NaviSite completed the sale of its Dallas colocation data center during the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, for gross cash proceeds of $12.75 million. The results of operations reported exclude the results of discontinued operations for the periods presented.

EBITDA and Other Non-GAAP Measures
EBITDA is not a recognized measure for financial-statement presentation under United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). NaviSite believes that non-GAAP measures, such as EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, provide investors with useful supplemental measures of our actual and expected operating and financial performance by excluding the impact of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization from net income (loss). We also exclude impairment costs, stock-based compensation, severance, discontinued operations, related gain on discontinued operations, and other non-recurring charges, as such items may be considered to be of a non-operational nature. EBITDA, as adjusted, does not have any standardized definition and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other reporting companies. We use EBITDA, as adjusted, to assist in evaluating our actual and expected operating and financial performance. The non-GAAP results should not be evaluated in isolation from, or as a substitute for, our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. A table reconciling our net income (loss), as reported, to EBITDA, as adjusted are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements in this release. We believe that using EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA together with net income (loss) will help investors better understand our underlying financial performance.
