EPIQ Systems provides certain non-GAAP financial measures as additional information relating to its operating results. The management of EPIQ Systems believes that the presentation of these measures provide additional insight for investors into the operating results and business trends of the Company. The Company also uses these or similar non-GAAP financial measures (i) in its strategic planning for the Company and (ii) in evaluating the results of operations of the Company. The current calculation of non-GAAP adjusted net income is net income plus after-tax amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and after-tax acquisition-related expenses. A reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted net income to GAAP net income is included in a schedule to the press release filed with this Report.
