To assist investors in understanding our financial performance, we supplement the financial results that are generated in accordance with the
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, with non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP operating expenses,
non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted net income per share. We believe that these non-GAAP measures
provide meaningful insight into our operating performance excluding certain event-specific charges, and provide an alternative perspective of our results
of operations. We use non-GAAP measures to assess our operating performance for the quarter. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial
measures reflect an additional way of analyzing aspects of our ongoing operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provides a more complete
understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business.
