This presentation contains forward-looking statements regarding our financial prospects, including financial guidance for 3Q-2017, markets, demand for our products, and product development, among other things. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company’s industry and management’s beliefs and assumptions. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties which are more fully described in the documents that we file with the SEC, including our 10-Ks, 10-Qs and 8-Ks, and these statements may differ materially from our actual results. This presentation contains non-GAAP financial measures such as non-GAAP operating Income, margin and EPS, and Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA margins. We believe the presentation of these non-GAAP measures provide management and investors with meaningful information to understand and analyze our financial

  • performance. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures

can be found in the Appendix to the presentation. However, this presentation should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measurements, when available.
