Reconciliation of Key Performance Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Certain measures used in this press release, including Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA Margin, are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these are useful financial measures for investors as they are supplemental measures used by management in evaluating our core operating performance. Our non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results under GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures versus their nearest GAAP equivalents. First, these non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Second, these non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information directly comparable to measures provided by other companies in our industry, as those other companies may calculate their non-GAAP financial measures differently.
The following tables include reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
