Key Terms

adjusted ebitda financial

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

non-gaap gross margin financial

Non-GAAP gross margin is a measure of a company's profitability that shows how much money it makes from sales after subtracting the direct costs of producing its products or services, but without applying certain accounting adjustments required by standard rules. It helps investors understand the company's core earning ability by excluding items like one-time expenses or accounting changes. This metric provides a clearer picture of ongoing business performance beyond official financial reports.

gaap gross margin financial

GAAP gross margin is a financial measure that shows the percentage of revenue remaining after subtracting the costs directly associated with producing goods or services, calculated according to standard accounting rules. It indicates how efficiently a company is turning sales into profit before accounting for other expenses, and higher gross margins generally suggest better profitability potential. This metric helps investors assess a company's pricing power and cost management.

non-gaap net income financial

Non-GAAP net income is a company's profit figure that excludes certain costs or income that are included in standard accounting methods. Companies often use it to show what their earnings might look like without one-time expenses or other unusual items, helping investors see the company's core performance more clearly.

non-gaap financial measures financial

Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.

convertible debt financial

A convertible debt is a loan a company takes that gives the lender the option to swap the owed money for a set number of the company’s shares instead of getting cash back. It matters to investors because it can change who owns the company and how much their shares are worth: if lenders convert, existing shareholders can be diluted, but conversion can also signal confidence and reduce a company’s cash pressure — like getting a coupon that can be redeemed for store ownership rather than a refund.

if-converted method financial

An accounting rule used when calculating diluted earnings per share that imagines what would happen if all convertible securities—like convertible bonds, preferred shares, or options—had already been turned into common stock. It adjusts the company’s reported profit per share downward to show how earnings would be shared if ownership were spread across a larger number of shares, similar to checking how a pie’s slice size changes if more people join the table. This matters to investors because it reveals a more conservative view of each share’s claim on profits and potential future ownership dilution.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, our key non-GAAP performance measures include adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss) and free cash flow as defined below. We use adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income (loss) as key measures to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short- and long-term operating plans. We use free cash flow as a key measure when assessing our sources of liquidity, capital resources, and quality of earnings. We believe these measures provide useful information for period-to-period comparisons of our business to allow investors and others to understand and evaluate our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. Our presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and our non-GAAP measures may be different from similarly termed non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding, if applicable for the periods presented, the effects of stock-based compensation; depreciation and amortization; restructuring costs; settlement income and related costs; induced conversion expense; other income, net; interest expense; acquisition related expense and related purchase accounting adjustments; and income tax benefit (expense).

Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss)

We define non-GAAP net income as net income (loss), excluding, if applicable for the periods presented, the effects of stock-based compensation; depreciation and amortization; restructuring costs; settlement income and related costs; induced conversion expense; acquisition related expense and related purchase accounting adjustments; and the corresponding income tax impacts of adjustments to net income (loss).

Free cash flow

We define free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, less purchases of property and equipment.
