Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific values for revenue, net income, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. It references a press release (Exhibit 99.1) for the actual GAAP and non-GAAP figures.
The document details specific adjustments made to calculate non-GAAP net income and diluted EPS to exclude certain items:
- Quarter Ended Dec 31, 2010: Excluded equity-based compensation expense of $0.5 million.
- Quarter Ended Dec 31, 2009: Excluded equity-based compensation expense of $0.7 million, a pre-tax capital gain of $1.8 million from the divestment of GloNav Inc., and related tax expense of $0.6 million.
- Year Ended Dec 31, 2010: Excluded equity-based compensation expense of $2.1 million.
- Year Ended Dec 31, 2009: Excluded equity-based compensation expenses of $2.9 million, a pre-tax capital gain of $3.7 million from the GloNav divestment, and related tax expense of $1.1 million.
Material Changes and Unusual Items
The filing highlights the divestment of the Company's equity interest in GloNav Inc. as a significant unusual item affecting the 2009 results. The Company states that excluding equity-based compensation and the GloNav divestment gains provides a more meaningful analysis of core operating results and facilitates comparison of quarterly results.
Management Commentary and Risks
Management asserts that the reconciliation of financial measures is useful for investors to understand the impact of SFAS 123(R) expenses. The filing explicitly states that non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP results and must be reviewed in conjunction with them. No specific forward-looking guidance or risk factors are detailed within the text of this 8-K form itself.
