Non-GAAP financial measures
This presentation contains unaudited non-GAAP financial measures, including Reported EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Consolidated EBITDA,
Debt
Coverage
Ratio,
Interest
Coverage
Ratio,
Adjusted
Operating
Expenses
and
Adjusted
Gross
Profit.
Management
believes
these
non-
GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating performance because they exclude amounts
that our management and our board of directors do not consider part of core operating results when assessing the performance of the Company.
Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company’s historical financial performance, establish future
operating and capital budgets and determine variable compensation for management and employees.  Accordingly, the Company believes these
non-GAAP financial measures are useful in allowing for a better understanding of the Company's core operations.
While
management
believes
that
these
non-GAAP
financial
measures
provide
useful
information,
they
are
not
operating
measures
under
U.S.
GAAP, and there are limitations associated with their use. The Company's calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be
completely comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences between companies in their method of
calculation. As a result the use of these non-GAAP financial measures has limitations and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a
substitute for, other measures such as Net income or Net income attributable to stockholders. Due to these limitations, these non-GAAP financial
measures are used as a supplement to U.S. GAAP measures.
Management uses Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Consolidated EBITDA Margin to focus on year-over-year changes in the Company’s business
and believes this information is also helpful to investors. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA in these EBITDA-related margin measures
because it believes its investors are familiar with Adjusted EBITDA and that consistency in presentation of EBITDA-related measures is helpful
to investors. Management also uses Debt Coverage Ratios and Interest Coverage Ratios to focus management on year-over-year changes in
the Company’s leverage and believes this information is also helpful to investors. The Company cautions investors that these non-GAAP
financial
measures
presented
also
are
intended
to
supplement
the
Company’s
GAAP
results
and
are
not
a
substitute
for
such
results.
Additionally, the Company cautions investors that the non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may differ from the non-GAAP
measures used by other companies.
