The Company believes these non-GAAP monetary measures are additionally helpful to buyers in permitting for better transparency with respect to supplemental data used commonly by Company administration in monetary and operational decision-making. A limitation of utilizing non-GAAP monetary measures excluding share-based compensation bills and good points (losses) from truthful worth modifications of fairness securities is that share-based compensation bills and good points (losses) from truthful worth modifications of fairness securities have been and will proceed to be important and recurring within the Company’s enterprise.
