2022 (referred to as the “non-gaap financial measures”) are financial measures not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“gaap”). the company believes that the non-gaap financial measures are important measures that supplement discussion and analysis of its results of operations and enhance an understanding of its operating performance. the company believes the non-gaap financial measures provide investors and analysts with a useful measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures and ages of related assets among otherwise comparable companies. management uses the non-gaap financial measures as measures to review and assess operating performance of the company’s business, and management does and investors should review both the overall performance (gaap net income) and the operating performance (the non-gaap financial measures) of the company’s business. while management considers the non-gaap financial measures to be important, they should be considered in addition to, but not as substitutes for or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with gaap, such as operating income, net income and cash flows from operations. in addition, the non-gaap financial measures are susceptible to varying calculations and the company’s measurement of the non-gaap financial measures may not be comparable to those of other companies. attached hereto as tables 2, 3 and 4 is information relating to the company’s non-gaap financial measures for the three and six months ended june 30, 2022 and 2021 and the last twelve months ended june 30, 2022. about douglas elliman inc. douglas elliman inc.
