Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes forward-looking statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (PSLRA), that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance, and that are subject to many risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include material in quotations from management, including our estimate of our addressable market. Statements that include word such as "expects," "intends," "plan," "believe," "project," "estimate," "may," "should," "anticipate," "will" and similar statements identify many of our forward-looking statements.
Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in our forward-looking statements. For example, market acceptance of our products, potential delays in product development, product offerings by our competitors, and our ability to finance anticipated growth could affect our future results. Other risk factors that could cause actual results to differ significantly from our expectations are described in our annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (available at www.sec.gov). Unless otherwise required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions otherwise prove to be incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from what we project. Any forward-looking statements you read in this news release reflect our views as of the date of this press release with respect to future events, and are subject to these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, financial condition, results of operations, growth strategy and liquidity. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or individuals acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this paragraph.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this release we present certain non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position or cash flow that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). A reconciliation between non-GAAP and GAAP measures can be found in the accompanying tables. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar captions that are used by other companies.
We believe the calculation of non-GAAP net income (loss), calculated without giving effect to acquisition-related amortization charges, stock-based compensation expense and certain other amounts that we do not consider to be related to our ongoing core operating performance, provides a basis to compare our operating results across periods and against other companies in our industry. We also believe that adjusted EBITDA, which we calculate as GAAP net income (loss) less interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash stock compensation expense and certain other financial measures, is an indicator of our cash flows. This measure is commonly used by our lenders to assess our leverage capacity, debt service ability and liquidity. These non-GAAP measures have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure, as required under SEC rules and regulations, in tables attached to this release.
