Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company provides certain Non-GAAP measures of financial performance. These Non-GAAP measures include Non-GAAP adjusted income.

The Company’s reference to these Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared under current accounting standards, but are not a substitute for, nor superior to, GAAP results. These Non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of our current financial performance and to provide further information for comparative purposes.

Specifically, the Company believes the Non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by isolating certain expenses, gains and losses that may not be indicative of the Company’s core operating results and business outlook. In addition, the Company believes Non-GAAP measures enhance the comparability of results against prior periods. Reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure of all Non-GAAP measures included in this press release is as follows:
