This schedule reconciles the Company's GAAP operating income and GAAP net income to its non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income.

The Company uses these non-GAAP measures when evaluating its financial results as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes. These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company's GAAP results.
