(*) To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we use pro forma measures of operating results, net income/(loss) and earnings per share, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain expenses, gains and losses. These pro forma measures are provided to enhance the user’s overall understanding of our current financial performance and our prospects for the future. Specifically, we believe the pro forma results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gains and losses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. In addition, since we have historically reported pro forma results to the investment community, we believe the inclusion of pro forma numbers provides consistency in our financial reporting. Further, these pro forma results are one of the primary indicators management uses for planning and forecasting of future periods. The pro forma information is presented using consistent methodology from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results.
