Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This Presentation includes non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Unlevered Adjusted Free Cash Flow, that have not been prepared in accordance with United States
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The non-GAAP measures in this Presentation may be different from non-GAAP calculations made by other companies. The recipient should be aware that the presentation of these measures may not be
comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. These measures may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing the Company's financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an
alternative to net income or other measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP. Please refer to the last slide of this Presentation for a reconciliation of such non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable measures presented in accordance
with GAAP. The Company is not providing a reconciliation of Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Unlevered Adjusted Free Cash Flow on a forward-looking basis to the most directly comparable measure
prepared in accordance with GAAP because the Company is unable to provide this reconciliation without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence, the financial impact, and the periods in which the
adjustments may be recognized. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significant of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.
Adjusted Gross Profit
We believe that the presentation of Adjusted Gross Profit is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about our gross profit adjusted for certain non-cash items. Further, we believe Adjusted Gross Profit provides a meaningful measure of
operating profitability because we use it for evaluating our business performance, making budgeting decisions, and comparing our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures.
We define Adjusted Gross Profit as gross profit adjusted for (i) share-based compensation expense and (ii) depreciation and amortization.
There are material limitations to using Adjusted Gross Profit. Adjusted Gross Profit does not take into account all items which directly affect our gross profit. These limitations are best addressed by considering the economic effects of the excluded items
independently and by considering Adjusted Gross Profit in conjunction with gross profit as calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about our operating profitability adjusted for certain non-cash items, non-routine items that we do not expect to
continue at the same level in the future, as well as other items that are not core to our operations. Further, we believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin provide a meaningful measure of operating profitability because we use them for evaluating
our business performance, making budgeting decisions, and comparing our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss adjusted for (i) interest, (ii) taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) share-based compensation expense, and (v) other non-recurring and/or non-cash items. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted
EBITDA divided by Revenue.
There are material limitations to using Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account certain significant items, including depreciation and amortization, interest, taxes, and other adjustments which directly affect our
net income or loss. These limitations are best addressed by considering the economic effects of the excluded items independently and by considering Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with net income or loss as calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Adjusted
EBITDA discussion above is also applicable to Adjusted EBITDA Margin.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow
We believe that the presentation of Adjusted Free Cash Flow is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about our ability to service and repay debt and other payment obligations, make other investments, and pay dividends.
We define Adjusted Free Cash Flow as cash flows from operating activities less cash outlays related to capital expenditures (which primarily relate to purchases of property, plant and equipment) adjusted for other payments or receipts that may mask our
operating results or business trends. As a result, subject to the limitations described below, Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a useful measure of our cash flow attributable to our normal business activities, as well as our ability to service and repay debt and other
payment obligations, make other investments, and pay dividends.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow adjusts for cash items that are ultimately within management's discretion to direct, and therefore, may imply that there is less or more cash that is available than the most comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is not
intended to represent residual cash flow for discretionary expenditures since debt repayment and other payment obligation requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures are not deducted. These limitations are best addressed by using Adjusted Free
Cash Flow in combination with the GAAP cash flow numbers.
Unlevered Adjusted Free Cash Flow
We define Unlevered Adjusted Free Cash Flow as Adjusted Free Cash Flow adjusted for cash interest paid. As a result, subject to the limitations described below, Unlevered Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a useful measure of our cash available to service and repay
debt and other payment obligations, make other investments, and pay dividends. Unlevered Adjusted Free Cash Flow adjusts for contractual interest and other obligation payments as well as cash items that are ultimately within management's discretion to
direct, and therefore, may imply that there is less or more cash that is available than the most comparable GAAP measure. Unlevered Adjusted Free Cash Flow is not intended to represent residual cash flow for discretionary expenditures since debt repayment
and other payment obligation requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures are not deducted. These limitations are best addressed by using Unlevered Adjusted Free Cash Flow in combination with the GAAP cash flow numbers.
