Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the financial measures presented in this release in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share.

The Company uses such non-GAAP financial measures as internal measures of business operating performance and as performance measures for benchmarking against the Company's peers and competitors. The Company believes its presentation of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share provides a meaningful perspective of the underlying operating performance of the Company's current business and enables investors to better understand and evaluate its historical and prospective operating performance. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are important supplemental measures of operating performance because they exclude items that vary from period to period without correlation to the Company's core operating performance and highlight trends in its business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. Due to the nature of the items being excluded, such items do not reflect future gains, losses, expenses or benefits and are not indicative of the Company's future operating performance. The Company believes investors, analysts and other interested parties use adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share in evaluating issuers, and the presentation of these measures facilitates a comparative assessment of the Company's operating performance in addition to the Company's performance based on GAAP results.

The Company's non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or net income (loss) per share as a measure of financial performance or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP and should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for income tax provision, interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization, impairment of intangible assets, common stock warrant liability adjustment, stock-based compensation, and charges related to certain legal matters.

Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for impairment of intangible assets, common stock warrant liability adjustment, stock-based compensation, and charges related to certain legal matters. Adjusted net income (loss) per share is defined as adjusted net income (loss) divided by the basic weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding.

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share are not recognized terms under GAAP, and the Company's presentation of these non-GAAP measures does not replace the presentation of the Company's financial results in accordance with GAAP. Because all companies do not use adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share (and similarly titled financial measures) in the same way, those measures as used by other companies may not be consistent with the way the Company calculates such measures. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this release should not be construed as substitutes for or better indicators of the Company's performance than the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. See the reconciliation tables that accompany this release for additional information regarding certain of the non-GAAP financial measures included herein.

A reconciliation of the Company's guidance contained in this press release with respect to non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts and is not provided herein because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, the amounts of which could be material.
