restate

Put another way

To restate is to say something again, usually in different words for clarity or emphasis: Let me restate my position.

The word often signals a summary or reformulation: To restate the obvious, we need more funding.

A restatement may also correct or update previous information, as when a company restates its earnings after discovering accounting errors.
