and Regulation G

The presentation today may include the display of some company data

that do not directly conform to generally acceptable accounting principles, or GAAP.

Management believes that the presentation of some non-GAAP data provides investors with additional insight into the ongoing

operations of the business.

These measures should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance.

Furthermore, these measures may not be consistent with similar measures provided
