1 Programmatic revenue relates to programmatic buying through the automated purchase of digital advertising inventory through a combination of machine-based transactions, data and algorithms.

2 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and certain non-recurring expenses when they occur including proxy contest, asset impairment and restructuring costs. We believe that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as management and the board of directors. This non-GAAP information is not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP information of other companies. Non-GAAP information should not be viewed as a substitute for, or superior to, net income prepared in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our profitability or liquidity. Users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions for which adjustments have been made.

 

 

 

 

 

Business Outlook

For the third quarter of 2017, the Company expects adjusted EBITDA in the range of $3.5 million to $5.0 million.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release, conference call and webcast of the same date contain forward-looking statements regarding future events and our future financial performance. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to our Business Outlook, statements about our growth strategy, the impact of restructuring and cost saving initiatives, potential merger and acquisition activity, the impact of management changes, our operating results, financial goals for 2017, market trends, and quotations from management. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that could cause actual results and the timing of events to differ materially from future results that are expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include adaptation to new, changing and competitive technologies and trends in a dynamic market, changes to our management, competitive trends in a dynamic market, our history of net losses and limited operating history, which make it difficult to evaluate our prospects, our fluctuating quarterly results of operations, risks associated with margin shifts in the industry and our dependence on a limited number of customers in a highly competitive industry. These and other risk factors are discussed under “Risk Factors” in YuMe’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 that have been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and in our future filings and reports with the SEC. The forward-looking statements in this press release are based on information available to YuMe as of the date hereof, and YuMe assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we report in this press release and on our webcast adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We calculate adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), excluding income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and certain non-recurring expenses when they occur including proxy contest, asset impairment and restructuring costs. We believe that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors in understanding our operating results in the same manner as management and the board of directors. This non-GAAP information is not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP information presented by other companies. Non-GAAP financial information should not be viewed as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Users of this non-GAAP financial information should consider the types of events and transactions for which adjustments have been made.

 

We have included adjusted EBITDA in this release and on our webcast because it is a key measure we use to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short- and long-term operational plans. In particular, we believe that adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our operating results because it excludes some expenses that may mask underlying trends.

 

In the tables following the financial statements attached to this press release, the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
