Non-GAAP Financial Information
Non-GAAP financial measures provide investors and management with
supplemental measures of operating performance and trends that
facilitate comparisons between periods before and after certain items
that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis. Certain unusual or
non-recurring items that management does not believe affect the
company's basic operations do not meet the GAAP definition of unusual or
non-recurring items. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share
are not, and should not be viewed as a substitute for similar GAAP
items. We define non-GAAP diluted earnings per share amounts as non-GAAP
net income divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares
outstanding. Our definition of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted
earnings per share may differ from similarly named measures used by
others.
