NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release are supplemental measures of our performance that we believe will help investors understand our operating results and assess our future prospects. When read in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP results, these non-GAAP financial measures provide a baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses and can be used by management as one basis for making financial, operational, and planning decisions. For each financial measure we have excluded the impact of the tariff refunds due to their unusual nature which is not reflective of our ongoing operating results. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.
Management recognizes that these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations, including that they may be calculated differently by other companies or may be used under different circumstances or for different purposes. In order to compensate for the discussed limitations, management does not consider these measures in isolation from or as alternatives to the comparable financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The detailed reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure are provided below, and no single financial measure should be relied on to evaluate our business.
