Based on these revenue expectations and currently anticipated expenses, Corillian anticipates that EPS will be in the range of $0.02 to $0.05 per share for the first quarter of 2004. Adjusted EBITDA Results Adjusted EBITDA results exclude interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, litigation settlement charges, restructuring and impairment charges, losses on equity investments and other income (expense), net, and are provided by Corillian as a complement to reported net income (loss), which is provided using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (or GAAP). Corillian believes that adjusted EBITDA is a useful metric for Corillian and its investors because it excludes certain items that relate to non-operating activities and non-cash items and because other companies in its industry provide a similar metric. A table detailing the differences between Corillians reported net income (loss) under GAAP and adjusted EBITDA is included in the consolidated statements of operations below.
