BASIS OF PRESENTATION | ' |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION | |
These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States of America (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes of Hudson Global, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) filed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. | |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of operating revenues and expenses. These estimates are based on management’s knowledge and judgments. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intra-entity balances and transactions between and among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. | |
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. |

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | |
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU")No. 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period ("ASU 2014-12"). ASU 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting and could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, as it relates to such awards. ASU 2014-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted using either of two methods: (i) prospective to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or (ii) retrospective to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter, with the cumulative effect of applying ASU 2014-12 as an adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements. Accordingly, the standard is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2014-12 on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and disclosures. | |
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”). The standard is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. Accordingly, the standard is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and disclosures. | |
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity” (“ASU 2014-08”). The standard raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. ASU 2014-08 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Accordingly, the standard is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued. The Company is currently reviewing the requirements of ASU 2014-08, which will only impact the Company's financial statements upon the occurrence of a future disposal transaction within its scope. | |
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, “Presentation of Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, an amendment to FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, Income Taxes" ("ASU 2013-11"). ASU 2013-11 clarifies that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. The Company adopted the ASU 2013-11 prospectively on January 1, 2014. As of June 30, 2014, the Company reclassified $772 of its unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. | |
There have been no other new accounting pronouncements not yet effective that have significance, or potential significance, to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. |

Incentive Compensation Plan | |||||||||||||||||
The Company maintains the Hudson Global, Inc. 2009 Incentive Stock and Awards Plan, as amended and restated April 26, 2012 (the “ISAP”), pursuant to which it can issue equity-based compensation incentives to eligible participants. The ISAP permits the granting of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and other types of equity-based awards. The Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) will establish such conditions as it deems appropriate on the granting or vesting of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other types of equity-based awards. The Company grants primarily restricted stock to its employees, although the Company has recently also granted restricted stock units to certain of its employees. A restricted stock unit is equivalent to one share of the Company’s common stock and is payable only in common stock of the Company issued under the ISAP. | |||||||||||||||||
The Compensation Committee administers the ISAP and may designate any of the following as a participant under the ISAP: any officer or other employee of the Company or its affiliates or individuals engaged to become an officer or employee; consultants or other independent contractors who provide services to the Company or its affiliates; and non-employee directors of the Company. As of June 30, 2014, there were 2,608,643 shares of the Company’s common stock available for future issuance under the ISAP. | |||||||||||||||||
A summary of the quantity and vesting conditions for stock-based awards granted to the Company's employees for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was as follows: | |||||||||||||||||
Vesting conditions | Number of Shares of Restricted Stock Granted | ||||||||||||||||
Vest 100% on the third anniversary of the grant date with service conditions only | 5,000 | ||||||||||||||||
The Company also maintains the Director Deferred Share Plan (the “Director Plan”) pursuant to which it can issue restricted stock units to its non-employee directors. A restricted stock unit is equivalent to one share of the Company’s common stock and is payable only in common stock issued under the ISAP upon a director ceasing service as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company. The restricted stock units vest immediately upon grant and are credited to each of the non-employee director's retirement accounts under the Director Plan. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company granted 50,259 restricted stock units to its non-employee directors pursuant to the Director Plan. | |||||||||||||||||
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s stock-based compensation expense related to stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units was as follows: | |||||||||||||||||

INCOME TAXES | |||
Under ASC 270, “Interim Reporting”, and ASC 740-270, “Income Taxes – Intra Period Tax Allocation”, the Company is required to adjust its effective tax rate for each quarter to be consistent with the estimated annual effective tax rate. Jurisdictions with a projected loss for the full year where no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded from the calculation of the estimated annual effective tax rate. Applying the provisions of ASC 270 and ASC 740-270 could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a particular quarter, based upon the mix and timing of actual earnings versus annual projections. | |||
Effective Tax Rate | |||
The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $939 on a pre-tax loss of $7,979, compared to a benefit from income taxes of $39 on pre-tax loss of $14,091 for the same period in 2013. The Company’s effective income tax rate was negative 11.8% and positive 0.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the effective tax rate differed from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35% due to the inability of the Company to recognize tax benefits on losses in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions, variations from the U.S. tax rate in foreign jurisdictions, non-deductible expenses and other miscellaneous taxes. | |||
Uncertain Tax Positions | |||
As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had $2,929 and $3,872, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, which if recognized in the future, would lower the Company’s annual effective income tax rate. Accrued interest and penalties were $775 and $786 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Estimated interest and penalties are classified as part of the provision for income taxes in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and totaled to a provision of $34 and a provision of $58 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. | |||
In many cases, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities. Tax years with NOLs remain open until such losses expire or until the statutes of limitations for those years when the NOLs are used expire. As of June 30, 2014, the Company's open tax years, which remain subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities, were principally as follows: | |||
Year | |||
Earliest tax years which remain subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities: | |||
U.S. Federal | 2010 | ||
Majority of U.S. state and local jurisdictions | 2009 | ||
United Kingdom | 2012 | ||
Australia | 2009 | ||
Majority of other non-U.S. jurisdictions | 2008 | ||
The Company believes that its tax reserves are adequate for all years that remain subject to examination or are currently under examination. | |||
Based on information available as of June 30, 2014, it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease in the range of $500 to $750 over the next 12 months as a result of projected resolutions of global tax examinations and controversies and potential expirations of the applicable statutes of limitations. |

