(1)Quantitative information on the number of consumer e-files, professional tax software e-files, professional units sold, and professional e-files per unit sold has been excluded from the Supplemental Information this quarter because we do not view the comparison of these metrics to prior quarters as meaningful in light of the extension of the filing and payment deadline for tax year 2020 federal tax returns from April 15, 2021 to May 17, 2021, as well as the extension of the federal filing and payment deadlines to mid-June for Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma.

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. The operations of HKFS are included in the Company's operating results as part of the Wealth Management segment beginning July 1, 2020 when HKFS was acquired.
(2)As a highly seasonal business, almost all of the Tax Software revenue is typically generated in the first two quarters of the calendar year. In March 2020 and as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") 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 Software segment revenue and segment income that is usually earned in the first and second quarters of 2020 to the third quarter of 2020. As a result of the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the IRS delayed the start of the 2021 tax season and extended the filing and payment deadline for tax year 2020 federal tax returns from April 15, 2021 to May 17, 2021. In addition, the IRS extended the federal filing and payment deadline for Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma to mid-June.We expect that these events will result in the shifting of a significant portion of Tax Software segment revenue and segment income that would typically have been expected to be earned in the first quarter of 2021 to the second quarter of 2021.
(3)We do not allocate certain general and administrative costs (including personnel and overhead costs), stock-based compensation, depreciation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition and integration costs, executive transition costs, headquarters relocation costs, contested proxy and other legal and consulting costs, impairment of goodwill and an intangible asset, 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 to the Nearest Applicable GAAP Measures on page 5 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 either be utilized or expire between 2021 and 2024.
(6)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), determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding the effects of stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization of acquired intangible assets, other loss, net, acquisition and integration costs, impairment of goodwill and an intangible asset, executive transition costs, headquarters relocation costs, contested proxy and other legal and consulting costs, and income tax (benefit) expense. Other loss, net primarily constitutes our interest expense, net of interest income. Acquisition and integration costs relate to the acquisition of HKFS and the acquisition of 1st Global. The impairment of goodwill relates to the impairment of our Wealth Management reporting unit goodwill in the first quarter of 2020. The impairment of an intangible asset relates to the impairment of the HD Vest trade name intangible asset in the third quarter of 2019. 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 from our former Dallas and Irving offices to our new headquarters.
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 as net income (loss), determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding the effects of stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition and integration costs, impairment of goodwill and an intangible asset, executive transition costs, headquarters relocation costs, contested proxy and other legal and consulting costs, non-capitalized debt issuance expenses, the related cash tax impact of those adjustments, and non-cash income tax (benefit) expense. 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 either be utilized or expire between 2021 and 2024. Gain on the sale of a business relates to the disposition of SimpleTax in the third quarter of 2019 and the subsequent working capital adjustment in the third quarter of 2020. Non-capitalized debt issuance expense relates to the expense recognized as a result of the increase to our term loan.
We believe that non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income 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 and non-GAAP net income per share are common measures used by investors and analysts to evaluate our performance and the valuation of our business. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income 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 net income (loss) per share. Other companies may calculate non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share differently, and, therefore, our non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income 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 3.
(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) We define net debt, a non-GAAP financial measure, as cash and cash equivalents less the outstanding principal of debt. Management believes that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors because it is an important liquidity measurement that reflects our ability to service our debt.
(2) Non-GAAP measure using Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months. Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve month period is reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure on this page.
(3) Net leverage ratio is calculated by dividing net debt by Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months.
(4) For additional information on Adjusted EBITDA and its use as a non-GAAP measure, see page 6.

____________________________
(1) The increase in financial professionals in the third quarter of 2020 resulted from the addition of 19 in-house financial professionals (licensed financial planning consultants, which are employees of HKFS) and 131 licensed referring representatives at CPA firms that partner with HKFS.
(2) Full year advisory and commission revenue per financial professional is based upon a full year of advisory and commission revenue.
(3) Quarterly production retention rate is a newly-disclosed business metric and non-GAAP financial measure. We believe quarterly production retention rate is an important measure of our quarterly retention of financial professional-driven revenue (which consists of advisory revenue and commission revenue). Management uses quarterly production retention rate to measure the impact of financial professional departures on our business. Quarterly production retention rate is calculated by subtracting (a) financial professional-driven revenue for the trailing-twelve-month period then ended related to independent financial professionals that departed in the quarter from (b) total financial professional-driven revenue for the trailing-twelve-month period then ended, and then dividing the difference by (c) total financial professional-driven revenue for the trailing-twelve-month period then ended. As quarterly production retention rate is a measure of retention during a quarter, it also includes quarterly production from independent financial professionals who departed in prior quarters in the trailing-twelve-month period, and therefore does not show production retention rate over longer periods of time.
(4) For the trailing-twelve-month period then ended.
