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 repaym 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 reported 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.
