Non-GAAP Financial Measures: The press release contains non-GAAP financial measures as such term is defined in Regulation G under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. While the Company believes these financial measures are useful in evaluating the Company’s performance, this information should be considered to be supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for or superior to the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
