States. It excludes items, such as restructuring and
amortization, that may have a material effect on the Companys
expenses and earnings per share calculated in accordance with
GAAP. Management monitors these items to ensure that expenses are
in line with expectations and that our GAAP results are correctly
stated but does not use them to measure the ongoing operating
performance of the Company. The non-GAAP information we provide
may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other
companies.
