Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes the following financial measures defined as "non-GAAP financial measures" by the Securities and Exchange Commission: Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Cash Flow, Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share and constant currency. We believe these measures provide useful information to investors because they provide information about the estimated financial performance of the Company's ongoing business. These measures are used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and evaluation of overall operating performance. With respect to constant currency, we believe such presentation allows investors to measure our financial performance exclusive of foreign currency exchange fluctuations more clearly. Constant currency for revenue is calculated by retranslating current period results at a consistent rate with the prior period results. This approach is based on the pricing currency for each country, which is typically the functional currency. All of these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from similar measures used by other companies. The presentation of this financial information, which is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures, please see the "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation” included in this release.
