EPS Gross Revenue, EPS Net Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations, and Adjusted EBITDA from EPS Operations are non-GAAP financial measures. Tier’s management believes these measures are useful for evaluating our business as we conclude our wind-down operations and our performance against peer companies within the electronic payments industry, and Tier’s management also believes that these measures provide investors with additional transparency with respect to financial measures used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. Tier also uses Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations in its executive compensation program: the Compensation Committee of Tier’s Board of Directors has specified levels of Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations that will be used, together with other criteria, to determine payouts under the Management Incentive Plan for fiscal year 2011. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for the reported results prepared in accordance with US GAAP. Tier’s definitions used to calculate non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those used by other companies.
The information furnished shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or incorporated by reference into any filing thereunder or under the Securities Act of 1933 unless expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
