Dear Geoff Smith:

Please respond to this letter within ten business days by providing the

Form 8-K dated February 6, 2025
Exhibit 99.1, page 1
1. We note you presentation of pro forma adjusted diluted earnings per
share from
continuing operations. The numerator used to compute this measure, the
pro forma
adjusted net income from continuing operations, includes the net income
attributable
to noncontrolling shareholders. The denominator, pro forma weighted
average shares
used in this calculation, includes Class A shares plus all dilutive
potential shares. It
appears that this calculation includes measures which substitute
individually tailored
recognition and measurement methods for those of GAAP. Please tell us
how you
considered Question 100.04 of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance
and
Disclosure Interpretations.
2. We note you present several non-GAAP measures: pro forma adjusted income
before
taxes from continuing operations, pro forma adjusted net income from
continuing
operations, pro forma adjusted diluted earnings per share from
continuing operations
and pro forma weighted average shares of adjusted diluted Class A common
stock

outstanding. Please explain why these measures are labelled as pro
forma as these
measures do not appear to be consistent with Article 11 of Regulation
S-X. Refer to
Question 100.05 of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance and
Disclosure
Interpretations. Also please expand disclosure to clarify the purpose of
these non-
GAAP measures, how management uses them and why management believes they
are
useful to investors. Refer to Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of
Operations, page 56
3. We note that you present annualized recurring revenue ("ARR") as a key
performance
indicator. ARR appears to be a metric. Please revise your disclosures to
include or
clarify the following information:
How it is calculated, including any estimates or assumptions
underlying the metric
or its calculation;
The reasons why the metric provides useful information to investors;
and
How management uses the metric in managing or monitoring the
performance of the
business.
Refer to SEC Release No. 33-10751.
In closing, 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.

Sincerely,
