We think such items provide useful information to investors regarding the Company’s operational performance. This presentation also may contain statements, estimates, or projections that constitute “forward‐looking statements” as defined under U.S. federal securities laws. Forward‐looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s historical experience and our present expectations or projections. We disclaim any obligation to update any information in this presentation to reflect any changes or developments after the date on the cover page. Certain additional disclosures regarding our use of these ‘non‐GAAP’ items and forward‐looking statements are set forth in our fourth‐quarter earnings press release dated May 4, 2015, and in our SEC filings, including our most recent quarterly reports and our annual reports for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013, and 2014.
