Use of Non-GAAP Measures
This press release provides financial measures for gross margin, operating income (loss), net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share, which exclude expenses related to amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, re-measurement of contingent consideration fair value, impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, Fair Market Value (FMV) adjustment, tax benefit, changes in foreign currency exchange rates and non-recurring expenses, and are therefore not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance because it reflects our ongoing operational results, operating income (loss), net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management uses non-GAAP measures when evaluating the business internally and, therefore, believes it important to make these non-GAAP adjustments available to investors. A reconciliation of each GAAP to non-GAAP financial measure discussed in this press release is contained in the accompanying financial tables. Constant currency results assume foreign revenues, gross profit and operating income (loss) are translated from foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar, at rates consistent with those in the prior year.
