Notes to Consolidated Financial Results

(1)The operations of 1st Global are included in the Company's operating results as part of the Wealth Management segment beginning May 6, 2019 when 1st Global was acquired.
(2)As a highly seasonal business, almost all of the Tax Preparation revenue is typically generated in the first four months of the calendar year. In March 2020 and as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, the Internal Revenue Service extended the filing deadline for federal tax returns from April 15, 2020 to July 15, 2020. This filing extension resulted in the shifting of a significant portion of Tax Preparation segment revenue and segment income that is usually earned in the first and second quarters of 2020 to the third quarter of 2020.
(3)We do not allocate certain general and administrative costs (including personnel and overhead costs), stock-based compensation, acquisition and integration costs, depreciation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, executive transition costs, headquarters relocation costs, impairment of goodwill and intangible asset, restructuring, other income/loss, or income taxes to the reportable segments. General and administrative costs are included in "Unallocated corporate operating expenses."
(4)Non-GAAP measure. See Reconciliation of certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures on page 4 for additional information.
(5)Amounts represent the non-cash portion of income taxes. We exclude the non-cash portion of income taxes because of our ability to offset a substantial portion of our cash tax liabilities by using deferred tax assets, which consist primarily of U.S. federal net operating losses. The majority of these net operating losses will expire, if unutilized, between 2020 and 2024.
(6)GAAP income (loss) excludes the impact of noncontrolling interests associated with the HD Vest management rollover equity ownership of 4.48%. The impact of noncontrolling interests is recorded separately and after GAAP income (loss) through December 31, 2018, which was the final measurement date of those ownership interests.
(7)For periods in which non-GAAP net income is generated, non-GAAP net income per share is calculated using diluted weighted average shares outstanding. For periods in which non-GAAP net loss is generated, non-GAAP net loss per share is calculated using basic weighted average shares outstanding.

Notes to Reconciliations of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures to the Nearest Comparable GAAP Measures

(1)We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Blucora, Inc., determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding the effects of stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring, other loss, net, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, acquisition and integration costs, income tax (benefit) expense, the impairment of goodwill and an intangible asset, executive transition costs, and headquarters relocation costs. Restructuring costs relate to the relocation of our corporate headquarters that were completed in 2018. Acquisition and integration costs relate to the acquisition of 1st Global and the acquisition of HKFS. The impairment of an intangible asset relates to the impairment of the HD Vest trade name intangible asset. The impairment of goodwill relates to the impairment of our Wealth Management reporting unit goodwill that was recognized in the first quarter of 2020. Executive transition costs relate to the departure of certain company executives in the first quarter of 2020. Headquarters relocation costs relate to the process of moving to our Dallas and Irving offices to our new headquarters office.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance. We use this non-GAAP financial measure for internal management and compensation purposes, when publicly providing guidance on possible future results, and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a common measure used by investors and analysts to evaluate our performance, that it provides a more complete understanding of the results of operations and trends affecting our business when viewed together with GAAP results, and that management and investors benefit from referring to this non-GAAP financial measure. Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant and necessary components to the operations of our business and, therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, GAAP net income (loss). Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently and, therefore, our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

We define non-GAAP net income (loss) as net income (loss) attributable to Blucora, Inc., determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding the effects of stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, the impairment of goodwill and an intangible asset, gain on the sale of a business, acquisition and integration costs, executive transition costs, headquarters relocation costs, restructuring costs, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, the related cash tax impact of those adjustments, and non-cash income taxes. We exclude the non-cash portion of income taxes because of our ability to offset a substantial portion of our cash tax liabilities by using deferred tax assets, which primarily consist of U.S. federal net operating losses. The majority of these net operating losses will expire, if unutilized, between 2020 and 2024.

We believe that non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share provide meaningful supplemental information to management, investors, and analysts regarding our performance and the valuation of our business by excluding items in the statement of operations that we do not consider part of our ongoing operations or have not been, or are not expected to be, settled in cash. Additionally, we believe that non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share are common measures used by investors and analysts to evaluate our performance and the valuation of our business. Non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share should be evaluated in light of our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP net income (loss) per share. Other companies may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently, and, therefore, our non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

(2)As presented in the Blucora Consolidated Financial Results (unaudited) on page 2.

(3)For periods in which non-GAAP net income is generated, non-GAAP net income per share is calculated using diluted weighted average shares outstanding. For periods in which non-GAAP net loss is generated, non-GAAP net loss per share is calculated using basic weighted average shares outstanding.

(1)Tax season begins on the first day that the IRS begins accepting e-files and ends on filing deadline day plus one day. As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, the IRS extended the filing deadline for federal tax returns relating to the 2019 tax year to July 15, 2020. In order to provide comparable prior period data, we also provided e-file information for the equivalent period in 2019.
(2)We participate in the Free File Alliance that is part of an IRS partnership that provides free electronic tax filing services to taxpayers meeting certain income-based guidelines. Free File Alliance e-files are included within total e-files and consumer e-files above.
