Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release, including non-GAAP gross profit, operating income (loss), net loss, net loss per common share, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance or financial position 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. 

Non-GAAP gross profit, operating income (loss), net loss and net loss per share exclude stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, offering costs expensed, if any and costs not core to our business, if any.  We define adjusted EBITDA as net loss before net interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense, adjusted to eliminate stock-based compensation expense, expense related to the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, and costs not core to our business.  We define free cash flow as cash from operations plus purchases of property and equipment.  Please note that other companies might define their non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do.

Management presents these non-GAAP financial measures in this release because it considers them to be important supplemental measures of performance. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, including analysis of the company's performance against prior periods, the preparation of operating budgets and to determine appropriate levels of operating and capital investments. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional insight for analysts and investors in evaluating the company's financial and operational performance. Management also intends to provide these non-GAAP financial measures as part of the company’s future earnings discussions and, therefore, their inclusion should provide consistency in the company’s financial reporting.

Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures provided in this release, including in the accompanying tables.

Slide 3

Overview of New Revenue Standard (ASC 606) Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods and services. Professional Services: Revenue will either be recognized over the contract term of the associated software services contract or over the period of delivery of the professional fees, both of which are typically shorter than the customer relationship period that was previously used under ASC 605. Brokerage Commissions: Commission revenue will be recognized when the orders for the underlying policies have been taken and transferred to the insurance carrier. As a result, revenue from these arrangements will be recognized as a lump sum and in earlier periods under the new standard in comparison to ASC 605 and the timing and amount of revenue recognized for annual and interim periods will change. Deferral & Amortization of Commission and Fullfillment Costs: Assets recognized for the costs to obtain a contract, primarily sales commissions, will be amortized in a consistent manner with the transfer of the services to which the asset relates. Assets recognized for the costs to fulfill a contract will be amortized in a manner consistent with the transfer of the services to which the asset relates.
