Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This earnings release includes a presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net income (loss) with an adjustment to add back depreciation, amortization, interest expense, common stock for services and stock-based compensation. The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or as an indication of operating performance or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. The Company does not consider Adjusted EBITDA to be a substitute for or superior to the information provided by its GAAP financial results. Additionally, the Company’s non-GAAP measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Management believes that providing Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes non-cash expenses, provides useful information to investors by offering an additional way of viewing our results and underlying growth relative to prior and future periods. Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure in making financial, operating, and planning decisions and in evaluating our performance.
