Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresIn
order to assist investors in understanding the core operating
results that our management uses to evaluate the business and for
financial planning, we present the following non-GAAP measures: (1)
Adjusted EBITDA, (2) Adjusted EBITDA Margin, (3) Adjusted EBITDA
less capex and (4) Free Cash Flow. The presentation of this
financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation
or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information
prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The Company believes that these measures are
relevant and provide useful information widely used by analysts,
investors and other interested parties in our industry to provide a
baseline for evaluating and comparing our operating performance,
and in the case of free cash flow, our liquidity results. We also
evaluate our revenue on an as reported (U.S. GAAP) and currency
neutral basis. We believe presenting currency neutral information
provides valuable supplemental information regarding our comparable
results, consistent with how we evaluate our performance
internally.
Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to
the most comparable GAAP measures are provided below.
The Company does not reconcile its
forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding
U.S. GAAP measures, due to variability and difficulty in making
accurate forecasts and projections and/or certain information not
being ascertainable or accessible; and because not all of the
information, such as foreign currency impacts necessary for a
quantitative reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP
financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP
financial measure, is available to the Company without unreasonable
efforts. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the
probable significance of the unavailable information. The Company
provides non-GAAP financial measures that it believes will be
achieved, however it cannot accurately predict all of the
components of the adjusted calculations and the U.S. GAAP measures
may be materially different than the non-GAAP measures.
