Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures 1 The Company uses the non-GAAP financial measure “Adjusted EBITDA” in assessing its results because the Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is relevant and useful supplemental information for our investors. The Company believes that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure, when considered together with our GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, provides a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the Company than could be obtained absent these disclosures. The Company’s use of Adjusted EBITDA is not meant to be, and should not be, considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, any GAAP financial measure. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names.
