Annual Financial Results
EBITDA is net income before provision for income taxes, interest
expense, and depreciation and amortization.  EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more
meaningful than, income before income taxes, cash flow from operating activities, or other traditional indicators of operating performance.  Rather, EBITDA is presented because it is a
widely accepted supplemental financial measure that we believe provides relevant and useful information.  Our calculation of EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled
measure reported by other companies, since all companies do not calculate this non-GAAP measure in the same manner.
