Ticker: PEER Non - GAAP Financial Measures Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude interest (income) expense , net, other (income) expense, net, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization expense, loss on disposal of property and equipment, impairment loss on digital tokens and stock - based compensation expense. The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by the Company’s management and its Board of Directors to understand and evaluate the Company’s core operating performance and trend s, to develop short - and long - term operational plans, and to allocate resources to expand the Company’s business. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EB ITDA can provide a useful measure for period - to - period comparisons of the cash operating income generated by the Company’s business. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investo rs and others to understand and evaluate the Company’s operating results and it allows for a more meaningful comparison between the Company’s performance and that of competitors. Management also uses non - GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing the Company's financial results to assess operational performance and to determine the Company's future capital requirements. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Some limitations of Adjusted EBITDA as a financial measure include that: • Adjusted EBITDA does not ( i ) reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for assets underlying depreciation and amortization expense that may need to be replaced or for new capital expenditures; (ii) reflect the Company's working capital requirements; ( iii ) reflect the impairment loss on digital tokens; or (iv) consider the potentially dilutive impact of stock - based compensation; and • Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently or choose not to calculate Ad jus ted EBITDA at all, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, you should consider this non - GAAP financial information along with other financial performance mea sures reported in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including total revenues, subscription revenue, deferred revenue, net income (loss), cash and cash equivalents, r est ricted cash, net cash used in operating activities and our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. The following unaudited table presents a reconciliation of net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure calculate d a nd presented in accordance with GAAP, to Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2018 ( in thousands): Non - GAAP Reconciliation: Adjusted EBITDA 25
