    When we use the term Adjusted income before taxes (Adjusted IBT), we are referring to
net income minus income taxes and non-recurring other investment income or losses. The
Company recognizes this is a non-GAAP measure; however, we present Adjusted IBT because we
consider it an important measure of our performance.

    When we use the term Adjusted EBITDA, we are referring to net income minus interest
income and other income plus interest expense, income taxes, non-cash stock-based
compensation, depreciation, amortization and other investment income, net. We present
Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our performance
and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested
parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.


    
    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital
expenditures or capital commitments;
 
    
    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working
capital needs;
 
    
    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of an impairment charge that might be taken,
when future results are not achieved as planned, in respect of goodwill resulting from any
premium the Company might pay in the future in connection with potential acquisitions;
 
    
    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or cash requirements necessary to
service interest or principal payments on our debt;
 
    
    Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated
and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not
reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
 
    
    Although stock-based compensation is a non-cash charge, additional stock options might be
granted in the future, which might have a future dilutive effect on earnings and EPS; and
 
    
    Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do,
limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
