to operating (loss), and non-gaap net income and non-gaap earnings per share - basic and diluted, which have been reconciled to net (loss) income and (loss) earnings per share - basic and diluted, in each case as reported based on generally accepted accounting principles in the united states (“u.s. gaap”). these non-gaap financial measures exclude certain items which management believes are not reflective of the ongoing operating performance of the business. we believe this information is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of our ongoing operations. additionally, these measures are used by management in our ongoing planning and annual budgeting processes. we believe the presentation of non-gaap operating income, non-gaap net income and non-gaap earnings per share - basic and diluted, when combined with the u.s. gaap presentation of operating (loss), net (loss) income and (loss) earnings per share - basic and diluted, is beneficial to the overall understanding of ongoing operating performance of the company. these non-gaap financial measures are not prepared in accordance with, or an alternative for, u.s. gaap and therefore should not be considered in isolation or as a substitution for analysis of our results as reported under u.s. gaap. additionally, our calculation of non-gaap operating income, non-gaap net income and non-gaap earnings per share - basic and diluted, may not be comparable to similar measures calculated by other companies. condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited) (in thousands) march 31, december 31,
