Amortization expense. The Company incurs expenses for the
amortization of intangible assets acquired in acquisitions. The Company
excludes these items because these expenses are not reflective of
ongoing operating results in the period incurred. These amounts arise
from the Company’s prior acquisitions and have no direct correlation to
the operation of the Company’s core business.
Non-cash interest expense on convertible notes. The Company
incurs non-cash interest expense related to its convertible notes. The
Company excludes non-cash interest expense related to its convertible
notes to provide more accurate comparisons of the Company’s results with
other peer companies and to more accurately reflect the Company’s
ongoing operations.
Income tax adjustments. For purposes of internal forecasting,
planning and analyzing future periods that assume net income from
operations, the Company estimates a fixed, long-term projected tax rate
of approximately 35 percent for both 2017 and 2016, which consists of
estimated U.S. federal and state tax rates, and excludes tax rates
associated with certain items such as withholding tax, tax credits,
deferred tax asset valuation allowance and the release of any deferred
tax asset valuation allowance. Accordingly, the Company has applied
these tax rates to its non-GAAP financial results for all periods in the
relevant years to assist the Company’s planning for future periods. The
Company has provided below a reconciliation of its GAAP provision for
income taxes and GAAP effective tax rate to the assumed non-GAAP
provision for income taxes and non-GAAP effective tax rate.
On occasion in the future, there may be other items, such as impairments
or significant gains or losses from contingencies, that the Company may
exclude in deriving its non-GAAP financial measures if it believes that
doing so is consistent with the goal of providing useful information to
investors and management.

For purposes of internal forecasting, planning and analyzing future
periods that assume net income from operations, the Company
estimates a fixed, long-term projected tax rate of approximately 35
percent for both 2017 and 2016, which consists of estimated U.S.
federal and state tax rates, and excludes tax rates associated with
certain items such as withholding tax, tax credits, deferred tax
asset valuation allowance and the release of any deferred tax asset
valuation allowance. Accordingly, the Company has applied these tax
rates to its non-GAAP financial results for all periods in the
relevant year to assist the Company’s planning for future periods.

EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that management uses to evaluate the
cash generating capacity of the company. The most directly
comparable GAAP measure is net income. EBITDA is net income adjusted
for net interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and
amortization. It should not be considered as an alternative to net
income computed under GAAP.
|
(2)
|
Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of other non-GAAP adjustments
indicated in the above tables.
