Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Non-GAAP financial measures, as well as adjusted EBITDA, consist of GAAP financial measures adjusted to include the results

• f discontinued operations, and to exclude acquisition related expenses, share-based compensation expenses, amortization of

acquired intangible assets and non-recurring tax expenses, as well as certain accounting entries that are required under the business combination accounting rules. The purpose of such adjustments is to give an indication of our performance exclusive

• f non-cash charges and other items that are considered by management to be outside of our core operating results. These

non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Furthermore, the non-GAAP measures are regularly used internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions, and we believe that they are useful to investors as a consistent and comparable measure of the

• ngoing performance of our business. However, our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation
• r as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures, and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial

statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. A reconciliation between results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided in the Appendix of this presentation.
