ITEM 9. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE. The information below included in this Current Report on Form 8-K is furnished pursuant to Item 12 of Form 8-K, "Results of Operations and Financial Condition," and is reported under this Item 9 in accordance with SEC Release No. 33-8216. On April 30, 2003, the Company issued a press release announcing its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2003. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference. The Company provides in the press release certain non-GAAP financial measures, including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"). "GAAP" refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. As required by Regulation G, set forth below is a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they provide an alternative method for measuring the operating performance of the Company. The Company's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in evaluating the Company's operating performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and non-GAAP financial measures as reported by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled items reported by other companies.
