However, Merit&#8217;s management does not consider this non-GAAP measure in isolation or as an alternative to measures determined in accordance with GAAP.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Readers should consider the non-GAAP measure used in this release in addition to, not as a substitute for, financial reporting measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure generally excludes some, but not all, items that may affect Merit&#8217;s net income. In addition, it is subject to inherent limitations as it reflects the exercise of judgment by management about which items are excluded. The non-GAAP financial measure used in this release may not be comparable with similarly titled measures of other companies. Merit urges readers to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure included herein, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Merit&#8217;s business or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;">Constant Currency Revenue</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Merit&#8217;s constant currency revenue is prepared by converting the current-period reported revenue of subsidiaries whose functional currency is a currency other than the U.S. dollar at the applicable foreign exchange rates in effect during the comparable prior-year period and adjusting for the effects of hedging transactions on reported revenue, which are recorded in the U.S. dollar. The preliminary approximate constant currency revenue adjustment of $6.4 million to preliminary approximate reported revenue for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2023 was calculated using
