Non-GAAP Presentation
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures that are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. This press release should be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 8-K earnings release filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the fourth fiscal quarter and full fiscal year ended July 31, 2011.
In addition, these non-GAAP measures: (i) are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles; and (ii) have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with EasyLink's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. As such, these measures should only be used to evaluate EasyLink's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.
EasyLink believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures, when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful supplemental information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations because they exclude certain non-cash charges or items that we do not believe are reflective of our ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of our business.
EasyLink believes that these non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate the comparison by management and investors of results
between periods and among our peer companies. However, our peer companies may calculate similar non-GAAP financial measures differently than EasyLink, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
