Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release includes the following financial measures defined as “non-GAAP financial measures” by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”): Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP Operating Income, Non-GAAP EBITDA Margin, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Fully Diluted EPS. We refer to these Non-GAAP financial measures to describe earnings and earnings per share excluding the effects of changes in contingent consideration payable. We believe such measures provide useful information to investors because they provide information about the financial performance of the Company’s ongoing business.
Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP Operating Income, Non-GAAP EBITDA Margin, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Fully Diluted EPS are used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and evaluation of overall operating performance. These measures may be different from similar measures used by other companies. The presentation of this financial information, which is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. For a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the nearest comparable GAAP financial measure, see “Reconciliation to GAAP Operating Income, Operating Margin, Net Income and Fully Diluted EPS” included in this release.