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE | |||||||||||||||||
Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. When the effects are not anti-dilutive, diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding and the impact of all dilutive potential common shares, primarily stock options “in-the-money” and unvested restricted stock. The dilutive impact of stock options, unvested restricted stock, and unvested restricted stock units is determined by applying the “treasury stock” method. Performance-based restricted stock awards are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share only to the extent that the underlying performance conditions: (i) are satisfied prior to the end of the reporting period; or (ii) would be satisfied if the end of the reporting period were the end of the related performance period and the result would be dilutive under the treasury stock method. Stock awards subject to vesting or exercisability based on the achievement of market conditions are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share only when the market conditions are met. | |||||||||||||||||
A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share calculations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows: | |||||||||||||||||

(a) | For the periods in which net losses are presented, the diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding did not differ from the basic weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding because the effects of any potential common stock equivalents (see Note 5 for further details on outstanding stock options, unvested restricted stock units and unvested restricted stock) were anti-dilutive and therefore not included in the calculation of the denominator of dilutive earnings per share. | ||||||||||||||||

Initiated in 2012 and extended during 2013, the Company took steps to accelerate its strategic initiatives with the implementation of the 2012 plan of reorganization ("2012 Plan"). The Company's 2012 Plan was focused on (1) redirecting resources to high-potential strategic businesses, (2) optimizing operations in under-performing sectors and markets to deliver improved performance, re-engineering of the delivery model, and consolidating operations globally, and (3) streamlining back office support areas and business processes, and establishing global centers of excellence, to gain efficiencies of operation. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, restructuring charges associated with these initiatives for the 2012 Plan primarily included employee separation costs for 16 positions in Asia Pacific and lease termination payments for offices in the U.S. and Australia. The actions identified above were completed in the six months ended June 30, 2014. | ||||||||||||||||||||
The Company’s Board previously approved other reorganization plans in 2009, 2008 and 2006 (“Previous Plans”) to streamline the Company’s support operations and the Previous Plans included actions to reduce support functions to match them to the scale of the business, to exit underutilized properties and to eliminate contracts for certain discontinued services. These actions resulted in costs for lease termination payments, employee termination benefits and contract cancellations. Business reorganization expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 by plan were as follows: | ||||||||||||||||||||

Consulting, Employment and Non-compete Agreements | ||||||||
The Company has entered into various consulting, and employment agreements with certain key members of management. These agreements generally (i) are one year in length, (ii) contain restrictive covenants, (iii) under certain circumstances, provide for compensation and subject to providing the Company with a release, severance payments, and (iv) are automatically renewed annually unless either party gives sufficient notice of termination. | ||||||||
Litigation and Complaints | ||||||||
The Company is subject, from time to time, to various claims, lawsuits, contracts disputes and other complaints from, for example, clients, candidates, suppliers, landlords for both leased and subleased properties, former and current employees, and regulators or tax authorities arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company routinely monitors claims such as these, and records provisions for losses when the claim becomes probable and the amount due is estimable. Although the outcome of these claims cannot be determined, the Company believes that the final resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. | ||||||||
For matters that have reached the threshold of probable and estimable, the Company has established reserves for legal, regulatory and other contingent liabilities. The Company’s reserves were $163 and $745 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. | ||||||||

Credit Agreement with RBS Citizens Business Capital | |||||||
The Company and certain of its North American and U.K. subsidiaries ("Loan Parties") have a senior secured revolving credit facility (as amended, the “Revolver Agreement”) with RBS Citizens Business Capital, a division of RBS Asset Finance, Inc. (“RBS”). The Revolver Agreement provides the Company with the ability to borrow up to $40,000, including the issuance of letters of credit. The Company may increase the maximum borrowing amount to $50,000, subject to certain conditions, including lender acceptance. Extensions of credit are based on a percentage of the eligible accounts receivable from the Company's U.K. and North American operations, less required reserves. The maturity date of the Revolver Agreement is August 5, 2014 and will not be renewed with RBS. On August 1, 2014, the Company entered into two credit agreements to replace the Revolver Agreement with credit facilities with Lloyds Bank PLC and Lloyds Bank Commercial Finance Ltd and Siena Lending Group, LLC (See Note 16 - Subsequent Events for further details). Borrowings under the Revolver Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and can be made with an interest rate based on a base rate plus an applicable margin or on the LIBOR rate for the applicable period plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for each rate is based on the Company’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Revolver Agreement) and is determined as follows: | |||||||
Level | Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio | Base Rate Revolving Loans | LIBOR Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit Obligations | ||||
I | Greater than or equal to 1.25:1.0 | 1.25 | % | 2.25 | % | ||
II | Less than 1.25:1.0 but greater than or equal to 1.10:1.0 | 1.5 | % | 2.5 | % | ||
III | Less than 1.10:1.0 | 1.75 | % | 2.75 | % | ||

