Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
The Company has presented certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that either exclude or include amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. Reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure can be found in the accompanying tables to this release. These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting, differ from GAAP measures with the same captions and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar captions that are used by other companies. As such, these non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
 
The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures to analyze its operating performance and future prospects, develop internal budgets and financial goals, and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of its operations that, when viewed with its GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business.

(1)
GAAP net basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are materially different between fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 since under GAAP, preferred shares do not participate in losses and therefore the number of shares used in computing net diluted earnings (loss) per share is materially different between the fiscal years. In addition, under GAAP the conversion of preferred to common stock as of the IPO date reduces the net earnings available for distribution to common shareholders and reduces the number  of shares used in computing net basic earnings (loss) per share of common stock.
