In this proxy statement, we disclose Adjusted EBITDA, which financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. We believe Adjusted EBITDA offers a useful view of overall operations used to assess the performance of core business operations and for planning purposes. We define Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net income (loss) before (1) interest income (expense), net, (2) (provision for) benefit from income taxes, (3) depreciation and amortization, (4) other income (expense), net, (5) stock-based compensation expense, and (6) acquisition-related costs. Acquisition-related costs include transaction and related costs, subsequent fair value movements in contingent consideration, and compensation arrangements. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA is GAAP net income (loss). Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to purport to be an alternate to GAAP net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance.

We use Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with traditional GAAP net loss as part of our overall assessment of our performance, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts and to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies. Our definition may differ from the definitions used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. In addition, other companies may not publish this or similar metrics. Thus, our Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, nor superior to or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA may be limited in its usefulness because it does not provide a complete measure of our operating performance. We compensate for this limitation by providing a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most closely related GAAP financial measure. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure and to view Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with GAAP net income (loss).

The following table provides a reconciliation of GAAP net loss to Adjusted EBITDA:
