Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

As discussed above, in addition to the company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, which are presented according to GAAP, the company provides certain non-GAAP financial information that excludes stock-based compensation expense, accreting interest expense on convertible notes, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, certain legal and litigation expenses, contingent consideration adjustment, legal settlement expense, and other adjustments. The company uses these non-GAAP measures in its own financial and operational decision-making processes. Further, the company believes that these non-GAAP measures offer an important analytical tool to help investors understand the company’s core operating results and trends and facilitate comparability with the operating results of other companies that provide similar non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures have certain limitations as analytical tools and are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial information. For example, stock-based compensation is an important component of the company’s compensation mix and will continue to result in significant expenses in the company’s GAAP results for the foreseeable future, but it is not reflected in our non-GAAP measures. Also, other companies, including other companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
