To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States of America (or GAAP), Advent uses non-GAAP measures of continuing
operations' gross margin, operating income, net income and net income per
share, which are adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses and income we
believe appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our past
financial performance and also our prospects for the future. These
adjustments to our current period GAAP results are made with the intent of
providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of
Advent's underlying operational results and trends and our marketplace
performance. In addition, these non-GAAP results are among the information
management uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of future
periods. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in
accordance with GAAP.
