This release includes the following financial measures defined as "Non-GAAP financial measures" by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"): Net Revenue, Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expense, Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP EBITDA Margin, Non-GAAP Operating Income, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Fully Diluted EPS. Net revenue is calculated as total revenue less transportation costs. Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expense is defined as selling, general and administrative expense excluding commission expense, changes in contingent consideration, acquisition-related transaction costs and stock compensation expense. Non-GAAP EBITDA and Non-GAAP EBITDA Margin are defined as net income and operating margin, respectively, excluding the effects of changes in contingent consideration, depreciation, amortization, acquisition-related transaction costs, stock compensation expense, cash and noncash interest expense, other expense and income taxes. Non-GAAP operating income is defined as operating income excluding changes in contingent consideration, amortization, acquisition-related transaction costs, and stock compensation expense. Non-GAAP net income is defined as net income excluding changes in contingent consideration, amortization, acquisition-related transaction costs, stock compensation expense and noncash interest expense, net of their related tax impact. Non-GAAP Fully Diluted EPS is defined as fully diluted EPS excluding changes in contingent consideration, amortization, acquisition-related transaction costs, noncash interest expense and stock compensation expense, net of their related tax impact. We believe such measures provide useful information to investors because they provide information about the financial performance of the Company''s ongoing business.
Net revenue, Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expense, Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP EBITDA Margin, Non-GAAP Operating Income, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Fully Diluted EPS are used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and evaluation of overall operating performance.
