The Company also uses Adjusted EBITDA internally as a performance measure for planning purposes, including forecasting and for calculations of earnout liabilities. Adjusted EBITDA is also used to evaluate the Company’s ability to service debt.These non-GAAP financials measures presented throughout should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, revenue, income from operations, net income, or other financials performance and liquidity measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. 1. Effective July 1, 2020, the Company reassigned a component from the Proprietary Software and Payments segment to the Merchant Services segment to better align the Company's business within its segments.

Pro forma corporate income tax expense is based on Non-GAAP adjusted income before taxes and is calculated using a tax rate of 25.0% for both 2021 and 2020, based on blended federal and state tax rates, considering the Tax Reform Act for 2018. 12. Pro forma adjusted net income assumes that all net income during the period is available to the holders of the Company’s Class A common stock. 13. Cash interest expense, net represents all interest expense net of interest income recorded on the Company's statement of operations other than non-cash interest expense, which represents amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs and any write-offs of debt issuance costs. 14.

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (“ASC 470-20”), convertible debt that may be entirely or partially settled in cash (such as the notes) is required to be separated into a liability and an equity component, such that interest expense reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt interest cost. On the issue date, the value of the exchange option of the notes, representing the equity component was recorded as additional paid-in capital within shareholders’ equity and as a discount to the notes, which reduces their initial carrying value. The carrying value of the notes, net of the discount recorded, was accrued up to the principal amount of such notes from the issue date until maturity. ASC 470-20 does not affect the actual amount that the Issuer is required to repay. The amount shown in the table above for the discount reflects the debt discount for the value of the exchange option.


 
12 2021 Outlook and Revised Presentation We have consistently included in our reported Adjusted Net Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted Diluted EPS an adjustment to remove the effect of purchase accounting write-downs of deferred revenue. We have also included an estimated amount, excluding future acquisitions, in our guidance for Adjusted Net Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted Diluted EPS. The earnings release we issued on May 10, 2021 includes this adjustment to both metrics consistent with our historical approach. As part of the ordinary course SEC comment process, however, we have agreed with the SEC Staff to discontinue adjusting Net Revenue, EBITDA and Pro Forma Diluted EPS to remove the effect of purchase accounting write-downs of deferred revenue beginning with our third fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021. We will continue to provide, separately, as part of our earnings release for the third quarter, the same non-GAAP acquisition revenue adjustment on both a historical basis and our estimate of these amounts for the remainder of the fiscal year. Following is an illustration of how our guidance presentation will be revised to appear beginning with our third fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021.

For the 2021 outlook, the Company has removed the effect of these adjustments to acquisition date fair value from acquisitions that have closed as of the earnings release date. Beginning with our third fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021 we will discontinue removing the effect of the adjustment to beginning balances of acquired deferred revenue. 2.
