Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S.(“GAAP”), and should not be construed as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP net loss. However, management uses both the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate and manage the Company’s operations and to better understand its business. Further, management believes that the addition of the non-GAAP financial measures provides meaningful supplementary information to, and facilitates analysis by, investors in evaluating the Company’s financial performance, results of operations and trends. The Company’s calculation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly designated measures reported by other companies, because companies and investors may differ as to what type of events warrant adjustment.
The following table reconciles reported net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:
