USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to Focus Media’s consolidated financial results under GAAP, the Company also provides Non-GAAP financial measures, including Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP net income and Non-GAAP earnings per fully diluted ADS, all excluding non-cash share-based compensation, acquired intangible asset amortization expense resulting from acquisitions, impairment charges of goodwill, acquired intangible assets and fixed assets. The Company believes that these Non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with another method for assessing Focus Media’s operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of its ongoing operations. Readers are cautioned not to view Non-GAAP results on a stand-alone basis or as a substitute for results under GAAP, or as being comparable to results reported or forecasted by other companies, and should refer to the reconciliation of GAAP results with Non-GAAP results in the attached financial information. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these Non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the performance of Focus Media and when planning and forecasting future periods. The Company computes its Non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter. The accompanying tables have more details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to Non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliation between these financial measures.
