Information Regarding Non-GAAP Measures
Net (loss) income attributable to the Company excluding the effect of unrealized gain (loss) from equity securities is net (loss) income attributable to the Company exclusive of unrealized gains or losses from equity securities, net of tax. Net (loss) income attributable to the Company is the GAAP measure most closely comparable to net (loss) income attributable to the Company excluding the effect of unrealized gain (loss) from equity securities.
Management uses net income attributable to the Company excluding the effect of unrealized gain (loss) from equity securities, along with other measures, to gauge the Company’s performance and evaluate results, which can be skewed when including unrealized (losses) gains from equity securities, which may vary significantly between periods. Net (loss) income attributable to the Company excluding the effect of unrealized gain (loss) from equity securities are provided as supplemental information, and are not a substitute for net (loss) income attributable to the Company and do not reflect the Company’s overall profitability.
The following table reconciles the net (loss) income attributable to the Company excluding the effect of unrealized gain (loss) from equity securities to net (loss) income attributable to the Company for the periods indicated:
