In its earnings releases, conference calls, slide presentations or webcasts, the Company may use or discuss adjusted EBITDA and adjusted gross margin, which are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC Regulation G. Management regularly reviews adjusted EBITDA as an analytical indicator of the Company’s financial performance and believes that it is useful to investors in evaluating operating performance. In addition, the Company uses adjusted EBITDA as a measure of performance for its business segments and for incentive compensation purposes.

This press release also references advertising efficiency, which the Company believes is a useful metric for assessing operating performance. Advertising efficiency is the amount spent on media during a period, including amounts spent on television, online and print media spending, divided by net revenue received during the same period. The Company believes that adjusted gross margin and advertising efficiency are useful measures of the performance of our meal delivery business. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross margin and advertising efficiency, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The Company does not intend for adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross margin or advertising efficiency to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any GAAP measure.
