We include in this press release Non-GAAP operational metrics of adjusted EBITDA which we believe provides helpful information to investors with respect to evaluating the Company’s performance.

We do not consider these items to be indicative of our core operating performance. The items that are non-cash include depreciation and amortization expense and stock-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure used by management to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends and to generate future operating plans, make strategic decisions regarding allocation of capital and invest in initiatives that are focused on cultivating new markets for our solutions.
