3.     Please present and discuss comparative GAAP measures/ratios when you
present and
       discuss non-GAAP measures/ratios. In this regard, you present prior
quarter/year
       adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross profit margin, adjusted SG&A,
adjusted SG&A
       margin, adjusted operating loss, adjusted operating margin, and adjusted
loss per share
       and discuss the business reasons for changes from the prior period
without
       comparable disclosure for the GAAP measures. Refer to Item
10(e)(1)(i)(A) of
       Regulation S-K and Question 102.10(a) of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures
       Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations. In addition, in your Q4 & FY
2024
       Earnings Presentation on your website, you present YoY changes (in bps,
dollars
       and/or percent) and percentage of sales for many non-GAAP measures
without
       presenting similar disclosures for the comparable GAAP measures. Refer
to Rule
       100(a) of Regulation G. In the Earnings Presentations, also do not refer
to non-GAAP
       amounts as    pro forma    (e.g., pro forma cash availability, pro forma
liquidity, etc.),
       when they are not computed in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation
S-X.
4.     Adjusted debt to adjusted EBITDAR ratio appears to represent a non-GAAP
valuation
       measure, rather than a performance measure. Please present this ratio
for the most
       recent valuation period only with no comparison to prior periods. In
addition, when
       you present this ratio, also present the comparable GAAP debt to net
income
       ratio. Refer to Item 10(e)(1)(i)(A) of Regulation S-K and Question
102.10(a) of the
       Non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations.
Similarly

GAAP debt
       to net income ratio when leverage ratio is presented and discussed on a
historical
       basis. Refer to Rule 100(a) of Regulation G.
        We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for
the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action
or absence
of action by the staff.
