The overall impact of these transactions described above, which are collectively defined as the
“Incentive Contribution,” was an increase in income before income taxes of approximately $1.0
million in each of 2014 and 2013 (or an increase in diluted earnings per common share of
approximately $0.02 in each year) and a reduction in income before income taxes of approximately
$3.0 million in 2012 (or a reduction to diluted earnings per share of approximately $0.04).
The non-GAAP results shown above, which exclude the items impacting comparability, should not be
construed as a substitute for or a better indicator of the Company’s performance than the Company’s
GAAP results. Management believes presenting the financial information without these items is important
for purposes of comparison to prior year results and analyzing each segment’s operating results. In
addition, management uses these non-GAAP measures to allocate resources, and analyze trends and
underlying operating performance. Annual cash bonuses, and certain long-term incentive programs for
various levels of management, were based on financial measures that excluded the Incentive
Contribution. See “Results of Operations” for further analysis regarding the impact of these items.
In addition, we present free cash flow in this report, which is a non-GAAP measure. We define free cash
flow as net cash provided by operating activities (from the consolidated statements of cash flows) less the
purchases of property and equipment. We view free cash flow as an important measure because it is one
factor that management uses in determining the amount of cash available for discretionary investment.
Free cash flow is not a term defined by GAAP, and as a result, our measure of free cash flow might not be
comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Free cash flow should not be construed
as a substitute for or a better indicator of our performance than the Company’s GAAP measures. See
“Liquidity and Capital Resources” for a reconciliation of free cash flow to the most directly comparable
GAAP measure.
The presentation of the non-GAAP measures in this report is made alongside the most directly
comparable GAAP measures.
