羅盤礦物報告2024財年第三季度最終業績


堪薩斯州奧弗蘭公園(2024年10月29日)- 羅盤礦物(紐交所: cmp設備),一家領先的全球必需礦物提供商,今天報告了最終的2024財年第三季度業績。

除非另有說明,否則應該假定下文提及的時間段是以財政年爲基準。

報告更新

2024年10月29日,羅盤礦物提交了一份表格10-K/A和一份表格10-Q/A,更正了涵蓋的基本報表(i)未經審計的基本報表,包括2023年6月30日季度報告中包括的基本報表,(ii)截至2023年9月30日報告的審計基本報表,(iii)2023年12月31日季度報告中包含的未經審計的基本報表,以及(iv)2024年3月31日季度報告中包含的未經審計的基本報表。隨着這些重述的完成,該公司已經提交了截至2024年6月30日季度報告表格10-Q。

2024年第三季度的最終結果在所有重大方面與2024年9月17日披露的初步結果一致。以下是截至2024年6月30日季度的完整一套新聞發佈財務亮點,包括季度比較和年初至今金額。

公司目前正在整理2024年的財務結果,並完成2025年的預算。由於時間安排,管理層認爲無法就投資社區最感興趣的大部分事項發表評論,因此公司將放棄就2024年第三季度的業績進行電話會議討論。公司預計將在報告2024年第四季度業績時恢復按季度舉行的常規盈利電話會議。

非GAAP措施
除了使用美國通用會計準則(「GAAP」)財務指標外,管理層還使用各種非GAAP財務指標來評估公司及其各經營部門的績效。儘管合併財務報表可以了解公司的整體經營結果、財務狀況和現金流量,但管理層分析基本報表的各個元件,以識別特定的趨勢和評估特定的業績領域。

管理層使用EBITDA,調整後的EBITDA(根據管理層認爲不代表公司持續經營業績的項目調整後的EBITDA)、EBITDA利潤率等指標評估公司核心業務運營的經營績效,因爲在公司層面管理資源配置、融資方式和資本成本以及所得稅位置,與經營板塊的活動獨立,經營設施位於不同的課稅司法管轄區,這可能導致淨收益出現相當大的波動。管理層還使用調整後的營業利潤、調整後的營業利潤率、調整後的淨收益和調整後的攤薄每股收益,排除了某些管理層不認爲代表基礎經營績效的項目的影響。這些指標的呈現不應被解釋爲未來的結果不會受到異常或非經常性項目的影響。管理層認爲這些非GAAP財務指標在評估基礎績效時爲管理層和投資者提供了有用的額外信息。EBITDA和調整後的EBITDA不包括利息支出、所得稅和折舊、減值及攤銷費用,這些都是公司成本結構的重要組成部分,無法被排除。此外,調整後的EBITDA和調整後的EBITDA利潤率不包括特定的現金和非現金項目,包括股票補償、減值損失和某些重組費用。因此,任何排除這些元素的指標都具有重要限制。管理層使用的非GAAP財務指標不應孤立地考慮,也不能代替根據GAAP制定的淨收益、營業利潤、現金流或其他財務數據,也不能作爲整體盈利能力或流動性的衡量標準。由於計算方法可能存在潛在的差異,這些指標不一定能與其他公司的同類指標相比較。管理層使用的非GAAP財務指標的計算方法已列於以下表格中。所有利潤率數字定義爲相關指標除以銷售額。公司未提供前瞻性非GAAP財務指標與按照GAAP計算和報告的最直接可比財務指標的調和,因爲公司無法估計重大的非經常性、非經常性項目和/或獨特非核心舉措,如果不付出不合理努力。這些項目的金額和時間尚不確定,可能對公司的結果產生重大影響。

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.
