About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the consolidated GAAP financial statements, the company uses
the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP net income, non-
GAAP EPS, and free cash flow. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS
exclude the impact of amortization expense, share-based compensation
expense, restructuring and acquisition-related, and adjustment to tax
valuation allowance items. Free cash flow excludes capital expenditures
and dividends paid. The presentation of these financial measures is not
intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or
superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in
accordance with GAAP.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and
operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-
period comparisons. Our management believes these non-GAAP financial
measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our
performance and liquidity by excluding certain items that may not be
indicative of recurring business results including significant non-cash
expenses. We believe management and investors benefit from referring to
these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance when
planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP
financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to
historical performance and liquidity as well as comparisons to our
