Key Operating Metrics

Visits. RetailMeNot defines a visit as a group of interactions that take place on one of RetailMeNot Inc.’s websites from computers, smartphones, tablets or other mobile devices within a given time frame as measured by Google Analytics, a product that provides digital marketing intelligence. A single visit can contain multiple page views, events, social interactions and e-commerce transactions. A single visitor can open multiple visits. Visits can occur on the same day, or over several days, weeks or months. As soon as one visit ends, there is then an opportunity to start a new visit. A visit ends either through the passage of time or a campaign change, with a campaign generally meaning arrival via search engine, referring site or campaign-tagged information. A visit ends through passage of time either after 30 minutes of inactivity or at midnight Pacific Time. A visit ends through a campaign change if a visitor arrives via one campaign or source, leaves the site, and then returns via another campaign or source. Visits for the period do not include interactions through our mobile applications.

Mobile Unique Visitors. This amount represents the average number of mobile unique visitors per month for the three month period ending September 30, 2015. RetailMeNot counts each of the following as a mobile unique visitor: (i) the first time a specific mobile device accesses one of our mobile applications during a calendar month, and (ii) the first time a specific mobile device accesses one of our mobile websites using a specific web browser during a calendar month. If a mobile device accesses more than one of our mobile websites or mobile applications in a single calendar month, the first access to each such mobile website or mobile application is counted as a mobile unique visitor as they are tracked separately for each mobile domain. We measure mobile unique visitors with a combination of internal data sources and Google Analytics data.


Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, this document includes references to Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, see the tables provided below in this release.

RetailMeNot defines adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, third-party acquisition-related costs, other non-cash operating expenses (including compensation arrangements entered into in connection with acquisitions), net interest expense, other non-operating income or expense (including net foreign exchange gains and losses) and income taxes.

RetailMeNot discloses adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by RetailMeNot and its board of directors to understand and evaluate RetailMeNot’s financial and operating performance, establish budgets and operational goals and as an element in determining executive compensation. RetailMeNot believes adjusted EBITDA also facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operations that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that RetailMeNot excludes in this non-GAAP financial measure and facilitates comparisons with other peer companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results.

Our presentation of non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share excludes the impact of amortization of purchased intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, third party acquisition-related costs, other non-cash operating expenses (including compensation arrangements entered into in connection with acquisitions) and income taxes, net of the tax effect of the adjustments above. These measures are not key metrics used by RetailMeNot or its board of directors to measure financial or operating performance or otherwise manage the business. However, RetailMeNot provides non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share as supplemental information for investors, as they facilitate period-to-period comparisons of operations that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that RetailMeNot excludes in these non-GAAP financial measures and facilitates comparisons with other peer companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results.

Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of RetailMeNot’s results as reported under GAAP. Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share alongside other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net income (loss) and RetailMeNot’s other GAAP results.
