Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Press Release includes information about certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP” or “U.S. GAAP”), including non-GAAP gross profit and margin, non-GAAP adjusted operating income and margin, non-GAAP adjusted net income, non-GAAP adjusted net income per share and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and margin. These non-GAAP measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

Management defines its non-GAAP financial measures as follows:

  • Non-GAAP gross profit represents the corresponding GAAP measure adjusted to exclude (1) stock-based compensation expense and (2) amortization of intangible assets.
  • Non-GAAP adjusted operating income represents the corresponding GAAP measure adjusted to exclude (1) stock-based compensation expense, (2) amortization of intangible assets and (3) one-time costs related to initial public and follow-on offerings.
  • Non-GAAP adjusted net income and non-GAAP adjusted net income per share represent the corresponding GAAP measures adjusted to exclude (1) stock-based compensation expense, (2) amortization of intangible assets, (3) one-time costs related to our initial public and follow on offerings and (4) one-time costs related to debt repayments. Non-GAAP adjusted net income and non-GAAP adjusted net income per share are calculated using an estimated long-term effective tax rate.
  • Non-GAAP per share measures are shown on a pro-forma basis, assuming the conversion of preferred shares and public offerings occurred at the beginning of the respective periods.
  • Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) adjusted to exclude (1) interest expense, net of interest income, (2) income tax provision (benefit), (3) depreciation and amortization, (4) amortization of intangible assets, (5) stock-based compensation expense, (6) amortization of debt issuance costs, (7) loss on extinguishment of debt, (8) other (income) expense and (9) one-time costs related initial public and follow on offerings.
  • The various non-GAAP margins represent the respective non-GAAP measures as a percentage of revenue.


Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed with our results under U.S. GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, provide useful information about our period-over-period growth and provide additional information that is useful for evaluating our operating performance. Additionally, management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a more meaningful comparison of our operating results against those of other companies in our industry, as well as on a period-to-period basis, because these measures exclude items that are not representative of our operating performance, such as amortization of intangible assets, interest expense and fair value adjustments to the interest rate swap. Management believes that including these costs in our results of operations results in a lack of comparability between our operating results and those of our peers in the industry, the majority of which are not highly leveraged and do not have comparable amortization costs related to intangible assets. However, non-GAAP gross profit and margin, non-GAAP adjusted operating income and margin, non-GAAP adjusted net income, non-GAAP adjusted net income per share and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and margin are not measures of financial performance under U.S. GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as alternatives to gross profit and margin, operating income (loss) and margin, net income (loss) or net income (loss) per share as indicators of operating performance.

A reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP financial measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in the Press Release.
