Cash Flow Reconciliation (c) 2009 InterDigital, Inc. All rights reserved. 17 Free cash flow is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that InterDigital believes is helpful in evaluating the company's ability to invest in its business, make strategic acquisitions and fund share repurchases, among other things. A limitation of the utility of free cash flow as a measure of financial performance is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the company's cash balance for the period. InterDigital's computation of free cash flow may not be comparable to free cash flow reported 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 GAAP.

The company has provided these pro forma figures here and elsewhere in this presentation. Management regards the repositioning charge and related tax benefit as a non-recurring item not indicative of operating results for the period and believes that investors might share this viewpoint.
