Non-GAAP Adjusted Earnings per Share:
In connection with the release of financial results the Company reported the non-GAAP financial metric of adjusted earnings per share (“Adjusted EPS”) as follows:
For the three months ended
-
Basic Adjusted EPS was
$0.22 compared to$0.28 -
Diluted Adjusted EPS was
$0.20 compared to$0.26
To calculate Adjusted EPS, the Company adds back non-reoccurring expenses specific to acquisitions, non-cash stock compensation expense associated with pre-IPO grants, and other expenses not in the ordinary course of business. With respect to the elimination of any non-cash stock compensation expense, the Company computes an adjusted tax expense or benefit which accounts for the elimination of any periodic windfall or shortfall tax effects resulting from the difference between grant date fair value and vest date value. With respect to all other eliminations, the Company applies its average marginal statutory tax rate, currently 25.6%, to derive the tax adjustment associated with the elimination of these expenses. A reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EPS to GAAP EPS, both basic and diluted, is included with this press release for reference.
