comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with United States
generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Pursuant to the requirements
of Regulation G, the Company has provided quantitative reconciliations within
the press release of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measures.
