Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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, collections and revenue on a constant currency basis, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP operating loss, free cash
flow, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share (collectively the "Non-GAAP financial measures"). Collections represents the total cash
collected by us from our customers in a given period and is calculated by adding the change in deferred revenues for a particular period to revenues
for the same period. We adjust collections and revenue to measure them on a constant currency basis by assuming the same exchange rates as the
prior period applied to the reported figures in the current period. Non-GAAP operating loss represents operating loss calculated in accordance with
GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, amortization, and acquisition-related costs. Non-GAAP net loss represents
net loss calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, amortization, and acquisition-related
costs. Non-GAAP net loss per share represents non-GAAP net loss divided by the weighted average number of shares used in computing GAAP loss
per share. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as cash flow from operations before changes in working capital, prepaid domain registration costs, interest,
bank charges and other financial expenses (income), net unrealized losses (gains) on hedging transactions, other income (expenses), taxes on income,
and other unusual or non-recurring expenses. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures.
Beginning with our Q1 2017 earnings release, we do not intend to report or provide guidance for Adjusted EBITDA going forward. Adjusted EBITDA
for 2016 and 2015 in this earnings release have been presented on the same basis.
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 it provides 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 of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" table in this
press release. This accompanying table has 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 has not reconciled its guidance as to free cash flow to cash
flow from operations because it does not provide guidance for cash flow from operations. As items that impact cash flow from operations are out of
the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, the Company is unable to provide such guidance. Accordingly, a reconciliation to cash
flow from operations is not available without unreasonable effort.
