Earnings before interest, taxes and amortization of intangibles ("EBITA") is a non-GAAP financial measure within the meaning of applicable SEC rules. Management uses EBITA as an additional operating performance measure, which excludes acquisition related amortization expense, because it believes that EBITA is a useful measure to evaluate the performance of our businesses. EBITA is not, nor should not be used as a substitute for Operating Income, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. |
