The press releases and the slides include information regarding operating income which include adjustments to amounts calculated under generally accepted accounting principles. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP, and may be different from similar measures used by other companies. The operating income and cash flow information presented in the slides are provided as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP and are provided to give investors a more complete understanding of the underlying operational results and trends in LodgeNet's performance. Management believes this information is useful in analyzing historical results because it shows investors and management the profitability of operations apart from the major non-cash items. In addition, management uses the information as a basis for planning and forecasting future periods. A reconciliation of this information to the most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP is provided in the slides.
