Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On August 6, 2014, the Company announced its results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. A copy of the Company's press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The non-GAAP financial measures included in the press release for certain periods are EBITDA and EBITDA margin from continuing operations. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the press release.
The non-GAAP financial information should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management, however, believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when used in conjunction with the results presented in accordance with GAAP, may provide a more complete understanding of the Company's results and may facilitate a fuller analysis of the Company's results, particularly in evaluating performance from one period to another. Management has chosen to provide this supplemental information to investors, analysts, and other interested parties to enable them to perform additional analysis of results and to illustrate the results giving effect to the non-GAAP adjustments shown in the reconciliations. Management strongly encourages investors to review the Company's consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and cautions investors that the non-GAAP measures used by the Company may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures.
