This transition, while creating transitional costs of $189 million year-to-date, has fundamentally altered the firm's revenue reporting structure. Despite the accounting shifts, adjusted EBITDA climbed 43% to $257 million during the first nine months of the year, reflecting improved operational efficiency.
