About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the Company's unaudited consolidated
financial results presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company
has provided non-GAAP information related to income/(loss) from operations, net income/(loss), net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary
shareholders of Tuniu Corporation, which excludes share-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets and impairment
of property and equipment, net. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as
a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe that the non-GAAP financial
measures used in this press release are useful for understanding and assessing underlying business performance and operating trends, and
management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our financial performance and when planning
and forecasting future periods.
This non-GAAP financial measure is not defined
under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as an analytical tool.
Further, this non-GAAP measure may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore
its comparability may be limited. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the nearest
U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating performance. Tuniu encourages investors and others to
review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
For more information on these non-GAAP financial
measures, please see the table captioned "Reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP Results" set forth at the end of this press release.
