Geelong VFL has locked in its training list for the 2025 pre-season with 46 talents from across Victoria to lock horns. Members of the training squad will be buoyed by Geelong’s selection of Cats VFL ruckman Joe Pike in last month’s rookie draft. The Barwon Heads product spent a year with the Geelong VFL program before being taken by the Cats. SCROLL DOWN FOR THE FULL SQUAD The players training with the Cats hail from Corowa on the New South Wales to Portland in south western Victoria, and there are a host of new faces. One of the most notable is Colac & District league sensation Charlie McCartin, the brother of Sydney defender Tom and 2014 No.1 draft pick Tom, who dominated under ex-Carlton stopper Ed Curnow at Lorne this season. McCartin had a handful of clubs heading out to Lorne to watch him in action and the key defender played two games in Sydney’s VFL side, having been a part of the Swans AFL recruiting team previously. Geelong Falcons prospects Dan Lowther, who tested at the state combine and Kobe George are also part of the squad along with sons of guns Noah Caracella and Alfie Wojcinski. Caracella, the son of Brisbane, Essendon and Collingwood player Blake, played a game with Essendon VFL under his father, while Wocjinski is the son of three-time premiership Cat David. Former Geelong listed player Osca Riccardi, son of Cats great Peter, also features after recovering from a serious brain infection last year that left him on life support. Of the list, 34 have interchange clubs in the AFL Barwon region: 25 from the Geelong league, five from the Bellarine, three from the Geelong & District and McCartin in the CDFNL. Two of those GDFNL are East Geelong products in Ben Crombie and Austin Mulvahill, while Oscar Barter has been rewarded for his strong season where he booted 45 goals in 16 matches for Anakie. Ben Crombie is part of the squad. Picture: Mark Wilson South Barwon boasts six players in the training squad, including Mathieson medallist Doyle Madigan – who wasn’t part of the VFL program last year – and Port Fairy recruit Oscar Pollock, while Bell Park has five. St Joseph’s spearhead Paddy De Grandi is another notable inclusion to the training squad after slotting 61 goals in 20 matches this season. The final 38-player VFL squad was finalised in March last year.

Ronaldo, with his commitment to staying in peak physical condition, could very well follow suit.
His message struck a chord with his followers, who expressed their admiration for his positive outlook and resilience in the face of adversity. Many shared their own stories of career transitions and how they were inspired by Retired Brother's ability to stay true to himself and remain thankful for the opportunities he had.Revenue of $14,054 million for the fourth quarter, up 51 percent from the prior year period GAAP net income of $4,324 million for the fourth quarter; Non-GAAP net income of $6,965 million for the fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $9,089 million for the fourth quarter, or 65 percent of revenue GAAP diluted EPS of $0.90 for the fourth quarter; Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $1.42 for the fourth quarter Cash from operations of $5,604 million for the fourth quarter, less capital expenditures of $122 million , resulted in $5,482 million of free cash flow, or 39 percent of revenue Quarterly common stock dividend increased by 11 percent from the prior quarter to $0.59 per share First quarter fiscal year 2025 revenue guidance of approximately $14.6 billion , an increase of 22 percent from the prior year period First quarter fiscal year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of approximately 66 percent of projected revenue (1) PALO ALTO, Calif. , Dec. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Broadcom Inc.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures The non-GAAP measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial data is included in the supplemental financial data attached to this press release. Broadcom believes non-GAAP financial information provides additional insight into the Company's on-going performance. Therefore, Broadcom provides this information to investors for a more consistent basis of comparison and to help them evaluate the results of the Company's on-going operations and enable more meaningful period to period comparisons. In addition to GAAP reporting, Broadcom provides investors with net income, operating income, gross margin, operating expenses, cash flow and other data on a non-GAAP basis. This non-GAAP information excludes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring and other charges, acquisition-related costs, including integration costs, non-GAAP tax reconciling adjustments, and other adjustments. Management does not believe that these items are reflective of the Company's underlying performance. Internally, these non-GAAP measures are significant measures used by management for purposes of evaluating the core operating performance of the Company, establishing internal budgets, calculating return on investment for development programs and growth initiatives, comparing performance with internal forecasts and targeted business models, strategic planning, evaluating and valuing potential acquisition candidates and how their operations compare to the Company's operations, and benchmarking performance externally against the Company's competitors. The exclusion of these and other similar items from Broadcom's non-GAAP financial results should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual. Free cash flow measures have limitations as they omit certain components of the overall cash flow statement and do not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Investors should not consider presentation of free cash flow measures as implying that stockholders have any right to such cash. Broadcom's free cash flow may not be calculated in a manner comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies. About Broadcom Broadcom Inc.
