  • Adjusted earnings were $0.89 per share while GAAP results showed a $4.52 loss per share following the reversals and write-downs.
  • The company cut its 2025 outlook to $3.9–$4.0 billion in revenue and trimmed its adjusted EPS range, with free cash flow now expected to be negative by as much as about $200 million.
