Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

To supplement our financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, we use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures, for business planning purposes and in measuring our performance relative to that of our competitors. EBITDA consists of net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA consists of net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation. A reconciliation of these Non-GAAP financial measures is presented below to net loss, which we believe is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance and are useful financial metrics to assess our operating performance from period-to-period by excluding certain items that we believe are not comparable across reporting periods or that do not otherwise relate to the Company’s ongoing operating results.

Our use of the term EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may vary from that of others in our industry. Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA should be considered as an alternative to net loss or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of performance.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have important limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

• does not reflect the significant interest expense on our debt; and
  
  
• eliminates the impact of income taxes on our results of operations; and
  
  
• although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and both measures do not reflect any expenditures for such replacements; and
  
  
• other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as comparative measures.

Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant non-cash stock compensation expense which should be viewed as a component of recurring operating costs.

In evaluating these financial measures, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses like those eliminated in this presentation. Our presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.
