Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to providing financial measurements based on generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), the Company provides additional financial metrics
that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP ("non-GAAP"). The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release
are Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross profit and Adjusted gross margin. The Company presents non-GAAP financial measures in order to assist
readers of its condensed consolidated financial statements in understanding the core operating results that its management uses to evaluate
the business and for financial planning purposes. The Company's non-GAAP financial measures, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross profit
and Adjusted gross margin, provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing the Company's financial performance over
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross profit and Adjusted gross margin are
key performance measures that the Company's management uses to assess its operating performance. These non-GAAP measures facilitate
internal comparisons of the Company's operating performance on a more consistent basis. The Company uses these performance measures
for business planning purposes and forecasting. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross profit and Adjusted gross margin
enhance an investor's understanding of the Company's financial performance as they are useful in assessing its operating
performance from period-to-period by excluding certain items that the Company believes are not representative of its core business.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross profit and Adjusted gross margin may
not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate these measures in the same manner. Adjusted
EBITDA, Adjusted gross profit and Adjusted gross margin are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation
of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. When evaluating the Company's performance, you should consider
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross profit and Adjusted gross margin alongside other financial performance measures prepared in accordance
with GAAP, including net loss, gross profit, and gross margin.
The non-GAAP financial measures do not replace the presentation of
the Company's GAAP financial results and should only be used as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, the Company's financial
results presented in accordance with GAAP. In this press release, the Company has provided a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net
loss, Adjusted gross profit to gross profit, and Adjusted gross margin to gross margin, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross profit and Adjusted gross margin to corresponding GAAP measures is not available
on a forward-looking basis because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the non-cash component of employee compensation
expense, changes in its working capital needs, variances in its supply chain, the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters
the Company considers not to be reflective, on a recurring basis, of its ongoing operations, and other such items without unreasonable
effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to the Company's results computed in accordance
with GAAP. Management strongly encourages investors to review the Company's financial statements and publicly filed reports in
their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.
