Non - GAAP Financial Measures Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization expense 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 u nde rstand and evaluate the Company’s core operating performance and trends, to develop short - and long - term operational plans, and to allocate resources to expand the Com pany’s business. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period - to - period comparisons of the cash operating inco me generated by the Company’s business. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and others to understand and evaluate the Company’s operating re sul ts and it allows for a more meaningful comparison between the Company’s performance and that of competitors. Management uses these 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 informa tio n 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 amortizatio n e xpense that may need to be replaced or for new capital expenditures; (ii) reflect the Company's working capital requirements; or (iii) consider the potentially dilutive imp act 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 equiv ale nts, restricted 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 three months ended March 31 , 2018 and 2017 (in thousands): non - GAAP reconciliation: adjusted EBITDA 14
