Notes:
1 – Non-GAAP Measures
The Company continues to provide all information required in accordance with GAAP, but believes evaluating its ongoing operating results may not be as useful if an investor is limited to reviewing only GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, the Company uses non-GAAP financial information to evaluate its ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. The primary non-GAAP financial measures utilized by the Company include adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA per share. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings (loss) before interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization, unrealized foreign currency gains and losses and stock-based compensation.
To supplement the Company’s financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, we believe that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information about the Company’s core operating results and thus are appropriate to enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past financial performance and its prospects for the future. These adjustments to the Company’s GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company’s underlying operational results and trends and performance. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the Company’s financial results, develop budgets, manage expenditures, and determine employee compensation. The presentation of additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for or superior to net (loss) earnings or net (loss) earnings per share determined in accordance with GAAP.
