Non-GAAP Financial Measure Disclosures


Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization
("EBITDA") for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $23.9
million with a margin of 11.3%.  EBITDA for the three months ended
March 31, 2005 was $16.2 million with a margin of 8.9%.  EBITDA for
the twelve months ended March 31, 2006 was $88.1 million with a
margin of 11.6%. EBITDA for the twelve months ended March 31, 2005
was $64.0 million with a margin of 9.3%.

Management believes that EBITDA provides the reader a good measure of
cash generated from the operations of the business before any
investment in working capital or fixed assets.

The following definition is provided for the non-GAAP financial
measure identified above, together with a reconciliation of such non-
GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial
measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
