Please revise to present your non-GAAP financial measures after your comparison of fiscal year results on a GAAP basis to provide equal or greater prominence to GAAP.

Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment, and in its future filings, the Company will revise the presentation of its non-GAAP financial measures such that the non-GAAP financial measures appear after our comparison of the most directly comparable measures prepared on a GAAP basis, in order to provide equal or greater prominence to the corresponding GAAP measures.

We note you present the impacts to your "other non-GAAP information" as a result of an error correction, this would appear to be reflective of a non-GAAP measure presented in the notes to your financial statements. Refer to Item 10(e)(1)(ii)(C) of Regulation S-K. Please advise or revise to remove the measure from your future periodic and annual filings.

Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment, and in its future filings, the Company will remove the discussion of “Other Non-GAAP Information,” including the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, from the notes to the financial statements, to ensure compliance with Item 10(e)(1)(ii)(C) of Regulation S-K.
