Non-GAAP Financial Measure:

In addition to presenting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, this earnings release also presents adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, share based payments and expenses that management believes will not recur in future periods, including certain acquisition-related expenses (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by deducting operating and other expenses from gross profit and excluding amounts related to interest expense, income tax expense or benefit, depreciation expense, amortization expense, non-cash share-based payments, acquisition-related expenses and any gain or loss on disposal of assets. This non-GAAP financial measure is intended to provide investors with additional insight into our ongoing operating performance. This non-GAAP financial measure should be considered in conjunction with, but not as a substitute for, the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.

A reconciliation of the Company’s GAAP Net (Loss) for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2012 to its non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for the same periods is provided below:
