Use of Non-GAAP Measures
The Company believes that non-GAAP revenue is a useful measure of operating performance because it excludes items that the Company does not consider indicative of its core performance. Specifically, non-GAAP revenue is calculated by adding the impact of purchase accounting adjustments to GAAP revenue. However, this non-GAAP measure should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, revenue prepared in accordance with GAAP.The Company uses non-GAAP to provide consistency and comparability with the Company’s past GAAP reported financial performance; to facilitate a comparison of its results with those of other companies; and in communications with its board of directors concerning its financial performance.
