itled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our operating performance and should not be considered substitutes for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We include these non-GAAP financial measures in this prospectus because they are important measures upon which our management assesses our operating performance and the operating leverage in our business. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they provide useful information about our financial performance, consistency and comparability with past

financial performance and may assist in comparisons with other companies in our industry, some of which use similar non-GAAP financial information to supplement their GAAP results.

Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in their usefulness to investors and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for financial information presented under GAAP.

• Amortization of intangible assets. We recognize amortization expense related to intangible assets acquired in connection with certain business combinations. Amortization of acquired intangible assets is a non-cash expense that is significantly affected by the timing and size of acquisitions, and the inherent subjective nature of purchase price allocations. The use of intangible assets has contributed to our revenue during the periods presented, and we expect such use will contribute to revenue in future periods.

• Amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs. In connection with the issuance of our outstanding debt
