Use
of Non-GAAP Financial Measures*
To
supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with the accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we present Contribution Margin (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings Before Interest
Tax Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), which are non-GAAP financial measures, as measures of our performance.
The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, or
superior to, operating loss and or net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative
to net cash provided by operating activities or any other measures of our cash flows or liquidity.
We
use Contribution Margin (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the performance of our operating segment. We believe that information
about these non-GAAP financial measures assists investors by allowing them to evaluate changes in the operating results of our business
separate from non-operational factors that affect operating income (loss) and net income (loss), thus providing insights into both operations
and the other factors that affect reported results. Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP. A limitation
of the use of Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain amortizing assets used
in generating revenue in our business. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for
operating income (loss), net income (loss), and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore,
this measure may vary among other companies; thus, Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures
of other companies.
Contribution
Margin (Loss) is defined as Revenue less Cost of Sales before (a) Cost of Sales share-based compensation expense, (b) depreciation, and
(c) amortization of developed technology. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, other (income) expense, income tax
expense, depreciation and amortization and before (a) non-cash GAAP purchase accounting adjustments for certain deferred revenue and
costs, (b) legal, accounting and other professional fees directly attributable to acquisition activity, (c) employee severance payments
and third party professional fees directly attributable to acquisition or corporate realignment activities, (d) certain non-recurring
expenses associated with legal settlements or reserves for legal settlements in the period that pertain to historical matters that existed
at acquired companies prior to their purchase date and a one-time minimum guarantee to effectively terminate a live events distribution
agreement post COVID-19, and (e) certain stock-based compensation expense. Management does not consider these costs to be indicative
of our core operating results.
With
respect to projected quarter and full fiscal year 2027 Adjusted EBITDA, a quantitative reconciliation is not available without unreasonable
efforts due to the high variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to purchase accounting adjustments, acquisition-related
charges and legal settlement reserves excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. We expect that the variability of these items to have a potentially
unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.
For
more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables entitled “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measure to GAAP
Measure” included at the end of this release.
