In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this presentation also contains the non-GAAP financial measure, adjusted EBITDA. The Company believes that the inclusion of this non-GAAP financial measure in this presentation helps investors to gain a meaningful understanding of changes in the Company's core operating results, and can also help investors who wish to make comparisons between LoJack and other companies on both a GAAP and a non-GAAP basis. LoJack management uses this non-GAAP measure, in addition to GAAP financial measures, as the basis for measuring our core operating performance and comparing such performance to that of prior periods and to the performance of our competitors. These measures are also used by management to assist with their financial and operating decision making. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this presentation are not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for results of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this presentation may be different from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similar measures used by other companies. Reconciliations of the non- GAAP financial measures used in this presentation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are set forth in the accompanying appendix to this presentation.
