1. | We note that you have titled several of your non-GAAP measures as “pro forma.” Based on the information in the filing, it does not appear that this information is pro forma financial information based on the guidance in Article 11 of Regulation S-X. If true, please revise your presentation to more clearly present your non-GAAP measures eliminating the use of the words pro forma. |
RESPONSE: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised pages 14 through 21 of the Registration Statement to delete the words “pro forma,” and instead use the words “as adjusted.”
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions concerning any aspect of the Registration Statement or if we may be of further assistance. You can reach me directly at (202) 469-5271 and Kevin Houlihan at (202) 469-5269. We appreciate your prompt attention to this matter.
Sincerely yours,
HOLLAND & KNIGHT LLP
