Section 2 – Financial Information
Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On October 26, 2006, the Company issued a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Company provides in the press release certain non-GAAP financial measures, including: (1) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and (2) EBITDA as adjusted for special items. “GAAP” refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The press release contains a reconciliation table of the items above to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. The Company believes the non-GAAP measure in item 1 above is useful to investors because it is a basis upon which the Company assesses its financial performance, it provides useful information regarding the Company’s ability to service its debt and it is a commonly used financial analysis tool for measuring and comparing companies in several areas of liquidity, operating performance and leverage. The Company believes the non-GAAP measure in item 2 is useful to investors when comparing prior periods because it believes the excluded items are nonrecurring. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in evaluating the Company’s operating performance.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and non-GAAP financial measures as reported by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled items reported by other companies or the definition used in any of our debt agreements.
