Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding results, the company discloses various non-GAAP financial measures in the quarterly earnings press release and other public disclosures. The following GAAP financial measures have been presented on an as adjusted basis: cost of sales, gross profit, SG&A expenses, income from operations, other income (expense), provision for income taxes, net income, effective tax rate, and diluted earnings per share. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures excludes the impact of certain amounts as further identified below that the company believes are not indicative of its core ongoing operational performance. A reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to its most comparable GAAP financial measure is included below. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace GAAP financial measures.
These non-GAAP financial measures are used internally to evaluate and manage the company's operations because the company believes they provide useful supplemental information regarding the company's on-going economic performance. The company has chosen to provide this information to investors to enable them to perform more meaningful comparisons of operating results and as a means to emphasize the results of on-going operations.
The following tables reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures included in this release:
