$34.2 million , up from$10.6 million in the same year-ago quarter.

Development costs decreased approximately$47,000. G&A expenses for the second quarter of 2021 also included non-cash expenses for stock-based compensation and amortization expenses of$3.3 million . The operating expense increase was primarily associated with investments made to bolster our infrastructure to support a diversified telehealth company that can treat a wide range of recurring indications and primary care.

About the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, we use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS and Platform Contribution which are non-GAAP financial measures to clarify and enhance an understanding of past performance. We believe that the presentation of these financial measures enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance. We further believe that these financial measures are useful financial metrics to assess our operating performance from period-to-period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business and/or reflect discretionary growth investments. We use certain financial measures for business planning purposes and in measuring our performance relative to that of our competitors.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) attributable to common shareholders before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, financing transaction expense, acceleration/ amortization of debt discount, inventory valuation, litigation costs and stock-based compensation expense. We have provided below a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net (loss) attributable to common shareholders, its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
Adjusted EPS is defined as the diluted net loss attributable to LifeMD, Inc common shareholders before stock-based compensation expense and financing transaction expense. We have provided below a reconciliation of Adjusted EPS to Diluted loss per share attributable to LifeMD, Inc common shareholders.
Platform Contribution is defined as operating income (loss) before general and administrative expenses (excluding Payment Processing Fees), selling and marketing expenses and other operating expenses. We consider Platform Contribution an important non-GAAP financial measure which monitors our performance based on the direct variable costs of delivering the products and services we sell across our brands. We believe Platform Contribution is useful to measure whether we are controlling our direct variable costs associated with our platform brands as well as how effectively we retain our providers' patient and customer subscribers.
We believe the above financial measures are commonly used by investors to evaluate our performance and that of our competitors. However, our use of the terms Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS and Platform Contribution may vary from that of others in our industry. None of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS or Platform Contribution should be considered as an alternative to net loss before taxes, net loss, loss per share, operating loss or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of performance.
