to forecast accurately for future periods.

Forward-Looking Statements
Except for historical information, the matters discussed in this press release are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Words like “believe,” “expect,” and “anticipate” mean that these are our best estimates as of this writing, but there can be no assurances that expected or anticipated results or events will actually take place, so our actual future results could differ significantly from those statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: our ability to successfully integrate the Pro-ficiency business with our own as well as expenses we may incur in connection therewith, our ability to maintain our competitive advantages, acceptance of new software and improved versions of our existing software by our customers, the general economics of the pharmaceutical industry, our ability to finance growth, our ability to continue to attract and retain highly qualified technical staff, market conditions, macroeconomic factors, and a sustainable market. Further information on our risk factors is contained in our quarterly and annual reports and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
