APPENDIX A A-1
APPENDIX A
KEY PERFORMANCE MEASURES
“Active Customer” is defined as a unique customer that has made at least one purchase of any product or service in the preceding 12-month period.
“Average Revenue per Customer” is defined as net revenue for a given period divided by the number of Active Customers as of the end of that same period.
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This proxy statement refers to “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted EBITDA Margin,” and “Free Cash Flow” which are not defined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and are considered non-GAAP financial measures, as defined by SEC Regulation G. For each of these non-GAAP financial measures, we have provided below a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures may be useful in evaluating our financial information and comparing period-to-period performance, and we have incorporated Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure in the Company’s annual performance-based cash bonus program. However, these measures should not be considered in isolation and should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our non-GAAP financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
“Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as net income (loss) before interest and other income, taxes, and depreciation and amortization as further adjusted for asset impairment costs, stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes, amortization of cloud-based software implementation costs, non-cash charitable donations, charges for certain legal matters outside the ordinary course of business, and non-recurring costs such as restructuring costs and major system implementation costs.
“Adjusted EBITDA Margin” is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue.
“Free Cash Flow” is defined as net cash provided by operating activities minus purchases of property and equipment.
