Adjustments primarily exclude recurring non-cash items (e.g., stock-based compensation, valuation adjustments) and items management does not consider in assessing ongoing operating performance (e.g., litigation expense)[16](index=16&type=chunk) -

The company includes forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures (**adjusted EBITDA** and **adjusted EPS guidance**) for Q3 and full year 2025, based on internal forecasts[21](index=21&type=chunk) - Quantitative reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures are not provided because the excluded items are not available on a prospective basis without unreasonable effort, and such reconciliations could imply a confusing degree of precision and certainty[21](index=21&type=chunk) [Corporate & Legal Information](index=3&type=section&id=Corporate%20%26%20Legal%20Information) [Conference Call Information](index=3&type=section&id=Conference%20Call%20Information) AudioEye announced details for its Q2 2025 earnings conference call, including the date, time, dial-in numbers, webcast link, and replay availability for investors and interested parties -
