* Adjusted Financial Measures
To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (”GAAP”), the company uses Non-GAAP financial measures for net income and other line items, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP. These Non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance the user’s overall understanding of the company’s current financial performance and its prospects for the future. The company believes the Non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors. Although the company continues to report GAAP results to investors, it believes the inclusion of Non-GAAP financial measures provides further clarity in its financial reporting. These Non-GAAP financial measures may be different from Non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, and should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP measures.
The Company defines adjusted net income as net income adjusted for certain purchase accounting related charges and restructuring expenses. The purchase accounting related charges are primarily related to the non-cash amortization of acquisition related intangibles and non-cash tax charges related to our utilization of acquired tax net operating loss carry forwards. Restructuring charges typically result as we consolidate acquired companies to achieve operational synergies. The Company cannot at this point in time, without unreasonable efforts, quantify such purchase accounting related charges and restructuring expenses.
A reconciliation of 2005 adjusted net income to GAAP can be found in the Company’s earnings release for the full year 2005 dated April 12, 2006.
The estimates presented in this press release are preliminary and are based on management’s belief and best estimate.
