1Excluding stock–based compensation expense and the non–cash provision for income taxes

The Company believes that presenting the non–GAAP information contained in the financial tables and in this press release assists investors and others in gaining a better understanding of the Company´s core operating results and future prospects, expected growth rates or forecasted guidance, particularly as related to stock–based compensation expense and the non–cash provision for income taxes. Management uses this non–GAAP information, in addition to the GAAP information, as the basis for measuring the Company´s core operating performance and comparing such performance to that of prior periods and to the performance of its competitors. Such measures are also used by management in its financial and operating decision–making. Non–GAAP information is not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for the Company´s results of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP results with non–GAAP results may also be found in the attached financial tables.
