Notes:
(1)
The attached summary financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The attached summary financial
statements for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2009 are
unaudited. To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in
accordance with GAAP, the Company presents Gilat’s net income, EBITDA and
earnings per diluted share, before the impact of a non-cash share-based payment
charge, which is the non-cash stock option expense as per SFAS 123 (R). Non-GAAP
presentations of net income, EBITDA and earnings per share are provided to
enhance the understanding of the Company’s historical financial performance
and comparability between periods.
(2) Operating income before depreciation, amortization and non cash stock option expenses as per SFAS 123(R) (‘EBITDA’) is presented because it is a measure commonly used and is presented solely in order to improve the understanding of the Company’s operating results and to provide further perspective on these results. EBITDA, however, should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or net income for the period as an indicator of the operating performance of the Company.
Similarly, EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies. EBITDA may not be indicative of the historic operating results of the Company; nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results. Reconciliation between the Company’s Operating income and EBIDTA is presented in the attached summary financial statements.
