Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Operating Metrics
To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Wix uses
the following non-GAAP financial measures: collections, cumulative cohort collections, collections on a constant currency
basis, revenue on a constant currency basis, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net
income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, free cash flow, free cash flow, as adjusted, free cash flow margins, non-
GAAP R&D expenses, non-GAAP S&M expenses, non-GAAP G&A expenses, non-GAAP operating penses, non-GAAP cost of
revenue expense, non-GAAP tax expense (collectively the "Non-GAAP financial measures"). Measures presented on a constant
currency or FX neutral basis have been adjusted to exclude the effect of y/y changes in foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Collections is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by adding the change in deferred revenues for a particular period to
revenues for the same period. Collections include cash receipts for premium subscriptions purchased by registered users as well,
cash we collect for payments and additional products and services, as well as payments due to us under the terms of contractual
agreements for obligations we have fulfilled. Cash receipts for premium subscriptions are deferred and recognized as revenues over
the terms of the subscriptions. Cash receipts for payments and majority of the additional products and services are recognised as
revenues upon receipt. Committed payments are recognised as revenue as we fulfil our obligation under the terms of the
contractual agreement. Non-GAAP gross margin represents gross profit calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the
impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization, divided by revenue. Non-GAAP
operating income (loss) represents operating income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-
based compensation expense, amortization, acquisition-related expenses and sales tax expense accrual and other G&A
expenses (income). Non-GAAP net income (loss) represents net loss calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the
impact of share-based compensation expense, amortization, sales tax expense accrual and other G&A expenses (income),
amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs and acquisition-related expenses and non-operating foreign exchange
expenses (income). Non-GAAP net income (loss) per share represents non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by the weighted average
number of shares used in computing GAAP loss per share. Free cash flow represents net cash provided by (used in) operating
activities less capital expenditures. Free cash flow, as adjusted, represents free cash flow further adjusted to exclude capital
expenditures associated with our new headquarters. Free cash flow margins represent free cash flow divided by revenue. Non-GAAP
cost of revenue represents cost of revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based
compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization. Non-GAAP R&D expenses represent R&D expenses
calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses
and amortization. Non-GAAP S&M expenses represent S&M expenses calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the
impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization. Non-GAAP G&A expenses represent
G&A expenses calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-
related expenses and amortization. Non-GAAP operating expenses represent operating expenses calculated in accordance with
GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization.
The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the
financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures
for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes
that these measures provide useful information about operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial
performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its
financial and operational decision making.
For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the reconciliation tables provided below. The accompanying
tables have more details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures and the
related reconciliations between these financial measures. The Company is unable to provide reconciliations of free cash flow, free cash
flow, as adjusted, cumulative cohort collections, non-GAAP gross margin, and non-GAAP tax expense to their most directly comparable
GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort because items that impact those GAAP financial
measures are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Such information may have a significant, and
potentially unpredictable, impact on our future financial results.
Wix also uses Creative Subscriptions Annualized Recurring Revenue (ARR), Business Solutions ARR and Gross Payment Volume (GPV) as
key operating metrics. Creative Subscriptions ARR is calculated as Creative Subscriptions Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) multiplied by
12. Creative Subscriptions MRR is calculated as the total of (i) all active Creative Subscriptions in effect on the last day of the period,
multiplied by the monthly revenue of such Creative Subscriptions, other than domain registrations; (ii) the average revenue per month
from domain registrations; (iii) monthly revenue from partnership agreements. Business Solutions ARR is calculated as Business Solutions
MRR multiplied by 12. Business Solutions MRR is calculated as the total of all active subscriptions to Ascend, G-Suite, TPAs, FB Ads or Wix
apps products in effect on the last day of the period, multiplied by the monthly revenue of such subscriptions. GPV includes the total
value, in US dollars, of transactions facilitated by our platform.
