Information about Non-GAAP Financial
As used herein, "GAAP" refers
to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements
prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, this earnings release includes Adjusted EBITDA and monthly net cash burn from operations,
which are non-GAAP financial measures as defined in Rule 101 of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's historical or future performance, financial position,
or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure
calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered
in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. We use this non-GAAP
financial measure for internal financial and operational decision-making purposes and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons
of the performance and results of operations of our core businesses. Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide
meaningful supplemental information regarding the performance of our businesses by excluding non-cash expenses that may not be indicative
of our recurring operating results. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors as they allow for greater transparency
with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making.

earnings (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization expense.

as EBITDA adjusted to exclude (i) stock-based compensation and (ii) other non-cash expenses and non-cash gains/income.
