Notes Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company records its results of operations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). In addition, the Company is providing certain supplemental non-GAAP information which the Company believes to be an important indicator of its financial performance. The Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures:
-- Adjusted EBITDA - operating income excluding the effects of depreciation
and amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation expense and medical
malpractice loss reserves (other than specific case reserves);
-- Adjusted net income - net income excluding the effects of non-cash
stock-based compensation, net of tax, and medical malpractice loss
reserves (other than specific case reserves), net of tax; and
-- Adjusted diluted earnings per share - adjusted net income divided by
weighted average diluted shares outstanding.
The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that they are a useful indicator of its performance and on-going operations. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in part because such measures are frequently used by securities analysts to measure a company's operating performance without regard to certain items, such as income tax expense, interest expense and depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company. The Company's management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in order to review and assess its operating performance and its management team in connection with certain incentive programs and the preparation of its financial projections.
Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are not measurements of the Company's financial performance under GAAP and may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures reported by other companies. These measures should not be considered as an alternative to operating income, net income, earnings per share or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA consists of operating income excluding the effects of
depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation expense
(1) and medical malpractice loss reserves (other than specific case
reserves). See "Notes Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures"
and "Supplemental Information and Non-GAAP Reconciliations" for more
information related to adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted net income consists of net income excluding the effects of
non-cash stock-based compensation, net of tax, and medical malpractice
(2) loss reserves (other than specific case reserves), net of tax. See "Notes
Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Supplemental
Information and Non-GAAP Reconciliations" for more information related to
adjusted net income.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share consists of adjusted net income
divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. See "Notes
(3) Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Supplemental
Information and Non-GAAP Reconciliations" for more information related to
adjusted diluted earnings per share.
