With positive adjusted EBITDA, as well as $140 million in cash and investments and a commitment to profitability, we are well positioned to continue our strategic investments in research and development, services and improving market share for future growth."
Carrel continued, "Our customers are excited about the recent launch of Vitrea Enterprise Suite and its productivity enhancing, centralized solution for managing volumetric data. We look forward to showing physicians the depth and breadth of capabilities within Vitrea Enterprise Suite at the upcoming RSNA conference. We were honored at the end of October when Vitrea Enterprise Suite was recognized by AuntMinnie.com editors and its expert panel of radiology professionals as the Minnies winner for Best New Radiology Software in 2009."
The company's total cash and investments were $140.3 million as of September 30, 2009, compared to $141.1 million as of June 30, 2009.

Non-GAAP Information
To supplement the company's condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, Vital Images uses adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure), which is adjusted to exclude certain items to enhance the overall understanding of our past financial performance. These adjustments to GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of Vital Images' underlying operational results and trends and our marketplace performance. In addition, these non-GAAP results are among the information management uses to establish internal operating budgets, supplement the financial results and forecasts reported to the company's board of directors, determine a portion of bonus compensation for executive officers and certain other key employees, and evaluate short-term and long-term operating trends in the company's core operations. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be computed the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies. See Supplemental Financial Information section for a reconciliation from GAAP results to adjusted EBITDA.
