Non-GAAP financial measures
The release includes non-GAAP diluted earnings per share and other non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income. These non-GAAP measures exclude the following items:
 
 
·

·  
Gain on sales of subsidiaries and Appbuilder;
 
·

The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to BluePhoenix’s GAAP results and is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. BluePhoenix’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance by excluding certain charges and gains that may not be indicative of BluePhoenix’s core business operating results. BluePhoenix believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing BluePhoenix’s performance. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate comparisons to BluePhoenix’s historical performance. BluePhoenix includes these non-GAAP financial measures because management believes they are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. Non-GAAP measures are reconciled to comparable GAAP measures in the table entitled “Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP.”
