Safe Harbor Statement
The matters discussed herein, particularly information regarding future revenue, earnings, business plans and goals, consist of forward-looking information within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are subject to and involve risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking information. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. These statements are based on assumptions and estimates that management believes are reasonable based on currently available information; however, management's assumptions and the Company's future performance are both subject to a wide range of business risks and uncertainties, and there is no assurance that these goals and projections can or will be met. Any number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward- looking statements. All forward-looking information contained herein is subject to the risk factors and uncertainties described in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which risk factors and uncertainties are incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein.
Herein contains certain non-GAAP measures including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA represents earnings (or losses) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA further eliminates the effect of stock-based compensation expense, merger integration related expenses, loss on a sales transaction to a former eCOST.com customer, goodwill impairment charge and relocation costs. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used by management, analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating our financial and operating performance, including comparisons of other companies in our industry, as the calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the effect of financing, income taxes, the accounting effects of capital spending, stock-based compensation, merger related expenses and certain other expenses, which items may vary from different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. The non-GAAP measures are not intended to be considered in isolation of, as a substitute for or superior to our GAAP financial information. We have included reconciliations later in this presentation of the non-GAAP measures to the nearest GAAP measure.
