Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific numerical values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. It confirms that the attached press release contains both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, and 2010.
Material Changes and Non-GAAP Adjustments
The company presented non-GAAP net income and diluted net income per share that excluded equity-based compensation expenses for the respective periods.
