Use of Non-GAAP Financial Estimates

This press release contains financial estimates which have not been calculated in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to make operating decisions, forecast results for future periods, and compare operating performance against prior periods. These non-GAAP financial measures provide management with a means of understanding and evaluating operating trends in our ongoing business by excluding certain non-cash and non-recurring expenses and other items that management believes might otherwise make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods more difficult, obscure trends in ongoing operations or reduce management’s ability to make useful forecasts.

We provide investors with these non-GAAP financial estimates because we believe it is important for investors to be able to closely monitor and understand changes in our ability to generate income and profit from ongoing business operations. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures also give investors an effective method to identify operating trends and make forecasts for future periods. We believe that disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures contributes to enhanced financial reporting transparency and provides investors with added clarity about the performance of our ongoing business operations.

These non-GAAP financial estimates do not reflect share-based compensation expense, restructuring-related charges, acquisition-related expenses and certain deferred executive compensation, as well as certain non-recurring and/or non-cash items related to the retirement of convertible debt and income taxes.
