Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company also presents a Non-GAAP presentation of Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA. The adjustments to the Company's GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company's underlying operational results, trends and performance. Non-GAAP Net Income excludes changes, income or losses, as applicable, related to one or more of the following: (1) share-based compensation expenses and/or (2) certain tax impact and/or (3) acquisition related expenses and/or (4) share in results of equity investment of affiliated companies. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income before the Company's share in results and sale of equity investment of affiliated companies, share-based compensation, taxes on income, financial (expenses) income, net, and depreciation and amortization. Non-GAAP Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA, however, should not be considered as alternatives to net income and operating income for the period and may not be indicative of the historic operating results of the Company; nor they are meant to be predictive of potential future results. Non-GAAP Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies. See reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Non-GAAP Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA in pages 9 and 12 below.

Note to the financial statements


               In February 2016, the FASB issued
                ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic
                842), which requires lessees to
                recognize leases on-balance sheet
                and disclose key information about
                leasing arrangements. The new
                standard establishes a right-of-
                use (ROU) model that requires a
                lessee to recognize a ROU assets
                and lease liabilities on the
                balance sheet. Leases will be
                classified as finance or
                operating, with classification
                affecting the pattern and
                classification of expense
                recognition in the statement of
                operations. The Company adopted
                the new standard on January 1,
                2019 using the modified
                retrospective transition method
                and did not restate comparative
                periods. The new standard provides
                a number of optional practical
                expedients in transition. The
                Company recognizes the lease
                expenses in the consolidated
                statements of Operations on a
                straight-line basis over the
                lease period.

Additionally, the Company did not separate lease and non-lease components for all of its leases. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases that qualify, the Company will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. Instead, the Company will continue to recognize the lease payments for those leases in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The most significant effects of adoption relate to (1) the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet for real estate operating leases; and (2) recording of Non-cash finance expenses on its statement of income.

The adoption of the standard resulted in recognition of $7.3 million of lease assets and lease liabilities as of January 1, 2019 on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. During the three months period ended September 30, 2019 and during the nine months period ended September 30, 2019 the Company recorded non-cash finance expenses in the amount of $0.11 million and $0.32 million, respectively.
