About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release refers to projections of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share to provide a supplemental measure of our operating performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, which are non-GAAP financial measures, are useful performance measures used by us to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance and earnings on a consistent basis from period-to-period and to provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than measures under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) can provide alone. Our board and management also use Adjusted EBITDA as one of the primary methods for planning and forecasting overall expected performance and for evaluating on a quarterly and annual basis actual results against such expectations, and as a performance evaluation metric in determining achievement of certain compensation programs and plans for Company management. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, as referred in this press release, as presented by us in past disclosures have included, and we expect will include, costs such as non-cash stock awards, one-time non-recurring type costs, transaction fees, and restructuring expenses. These non-GAAP financial measures may have limitations as analytical tools, and these measures should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for analysis of Unique’s results as reported under GAAP.
