Appendix A
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
We report our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide users of our financial information with additional useful information in evaluating our performance. We believe that adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluations of companies, and that this supplemental measure facilitates comparisons between companies. This non-GAAP financial measure may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies.
There are several limitations related to the use of Adjusted EBITDA as compared to the net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Some of these limitations include:
adjusted EBITDA excludes interest income and other (income) expense, net, as these items are not components of our core business;
adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our provision (benefit) for income taxes, which may increase or decrease cash available to us;
adjusted EBITDA excludes the recurring, non-cash expenses of depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and, although these are non-cash expenses, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future;
adjusted EBITDA excludes the non-cash expense of stock-based compensation, which has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, an important part of how we attract and retain our employees and a significant recurring expense in our business;
adjusted EBITDA excludes costs incurred related to discrete restructuring plans and other one-time costs that are fundamentally different in strategic nature and frequency from ongoing initiatives. We believe exclusion of these items facilitates a more consistent comparison of operating performance over time, however these costs do include cash outflows; and
Adjusted EBITDA
We define adjusted EBITDA as net loss excluding interest income, other income (expense), net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and restructuring and other one-time costs. The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, to adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods presented:

| Add (deduct): | |||

| Other (income) expense, net | (1,631) | 25 | 394 |

| Adjusted EBITDA | $29,281 | $30,915 | $213 |
