Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and
presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
("GAAP"), we present the following non-GAAP financial measures: Revenue less transaction
costs, revenue less transaction costs as a percentage of GMV, adjusted operating loss,
adjusted operating margin, adjusted cash flow from operations, free cash flow, cash flow
from loan financing and repayment, and free cash flow after loan financing and repayment.
Definitions of each non-GAAP financial measure and reconciliations of each non-GAAP
financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are included in
this presentation. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction
with financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP for planning purposes, including
the preparation of our annual operating budget, as a measure of our operating results and
the effectiveness of our business strategy, and in evaluating our financial performance.
However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational
purposes only, and our use of these non-GAAP financial measures has limitations as
analytical tools. Accordingly, you should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in
isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our financial results as reporting under GAAP, and
these non-GAAP measures should be considered along with other operating and financial
performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to
review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations of these non-GAAP
financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and not rely
on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
