(1) Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP financial measure)
We use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to review and assess
our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income, plus income
taxes, total other (income) expense, depreciation and amortization, and
non-cash charges for share-based compensation.
Adjusted EBITDA is a metric that is used in our industry by the
investment community for comparative and valuation purposes. We disclose
this metric in order to support and facilitate the dialogue with
research analysts and investors.
Note that Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance
under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(GAAP) and should not be considered a substitute for operating income,
which we consider to be the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and when
assessing our operating performance, you should not consider Adjusted
EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for net income or other
consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do,
limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
See our reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income in the table
below:

Return on Capital (ROC) (Non-GAAP financial measure)
We define Return on Capital (ROC) as follows:
ROC = Net operating profit after tax (NOPAT)
Average capital base
NOPAT = Income from operations x (1 - effective tax rate)
Average capital base = Average of (interest bearing debt + stockholders'
equity - excess cash) = Average of (total assets - excess cash -
accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued compensation and
benefits, and income and other taxes payable - deferred revenue - other
non-current liabilities, deferred income taxes, deferred rent and
finance lease obligations for assets under construction); calculated on
a quarterly basis.
We define excess cash as the amount of cash and cash equivalents that
exceeds our operating cash requirements, which is calculated as three
percent of our annualized net revenue for the three months prior to the
period end. We will periodically review the calculation and adjust it to
reflect our projected cash requirements for the upcoming year.
We believe that ROC is an important metric for investors in evaluating
our company's performance. ROC relates after-tax operating profits with
the capital that is placed into service. It is therefore a performance
metric that incorporates both the Statement of Comprehensive Income and
the Balance Sheet. ROC measures how successfully capital is deployed
within a company.
Note that ROC is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and
should not be considered a substitute for return on assets, which we
calculate directly from amounts on the Statement of Comprehensive Income
and the Balance Sheet. ROC has limitations as an analytical tool, and
when assessing our operating performance, you should not consider ROC in
isolation or as a substitute for other financial data prepared in
accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate ROC differently than
we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
See our reconciliation of the calculation of ROC to the calculation of
return on assets in the table below:

Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Non-GAAP financial measure)
We define Adjusted Free Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA plus non-cash
deferred rent, less total capital expenditures (including non-cash
purchases of property and equipment), cash payments for interest, net,
and cash payments for income taxes, net.
We believe that Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a performance metric used by
investors to evaluate the strength and performance of a company's
ongoing business. Note that Adjusted Free Cash Flow is not a measure of
financial performance under GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures reported by other companies.
See our reconciliation of Adjusted Free Cash Flow to Adjusted EBITDA
below, as well as our reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income
provided above.
