Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes discussions of Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net
income per share, which are non-GAAP financial measures provided as a complement to results
provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAP). The term Adjusted EBITDA refers to a financial measure that we define as
earnings before net interest and other income (expense), income taxes, depreciation, amortization,
stock-based compensation and litigation related costs and recoveries. The term non-GAAP net
income refers to a financial measure that we define as net income before stock-based compensation,
amortization of acquired intangible assets, litigation related costs and
recoveries, impairment charges and certain tax adjustments. Non-GAAP net income is also provided
on a per share basis, using shares outstanding at the relevant period of measurement. Adjusted
EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share are not substitutes for measures
determined in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net
income and non-GAAP net income per share as reported by other companies. We believe Adjusted EBITDA
to be relevant and useful information to our investors as this measure is an integral part of our
internal management reporting and planning process and is the primary measure used by our
management to evaluate the operating performance of our business. The components of Adjusted
EBITDA include the key revenue and expense items for which our operating managers are responsible
and upon which we evaluate their performance, and we also use Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes
and in presentations to our board of directors. We believe non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net
income per share to be relevant and useful information to our investors as they provide meaningful
insight into the Companys performance while excluding infrequent and non-recurring items that may
not be considered directly related to our on-going business operations. We believe that non-GAAP
net income and non-GAAP net income per share are also used by companies and investors to evaluate
comparable performance in the online marketplace and platform industry. We also believe that
Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share allow for a more accurate
comparison of our operating results over historical periods. A limitation of Adjusted EBITDA,
non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share is that they do not include all items that
impact our net income for the period. Management compensates for this limitation by also relying on
the comparable GAAP financial measure of net income, which includes the items that are excluded
from Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share. Management believes
that these non-GAAP measures should be considered as a complement to, and not as a substitute for,
or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of
these non-GAAP measures to GAAP is provided in the attached tables.