The Revolver Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants including: | |||||||
-1 | a requirement to maintain a minimum excess availability of $10,000 until such time that, for two consecutive fiscal quarters, the Company’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is at least 1.2x (such occurrence, a “Trigger Event”), at which time the Company’s required minimum excess availability is reduced to $5,000; | ||||||
-2 | upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, maintain a minimum required Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.1x; | ||||||
-3 | maintain a minimum EBITDA (as defined in the Revolver Agreement) for the Company’s North American and U.K. operations of at least $1,000; | ||||||
-4 | a limit on the payment of dividends of not more than $5,000 per year and subject to certain conditions; | ||||||
-5 | restrictions on the ability of the Company to make additional borrowings, acquire, merge or otherwise fundamentally change the ownership of the Company or repurchase the Company’s stock; | ||||||
-6 | a limit on investments, and a limit on acquisitions of not more than $25,000 in cash and $25,000 in non-cash consideration per year, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Revolver Agreement; | ||||||
-7 | a limit on dispositions of assets of not more than $4,000 per year; and | ||||||
-8 | a limit on the aggregate cumulative amount of cash outflows from Loan Parties to affiliates of the Company that are not Loan Parties not to exceed the aggregate cumulative amount of cash inflows from (i) affiliates that are not Loan Parties to Loan Parties, (ii) equity offerings by the Company and (iii) the proceeds of divestiture or asset sales, in the case of each of the following periods, by more than $5,000 for any quarterly compliance testing period beginning after March 1, 2013 or in the aggregate through December 31, 2013 or for any twelve-month period ending as of the end of each fiscal quarter commencing with the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013. | ||||||

Credit Agreement with Westpac Banking Corporation | |||||||
Certain Australian and New Zealand subsidiaries of the Company have a facility agreement with Westpac Banking Corporation and Westpac New Zealand Limited (collectively, “Westpac”). On September 30, 2013, the Company and certain of its Australian and New Zealand subsidiaries entered into a waiver letter to waive compliance with a financial covenant contained in the facility agreement at the September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2013 testing dates, and on December 19, 2013, the Company and certain of its Australian and New Zealand subsidiaries entered into a Deed of Variation to the facility agreement (as amended, the “Facility Agreement”) to amend certain terms and conditions of the Facility Agreement. | |||||||
The Facility Agreement provides three tranches: (1) an invoice discounting facility of up to $14,150 (AUD15,000) (“Tranche A”) for an Australian subsidiary of the Company, the availability under which facility is based on an agreed percentage of eligible accounts receivable; (2) an overdraft facility of up to $3,065 (NZD3,500) (“Tranche B”) for a New Zealand subsidiary of the Company; and (3) a financial guarantee facility of up to $4,717 (AUD5,000) (“Tranche C”) for the Australian subsidiary. | |||||||
The Facility Agreement does not have a stated maturity date and can be terminated by Westpac upon 90 days written notice.

Segment Reporting | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company operates in three reportable segments: the Hudson regional businesses of Hudson Americas, Hudson Asia Pacific, and Hudson Europe. Corporate expenses are reported separately from the three reportable segments and pertain to certain functions, such as executive management, corporate governance, human resources, accounting, administration, tax and treasury, the majority of which are attributable to and have been allocated to the reportable segments. Segment information is presented in accordance with ASC 280, “Segments Reporting.” This standard is based on a management approach that requires segmentation based upon the Company’s internal organization and disclosure of revenue and certain expenses based upon internal accounting methods. The Company’s financial reporting systems present various data for management to run the business, including internal profit and loss statements prepared on a basis not consistent with U.S. GAAP. Accounts receivable, net and long-lived assets are the only significant assets separated by segment for internal reporting purposes. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Assets Held for Sale | ||||
On April 29, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors authorized management to explore opportunities to divest the | ||||
Company's Legal eDiscovery business. The Company's management subsequently engaged Duff & Phelps Securities, LLC to review the Company’s Legal eDiscovery business and financial performance, including its possible sale. On July 29, 2014, the Company's management and Board of Directors approved the plan for divestiture of the Legal eDiscovery business, which is expected to be completed within 12 months. As such, the Company determined the Legal eDiscovery business has met the criteria to be classified as assets held for sale as of July 29, 2014. | ||||
The carrying amounts of the major class of assets and liabilities included as part of the asset held for sale were as follow: | ||||

