consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the united states (gaap). adjusted ebitda, adjusted gross profit, adjusted segment profit, and adjusted operating income together with related measures thereof, and non-gaap eps, are considered “non-gaap financial measures” under the rules and regulations of the securities and exchange commission. the presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with gaap. the company uses these non-gaap financial measures for financial and operational decision-making, as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons, as well as comparisons to our competitors' operating results. management believes that these non-gaap financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our recurring business operating results, such as amortization, depreciation and discrete cash charges that are infrequent in nature. we believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-gaap financial measures in assessing and understanding our results and performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. we believe these non-gaap financial measures are useful to investors both because (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and (2) they are used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze our business. the reconciliations of gaap net income (loss) to adjusted operating income and adjusted ebitda, and gaap net income (loss) to non-gaap earnings per share are included elsewhere in this release. forward-looking statementsthis press release contains
