+Added: The Company now expects adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $119 million to $139 million in fiscal 2027 as a whole due to QNX exceeding the top end of its expected adjusted EBITDA range and the stronger than expected Licensing segment adjusted EBITDA, each as discussed above in “Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA by Segment”.
+Added: The Company expects non-GAAP EPS to be in the range of $0.03 per share to $0.04 per share in the second quarter of fiscal 2027.
+Added: The Company previously stated that it expected non-GAAP EPS to be in the range of $0.15 to $0.19 in fiscal 2027 as a whole.
+Added: The Company now expects non-GAAP EPS to be in the range of $0.16 to $0.20 in fiscal 2027 as a whole for the reasons discussed above regarding adjusted EBITDA.
+Added: The Company expects operating cash flow to be in the range of breakeven to $10 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2027.
+Added: The Company does not provide a reconciliation of expected adjusted EBITDA and expected non-GAAP basic EPS for the second quarter of fiscal year 2027, an d for fiscal 2027 as a whole, to the most directly comparable expected GAAP measures because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty, among other things, restructuring charges, impairment charges and DSU revaluation adjustment and, accordingly, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort.
These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the guidance period.
