     All statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements, including those regarding: our guidance on future financial results and other projections or measures of our future performance; and the amount and timing of the benefits expected from acquisitions, from new products or services and from other potential sources of additional revenue. These statements speak only as of the date of this Current Report and are based on our current plans and expectations, and they involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual future events or results to be different from those described in or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include those relating to: market acceptance of our products and services; relationships with customers or strategic partners; difficulties in integrating acquired businesses; and changes in economic, political or regulatory conditions or other trends affecting the healthcare, Internet, and information technology industries. Further information about these matters can be found in our other Securities and Exchange Commission filings. We expressly disclaim any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

     Exhibit 99.1 furnished with this Current Report on Form 8-K includes financial measures in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, as well as non-GAAP financial measures, each of which is expected to be discussed on the Analyst and Investor Conference Call referred to in Exhibit 99.1. The non-GAAP financial measures include: our earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items (which we refer to as “Adjusted EBITDA”); and related per share amounts. Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report includes a reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP financial measures to historical GAAP financial measures. Exhibit 99.3 to this Current Report includes a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to forward-looking GAAP financial measures. We believe that the above non-GAAP measures, and changes in those measures, are meaningful indicators of our company’s performance and provide additional information that our management finds useful in evaluating such performance and in planning for future periods. Accordingly, we believe that such additional information may be useful to investors. The non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplemental to, and not as an alternative for, the GAAP financial measures.
