Tom Wroe, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are very pleased with our third quarter results. The environment is a lot more positive than it was one year ago. However, we continue to remain cautious as the global economy stabilizes. We believe the worst is behind us but we will continue to monitor third party key indicators and changes in the end markets we serve." Mr. Wroe added, "The growth in our business is coming from end market growth, emerging market opportunities and application content growth with recent wins in all of these categories. In addition we're seeing growth from inventory replenishment."
Jeff Cote, Chief Financial Officer, said "The cost actions that we previously implemented and the recent recovery in net revenue we are experiencing are driving solid margins in our business. Even though net revenue declined by 16.2% from the third quarter of 2008, we experienced an increase of 10.7% in Adjusted EBITDA(1)." Mr. Cote added, "We are also actively managing our balance sheet, and this resulted in the growth of cash balances to $198.2 million and a reduction in our cash conversion cycle to 55.6 days."

Non-GAAP Measures
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA, and Cash Net Income are non-GAAP financial measures. Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA is a required measure in our bank reporting. We define EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA by adjusting EBITDA to exclude non-cash expenses, one-time charges associated with becoming a stand-alone company and one time charges associated with becoming an SEC registrant, expenses incurred in connection with acquisitions, and other significant nonrecurring items. We further adjust Adjusted EBITDA for pro-forma synergies and pro-forma adjustments for discontinued operations. We calculate Cash Net Income by adjusting GAAP Net Income/(Loss) to exclude non-cash expenses, one time charges associated with becoming a stand-alone company and one time charges associated with becoming an SEC registrant, expenses incurred in connection with acquisitions, other significant non-recurring items, non-cash interest and taxes and depreciation and amortization related to asset step-up and intangible assets. We believe Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA and Cash Net Income provides investors with helpful information with respect to our operations. This also provides a comparative metric to management and investors that is consistent across companies with different capital structures, depreciation policies and tax structures. See the tables below which reconcile Net (Loss)/Income to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA, and Cash Net Income.
