Management believes that these non-GAAP measures can provide more meaningful reflection of underlying trends of the business because it provides a comparison of historical information that excludes certain items that impact the overall comparability due to the fact that these items do not represent results from the fundamental operations of the Company. Further, the timeframe used is to provide historical perspective to investors.
