Use of Non GAAP Financial Information To supplement the condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company provides non-gaap measures of net income, diluted net income per share, gross margin, gross margin as a percentage of revenue, operating margin, operating expenses, and operating income which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain expenses, gains and losses. These non-gaap financial measures are provided to enhance the user's overall understanding of the Company s current financial performance and our prospects for the future. Specifically, the Company believes non-gaap results provide useful information to both management and investors as these non-gaap results exclude certain expenses, gains and losses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results and because they are consistent with the financial models and estimates published by financial analysts who follow the Company. The Company also presents free cash flow, which is a non-gaap measure calculated as the sum of net cash provided by operating activities, less acquisition of property, equipment and leasehold improvements. Free cash flow does not reflect all of the Company's expenses and non-cash items and does not reflect the Company's uses of cash in financing and investment activities. These non-gaap results are some of the primary measurements management uses to assess the Company s performance, allocate resources and plan for future periods. Reported non-gaap results should only be considered as supplemental to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and not considered as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. These non-gaap measures may differ from the non-gaap measures reported by other companies in our industry. 3
