Sentiment and the balance of points

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.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2026 was $81.2 million"
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.
Dollar-based retention rate financial
"LTM subscription dollar-based retention rate was 109%"
Dollar-based retention rate measures how much revenue a company keeps from its existing customers over a set period, counting upgrades or downgrades but excluding new customer sales. It matters to investors because it shows whether a business can grow revenue from the customers it already has, indicating revenue stability and the health of customer relationships—like seeing whether a garden yields more from existing plants rather than relying on planting new ones.
Non-GAAP financial measures financial
"Non-GAAP financial measures are presented only as supplemental information"
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 senior notes financial
"Convertible senior notes"
Convertible senior notes are a type of loan that a company issues to investors, which can be turned into company shares later on. They are called "senior" because they are paid back before other debts if the company runs into trouble. This allows investors to earn interest like a loan but also have the chance to own part of the company if its value rises.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables contain certain non-GAAP financial measures. We calculate adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin by adding back the following items to gross profit: stock-based compensation, depreciation, intangibles amortization, acquisition and related transaction costs and one-time integration costs, costs related to reduction in force plans, and lease amortization for finance leases. We calculate adjusted EBITDA by adding back or removing the following items to or from GAAP net income: stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and other, acquisition and related transaction costs and one-time integration costs, costs related to reduction in force plans, office closure lease termination costs, impairment charge related to consolidation of corporate headquarters, lease amortization for finance leases, one-time expenses related to strategic consulting services for operational review, other cost-reduction and productivity initiatives, one-time expenses related to advisory services for long-term strategy and growth, one-time expenses related to advisory services for research and development transformation, legal fees related to the securities class action, and provision for income taxes. We calculate non-GAAP operating income by adding back or removing the following items to or from GAAP income from operations: stock-based compensation, intangibles amortization, acquisition and related transaction costs and one-time integration costs, costs related to reduction in force plans, office closure lease termination costs, impairment charge related to consolidation of corporate headquarters, one-time expenses related to strategic consulting services for operational review, other cost-reduction and productivity initiatives, one-time expenses related to advisory services for long-term strategy and growth, one-time expenses related to advisory services for research and development transformation, and legal fees related to the securities class action. We calculate non-GAAP net income by adding back or removing the following items to or from GAAP net income: stock-based compensation, intangibles amortization, amortization of discount and issuance costs on convertible senior notes, exit costs related to closure and relocation of Russian operations, acquisition and related transaction costs and one-time integration costs, costs related to reduction in force plans, office closure lease termination costs, impairment charge related to consolidation of corporate headquarters, one-time expenses related to strategic consulting services for operational review, other cost-reduction and productivity initiatives, one-time expenses related to advisory services for long-term strategy and growth, one-time expenses related to advisory services for research and development transformation, legal fees related to the securities class action, and deferred taxes - tax adjustments from an acquisition. For the periods presented, these adjustments from GAAP net income to non-GAAP net income do not include any presentation of the net tax effect of such adjustments given our significant net operating loss carryforwards. Non-GAAP financial measures do

not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. The Company considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be important because they provide useful measures of the operating performance of the Company, exclusive of factors that do not directly affect what we consider to be our core operating performance, as well as unusual events. The Company’s management uses these measures to (i) illustrate underlying trends in the Company’s business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of income or expenses that are excluded from non-GAAP measures, and (ii) establish budgets and operational goals for managing the Company’s business and evaluating its performance. In addition, investors often use similar measures to evaluate the operating performance of a company. Non-GAAP financial measures are presented only as supplemental information for purposes of understanding the Company’s operating results. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Please see the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures set forth in this release.
