Basis of Presentation
All per share information is presented on a diluted basis.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
The Company reports its consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). To supplement these consolidated financial results, management believes that a presentation and discussion of certain financial measures on an adjusted basis, which exclude certain non-operating or discrete gains, charges or other items, may provide a more meaningful basis on which investors may compare the Company’s ongoing results of operations between periods. These measures in this release include adjusted earnings per share.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operational, and planning decisions to evaluate the Company’s ongoing performance. Management also uses these adjusted financial measures to discuss its business with investment and other financial institutions, its board of directors and others.
A reconciliation of the non-GAAP guidance measures in this release to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, non-cash purchase accounting adjustments required under GAAP as well as transaction expenses and one-time discrete integration costs, none of which are known at this time. The impact of each of these items may be significant.