Credit Facilities | ||||
Receivables Finance Agreement with Lloyds Bank Commercial Finance Limited and Lloyds Bank PLC | ||||
On August 1, 2014, the Company’s U.K. subsidiary Hudson Global Resources Limited (“U.K. Borrower”) entered into a receivables finance agreement for an asset-based lending funding facility (the “Lloyds Agreement”) with Lloyds Bank PLC and Lloyds Bank Commercial Finance Limited (together, “Lloyds”). The Lloyds Agreement provides the U.K. Borrower with the ability to borrow up to $25,236 (£15,000). Extensions of credit are based on a percentage of the eligible accounts receivable less required reserves from the Company's U.K. operations. The initial term is two years with renewal periods every three months thereafter. Borrowings under this facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of the U.K. Borrower. | ||||
The credit facility under the Lloyds Agreement contains two tranches. The first tranche is a revolving facility based on the billed temporary contracting and permanent recruitment activities in the U.K. operation ("Lloyds Tranche A"). The borrowing limit of Lloyds Tranche A is $20,189 (£12,000) based on 83% of eligible billed temporary contracting and permanent recruitment receivables. The second tranche is a revolving facility that is based on the unbilled work-in-progress activities in the U.K. operation ("Lloyds Tranche B"). The borrowing limit of Lloyds Tranche B is $5,047 (£3,000) based on 75% of eligible work-in-progress from temporary contracting and 25% of eligible work-in-progress from the permanent recruitment. For both tranches, borrowings may be made with an interest rate based on a base rate as determined by Lloyds Bank PLC, based on the Bank of England base rate, plus 1.75%. | ||||
The Lloyds Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants including (1) that true credit note dilution may not exceed 5%, measured at audit on a regular basis; (2) debt turn may not exceed 55 days over a three month rolling period; (3) dividends by the U.K. Borrower to the Company are restricted to the value of post tax profits; and (4) at the end of each month, there must be a minimum excess availability of $3,365 (£2,000). | ||||
Loan and Security Agreement with Siena Lending Group, LLC | ||||
On August 1, 2014, the Company and its U.S. subsidiary Hudson Global Resources Management, Inc. (“U.S. Borrower”) entered into a loan and security agreement for a credit facility (the “Siena Agreement”) with Siena Lending Group, LLC. ("Siena"). The Siena Agreement provides the U.S. Borrower with the ability to borrow up to $10,000 (subject to a borrowing base and an availability block), including up to $1,000 for the issuance of letters of credit. In the event of a sale of the Company’s eDiscovery business, the aforementioned borrowing limit will be reduced to $5,000 (subject to a borrowing base and an availability block). The availability block currently is $2,000 but will be decreased to $1,000 in the event of a sale of the Company’s eDiscovery business. The availability block will be eliminated on the later of (a) the date on which the U.S. Borrower notifies Siena that the U.S. Borrower’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is equal to or greater than 1.1x on a trailing six month basis and (b) January 31, 2015. Extensions of credit are based on borrowing base calculated on a percentage of the eligible accounts receivable less required reserves related to the U.S. operations. The term of the Siena Agreement is three years expiring on August 1, 2017. Borrowings may be made with an interest rate based on a base rate (with a floor of 3.25%) plus 1.75%. The interest rate for letters of credit is 4.5% on face amount of each letter of credit issued and outstanding. Borrowings under the Siena Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the U.S. Borrower. | ||||
The Siena Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants including (1) a requirement that the U.S. Borrower maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of equal to or greater than 1.1x after the later of (a) the date on which the U.S. Borrower notifies Siena that the U.S. Borrower’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is equal to or greater than 1.1x on a trailing six month basis and (b) January 31, 2015; (2) a limit on the payment of dividends by the U.S. Borrower; (3) restrictions on the ability of the U.S. Borrower to incur additional debt, acquire, merge or otherwise change the ownership of the U.S. Borrower; (4) restrictions on investments and acquisitions; and (5) restrictions on dispositions of assets. | ||||
2014 Reorganization Plan Approval | ||||
On July 29, 2014, the Board approved a restructuring program ("2014 Plan") that involves various actions for optimizations of existing real estate and global workforce, including integration of support services and systems at the regional and corporate level. These initiatives are expected to result in a restructuring charge of up to $7,000, which is expected to be taken over the next twelve months, depending on the timing of other strategic actions, such as the sale of the Company's eDiscovery business. When the actions are fully completed, we expect to generate an ongoing, annualized return of one and one-half to two times the charge. |

Management also uses this measurement to evaluate working capital requirements. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income and net income prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP or as a measure of the Company's profitability. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
