Adjusted EBITDA
 
ZAGG considers earnings before other income or expense; income tax provision; depreciation and amortization; and share-based compensation expense related to equity awards ("Adjusted EBITDA") to be an important financial indicator of the Company's operational strength and the performance of its business. These results should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), but should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.
 
A reconciliation of the differences between Adjusted EBITDA and the most comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, is presented under the heading "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information to GAAP" immediately following the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations included below.
 
The difference between Adjusted EBITDA per share, a non-GAAP measure, and GAAP EPS, is other income or expense, income tax provision, depreciation and amortization, and share-based compensation.
 
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2012 was $14.4 million versus $5.4 million in the first quarter of 2011, representing an increase of 166% over prior year’s results, or $0.46 per diluted share versus $0.21 per diluted share in the first quarter last year.

Outlook
 
ZAGG reiterates its full year guidance for 2012 revenue in excess of $250 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $55 million — $60 million. This compares to reported revenue for 2011 of $179.1 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $45.3 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure
 
Investors are cautioned that the Adjusted EBITDA, or earnings before other income or expense, income tax provision, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation, contained in this press release are not financial measures under generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, they should not be construed as alternatives to any other measures of performance determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or as indicators of our operating performance, liquidity or cash flows generated by operating, investing and financing activities, as there may be significant factors or trends that they fail to address. We present this financial information because we believe that it is helpful to some investors as a measure of our performance. We caution investors that non-GAAP financial information, by its nature, departs from traditional accounting conventions; accordingly, its use can make it difficult to compare our current results with our results from other reporting periods and with the results of other companies.
