so we may better understand your disclosure.

comments apply to your facts and circumstances, please tell us why in your response.

1.We note in your response to prior comment 2 that revenue prior to the impact of revenue
reserves is a non-GAAP measure.  It appears that this non-GAAP measure represents a
tailored accounting principle prohibited by Rule 100(b) of Regulation G, as discussed in
Question 100.04 of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance and Disclosure
Interpretations (CD&Is).  Please remove this non-GAAP measure from future filings.
Alternatively, tell us how you comply with the guidance.

2.We have reviewed your responses to prior comments 3 and 4 and have the following
comments:
•Your references to, and use of, revenue reserves does not appear consistent with the
guidance in ASC 606 as ASC 606 does not make reference to reserves.  Please
explain to us in further detail the nature of your revenue reserves, how revenue
reserves are determined, and how your use of revenue reserves complies with ASC
606;
•In addition, you set forth that you have not recorded any bad debt expense for 2021
and 2020 and that your contracts do not contain variable consideration, but it appears
that you are applying ASC 606-10-32-5 when you record revenue reserves.  Please
clarify for us whether the promised consideration is variable as set forth in
either ASC 606-10-32-7 (a) or (b);
•Please clarify for us which of the methods under ASC 606-10-32-8 you utilize to
estimate variable consideration, if applicable;
•Revise your disclosure to include all of the items required by ASC 606-10-50, as
applicable.  For example, provide the qualitative and quantitative disclosure about the
significant judgments and changes in judgments, including inputs and assumptions,
related to your accounting for discounts, rebates, refunds, or credits, as set forth in
ASC 606-10- 50-1(b), 50-17, and 50-20; and
•Please provide us a revised accounting policy and disclosure that address any changes
or clarifications from the preceding comments, to be included in future filings.
            You may contact Michael Fay at 202-551-3812 or Brian Cascio, Accounting Branch
Chief, at 202-551-3676 if you have questions regarding the comments and related matters.
Sincerely,
Division of Corporation Finance
