罗盘矿物报告2024财年第三季度最终财报


堪萨斯州奥弗兰公园(2024年10月29日)- 罗盘矿物(纽交所: cmp设备),一家领先的全球必需矿物提供商,今天报告了最终的2024财年第三季度业绩。

除非另有说明,否则应该假定下文提及的时间段是以财政年为基准。

报告更新

2024年10月29日,罗盘矿物提交了一份表格10-K/A和一份表格10-Q/A,更正了涵盖的基本报表(i)未经审计的基本报表,包括2023年6月30日季度报告中包括的基本报表,(ii)截至2023年9月30日报告的审计基本报表,(iii)2023年12月31日季度报告中包含的未经审计的基本报表,以及(iv)2024年3月31日季度报告中包含的未经审计的基本报表。随着这些重述的完成,该公司已经提交了截至2024年6月30日季度报告表格10-Q。

2024年第三季度的最终结果在所有重大方面与2024年9月17日披露的初步结果一致。以下是截至2024年6月30日季度的完整一套新闻发布财务亮点,包括季度比较和年初至今金额。

公司目前正在整理2024年的财务结果,并完成2025年的预算。由于时间安排,管理层认为无法就投资社区最感兴趣的大部分事项发表评论,因此公司将放弃就2024年第三季度的业绩进行电话会议讨论。公司预计将在报告2024年第四季度业绩时恢复按季度举行的常规盈利电话会议。

非GAAP措施
除了使用美国通用会计准则(“GAAP”)财务指标外,管理层还使用各种非GAAP财务指标来评估公司及其各经营部门的绩效。尽管合并财务报表可以了解公司的整体经营结果、财务状况和现金流量,但管理层分析基本报表的各个元件,以识别特定的趋势和评估特定的业绩领域。

管理层使用EBITDA,调整后的EBITDA(根据管理层认为不代表公司持续经营业绩的项目调整后的EBITDA)、EBITDA利润率等指标评估公司核心业务运营的经营绩效,因为在公司层面管理资源配置、融资方式和资本成本以及所得税位置,与经营板块的活动独立,经营设施位于不同的课税司法管辖区,这可能导致净收益出现相当大的波动。管理层还使用调整后的营业利润、调整后的营业利润率、调整后的净收益和调整后的摊薄每股收益,排除了某些管理层不认为代表基础经营绩效的项目的影响。这些指标的呈现不应被解释为未来的结果不会受到异常或非经常性项目的影响。管理层认为这些非GAAP财务指标在评估基础绩效时为管理层和投资者提供了有用的额外信息。EBITDA和调整后的EBITDA不包括利息支出、所得税和折旧、减值及摊销费用,这些都是公司成本结构的重要组成部分,无法被排除。此外,调整后的EBITDA和调整后的EBITDA利润率不包括特定的现金和非现金项目,包括股票补偿、减值损失和某些重组费用。因此,任何排除这些元素的指标都具有重要限制。管理层使用的非GAAP财务指标不应孤立地考虑,也不能代替根据GAAP制定的净收益、营业利润、现金流或其他财务数据,也不能作为整体盈利能力或流动性的衡量标准。由于计算方法可能存在潜在的差异,这些指标不一定能与其他公司的同类指标相比较。管理层使用的非GAAP财务指标的计算方法已列于以下表格中。所有利润率数字定义为相关指标除以销售额。公司未提供前瞻性非GAAP财务指标与按照GAAP计算和报告的最直接可比财务指标的调和,因为公司无法估计重大的非经常性、非经常性项目和/或独特非核心举措,如果不付出不合理努力。这些项目的金额和时间尚不确定,可能对公司的结果产生重大影响。

Adjusted operating earnings, adjusted operating earnings margin, adjusted net earnings (loss), and adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted share are presented as supplemental measures of the company’s performance. Management believes these measures provide management and investors with additional information that is helpful when evaluating underlying performance and comparing results on a year-over-year normalized basis. These measures eliminate the impact of certain items that management does not consider indicative of underlying operating performance. These adjustments are itemized below.

Adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted share is adjusted net earnings (loss) divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. You are encouraged to evaluate the adjustments itemized above and the reasons management considers them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating these measures you should be aware that in the future the company may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments presented below.
