⁽¹⁾In calculating "Non-GAAP adjusted operating income" and "Non-GAAP adjusted net income available to common stockholders", the Company excludes (i) certain non-cash charges, including amortization expense and stock-based compensation expense, (ii) non-recurring charges and income, and (iii) certain other charges and income that have a significant positive or negative impact on results yet do not occur on a consistent or regular basis in its business.  In determining whether a particular item meets one of these criteria, management considers facts and circumstances that it believes are relevant.  Management believes that excluding such charges and income from operating income and net income or loss allows investors and management to evaluate and compare the Company's operating results from continuing operations from period to period in a meaningful and consistent manner.  Due to the frequency of their occurrence in its business, the Company does not adjust operating income or net income or loss for the costs associated with litigation, including payments made or received through settlements.  It should be noted that "Non-GAAP adjusted operating income" and "Non-GAAP adjusted net income available to common stockholders" are not standard financial measurements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income and net income or loss or cash flow from operating activities, as a measure of liquidity or as an indicator of operating performance or any measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, all companies do not calculate non-GAAP financial measures in the same manner and, accordingly, "Non-GAAP adjusted operating income" and "Non-GAAP adjusted net income available to common stockholders" presented in this press release may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

Comments:

In calculating "Non-GAAP adjusted operating income (loss)" in the schedule presented above, the Company excludes from "Operating income (loss)" (i) certain non-cash charges, including amortization expense and stock-based compensation expense, (ii) non-recurring charges and income, and (iii) certain other charges and income that have a significant positive or negative impact on results yet do not occur on a consistent or regular basis in its business.  In determining whether a particular item meets one of these criteria, management considers facts and circumstances that it believes are relevant.  Management believes that excluding such charges and income from "Operating income (loss)" allows investors and management to evaluate and compare the Company's operating results from continuing operations from period to period in a meaningful and consistent manner.  Due to the frequency of their occurrence in its business, the Company does not adjust "Operating income (loss)" for the costs associated with litigation, including payments made or received through settlements.  It should be noted that "Non-GAAP adjusted operating income (loss)" is not a standard financial measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and should not be considered as an alternative to "Operating income (loss)" as an indicator of operating performance or any measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, all companies do not calculate non-GAAP financial measures in the same manner and, accordingly, "Non-GAAP adjusted operating income (loss)" presented in this schedule may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

Reference should also be made to the Company's financial results contained in our earnings press release respective to the periods presented in this schedule, which include a more detailed discussion of the adjustments to the GAAP operating results presented above.
