Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To
supplement
the
actual
results
in
accordance
with
U.S.
generally
accepted
accounting
principles
(GAAP),
for
the
applicable
periods,
the
Company
also
uses
certain
non-GAAP
financial
measures
as
discussed
below,
which
are
adjusted
for
GAAP-based
results.
The
use
of
non-GAAP
adjustments
are
not
in
accordance
with
or
an
alternative
for
GAAP.
The
adjustments
are
provided
to
enhance
the
overall
understanding
of
the
Company’s
financial
performance
for
the
applicable
periods
and
are
also
indicators
that
management
utilizes
for
planning
and
forecasting
future
periods.
The
non-GAAP
measures
utilized
by
the
Company
are
not
necessarily
comparable
to
similarly
titled
measures
of
other
companies.  
The
Company
believes
that
the
presentation
of
non-GAAP
financial
measures
provides
useful
information
to
investors
regarding
the
Company’s
financial
condition
and
results
of
operations
because
these
measures,
when
used
in
conjunction
with
related
GAAP
financial
measures
(i)
together
provide
a
more
comprehensive
view
of
the
Company’s
core
operations
and
ability
to
generate
cash
flow,
(ii)
provide
investors
with
the
financial
analytical
framework
upon
which
management
bases
financial
and
operational
planning
decisions,
and
(iii)
presents
measurements
that
investors
and
rating
agencies
have
indicated
to
management
are
useful
to
them in assessing the Company and its results of operations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA:
EBITDA
represents
net
income
before
the
effect
of
interest
expense,
interest
income,
income
tax
expense
(benefit)
and
depreciation
and
amortization.
EBITDA
is
not
a
calculation
based
upon
GAAP;
however,
the
amounts
included
in
EBITDA
are
derived
from
amounts
included
in
the
consolidated
statement
of
operations
of
the
Company.
