Certain portions of our discussion today may contain forward-looking statements, which involve many risks and uncertainties that can cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. Important factors that can cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to, those stated in our press release today on February 26th for our fourth quarter and year-end earnings as well as the Company's outlook and in CoStar's filings with the SEC including our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q under the heading, Risk Factors.
All forward-looking statements are based on information available to CoStar on the time of this call. CoStar assumes no obligation to update these statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measure to the non-GAAP financial measures discussed on this call including, but not limited to non-GAAP net income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and forward-looking GAAP guidance are shown in detail in our press release issued today along with definitions for these terms.
