Non-GAAP Measures
Any non-GAAP financial measures referenced in this release do
not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are
therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented
by other issuers.
EBITDAS is a non-GAAP financial measure. EBITDAS is defined
as net income (loss) before income taxes, interest expense,
depreciation and amortization and stock-based
compensation. EBITDAS should not be construed as a substitute
for net income (as determined in accordance with GAAP) for the
purpose of analyzing operating performance, as EBITDAS is not
defined by GAAP. However, the Company regards EBITDAS as a
complement to net income and income before taxes.
