“We continued to execute well in Q3, our eighth consecutive quarter of profitable growth,” said Sheila Lirio Marcelo, Founder, Chairwoman and CEO of Care.com. “In 2017, we expect to generate approximately $25 million in cash, and are raising our expectation for year-end cash and short-term investments to over $100 million. We’re also excited to raise our top and bottom line guidance for 2017. Looking ahead, we expect 2018 to be another year of profitable growth - with further progress toward our long-term EBITDA margin target of 20-25%. And we remain confident that we’re putting the building blocks in place to drive acceleration in top-line growth in 2019 and beyond.”



	Q4 2017 Guidance					Full Year 2017 Guidance					Initial Full Year 2018 Outlook

Revenue	$	43.6	—	$	44.1	$	173.5	—	$	174.0		~ $190.0

Adjusted EBITDA	$	9.7	—	$	10.2	$	21.5	—	$	22.0		~ $30.0

Non-GAAP EPS	$	0.15	—	$	0.16	$	0.51	—	$	0.52		~ $0.65

Figures in millions except for Non-GAAP EPS
Q4 Non-GAAP EPS based on approximately 38 million weighted average dilutive shares
FY'17 full year Non-GAAP EPS based on 38 million weighted average diluted shares
FY'18 full year Non-GAAP EPS based on 40 million weighted average diluted shares

Future GAAP Net Income (Loss) and GAAP EPS may be significantly affected by changes in ongoing assumptions and judgments, and may also be affected by non-recurring, unusual or unanticipated charges, expenses or gains, which we are not able to estimate and which therefore are excluded in the calculation of the Company’s non-GAAP EPS guidance as described in this press release. Due to the nature of any such items, we are not able to estimate their significance, and it is therefore currently not practical to reconcile adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP EPS guidance to the most comparable GAAP measure.

This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including but not limited to, statements regarding the projected future EBITDA margins of the business, the expected results of product investments and innovations, and the Company’s financial guidance for the fourth quarter of 2017 and full year 2017 and initial outlook 2018.

These forward-looking statements are made as of the date they were first issued and were based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections as well as the beliefs and assumptions of management. Words such as “plan,” "expect," "anticipate," "should," "believe," "hope," "target," "project," "goals," "estimate," "potential," "predict," "may," "will," "might," "could," "intend," “designed,” variations of these terms or the negative of these terms and similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond the Company's control. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those stated or implied in forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including but not limited to: our ability to grow our membership while leveraging our investment in sales and marketing, our success in converting non-paying members to paying members, our ability to cross-sell new and existing products and services to our members and to develop new products and services that members consider valuable, our ability to protect our brand and maintain our reputation among our members, and other risks detailed in the Company's other publicly available filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. The forward-looking statements included in this press release represent the Company's views as of the date of this press release. The Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause its views to change. The Company undertakes no intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company's views as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release.

A “non-GAAP financial measure” refers to a numerical measure of the Company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that excludes (or includes) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the Company’s financial statements. The Company provides certain non-GAAP measures as additional information relating to its operating results as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial information presented here should be considered in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a measure of the Company’s liquidity. There are significant limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. Further, these measures may differ from the non-GAAP information, even where similarly titled, used by other companies and therefore should not be used to compare the Company’s performance to that of other companies.

The Company has presented: adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss) from continuing operations and non-GAAP EPS as non-GAAP financial measures in this press release. We define adjusted EBITDA as income (loss) from continuing operations, which excludes the accretion of preferred stock dividends and issuance costs, plus: federal, state and franchise taxes, other expense, net, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, accretion of contingent consideration, merger and acquisition related costs, and other unusual or non-cash significant adjustments, such as impairment and restructuring charges. Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the effects of financing, income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending, which is based on the Company's estimate of the useful life of tangible and intangible assets. We define non-GAAP net income as income (loss) from continuing operations, which excludes the accretion of preferred stock dividends, plus stock-based compensation, accretion of contingent consideration, merger

The Company believes the use of non-GAAP financial measures, as a supplement to GAAP measures, is useful to investors in that they eliminate items that are either not part of the Company's core operations or do not require a cash outlay, such as stock-based compensation. Care.com’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating the Company’s operating performance and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures help indicate underlying trends in the Company’s business, are important in comparing current results with prior period results, and are useful to investors and financial analysts in assessing the Company’s operating performance.
