Free cash flow is not prepared in accordance with financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. Because of these limitations, non-GAAP financial measures may be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. The Company’s definition of Free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies and may, therefore, have limitations as a comparative analytical tool.
The information furnished in this Item 7.01 is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as may be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing. The furnishing of this report is not intended to constitute a determination by the Company that the information is material or that dissemination of the information is required by Regulation FD.
