Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
"Third-quarter performance was our strongest ever, with Vector growing
"We are seeing the compounding impact of our flywheel strategy: more creators make more games on our platform, and more games fuel the need for more discovery through advertising."

We have not reconciled our estimates for non-GAAP financial measures in this press release and in the earnings call referencing this press release to GAAP due to the uncertainty and potential variability of expenses that may be incurred in the future.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in
However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in their usefulness to investors because they have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. As a result, our non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP.
We define adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net income or loss excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortization and impairment of intangible assets, depreciation expense, gain on sale of business, restructuring and reorganization costs, interest expense, interest income and other income (expense), net and the provision for income taxes. We define adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. We define adjusted gross profit as GAAP gross profit excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortization and impairment of intangible assets, depreciation expense, and restructuring and reorganization costs. We define adjusted gross margin as adjusted gross profit as a percentage of revenue.
We define adjusted cost of revenue as GAAP cost of revenue, excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortization and impairment of intangible assets, depreciation expense, and restructuring and reorganization costs. We define adjusted research and development expense as GAAP research and development expense, excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortization and impairment of intangible assets, depreciation expense, gain on sale of business, and restructuring and reorganization costs. We define adjusted sales and marketing expense as GAAP sales and marketing expense, excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortization and impairment of intangible assets, depreciation expense, gain on sale of business, and restructuring and reorganization costs. We define adjusted general and administrative expense as GAAP general and administrative expense excluding stock-based compensation expense, depreciation expense, impairment of intangible assets, gain on sale of business, and restructuring and reorganization costs. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less cash used for purchases of property and equipment.
We define adjusted EPS as GAAP net income or loss excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortization and impairment of intangible assets, depreciation expense, gain on sale of business, restructuring and reorganization costs, and the income tax impact of the preceding adjustments (cumulatively "adjusted net income"), increased by the tax effected impacts from any relevant dilutive securities, divided by the diluted weighted-average outstanding shares. The effective tax rate used in calculating adjusted EPS is estimated for each period, based on the net income or loss adjusted for the items noted above, and may differ from the effective rate used in our financial statements. Shares of common stock that are excluded in our calculation of GAAP diluted net loss per share due to their antidilutive impact on such calculations, are included in the diluted weighted average outstanding shares used in our calculation of adjusted EPS, to the extent they have a dilutive impact on adjusted EPS given the adjusted net income in each period.
