Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this release, the Company's adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and are not intended to be used in lieu of GAAP presentations of results of operations. These measures are presented because management believes they provide additional information to investors with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities. "Adjusted earnings" and "Adjusted EBITDA" as well as "Adjusted Earnings per Share (EPS)" are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be viewed as alternatives to GAAP measures of performance. Management believes the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for these measures are net income and diluted net income per share, respectively, and has provided a reconciliation of GAAP net income to adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA at the end of this release.
The Company includes the impact of changes in foreign currency in its reporting of GAAP revenue. In addition, the Company provides revenue growth and growth rates in constant currency to exclude the impact of foreign currency translation, in order to facilitate an evaluation of our current revenue performance and a comparison to our past revenue performance. To calculate historical revenue and revenue growth rates in constant currency, we convert actual net sales from local currency to U.S. dollars using constant foreign currency exchange rates in the current and prior period. Revenue growth rates that exclude the impact of sales from changes in foreign currency exchange rates are not in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from or as a replacement for GAAP reporting.
