Supplemental Response Filed October 27, 2021

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Non-GAAP Measures

Our Non-GAAP Financial Measures, page 64

 

1.

We note your response to our prior comment 1. It appears that the Gross margin presented to reconcile to non-GAAP Adjusted gross margin is calculated without subtracting the Operating expenses line item. For the non-GAAP Adjusted gross margin measure you present, the most directly comparable GAAP-basis measure appears to be a fully burdened gross margin. Please revise your presentation accordingly.
