(1) Non-GAAP Financial Measures

“Adjusted revenues” excludes the effect of purchase accounting on the fair value of acquired deferred revenue. On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2021-08 whereby it now accounts for contract assets and contract liabilities obtained upon a business combination in accordance with ASC 606. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2021-08, we recorded at fair value the acquired deferred revenue for contracts in effect at the time the entities were acquired. Consequently, revenue related to acquired entities for periods subsequent to the acquisition did not reflect the full amount of revenue that would have been recorded by these entities had they remained stand-alone entities. Adjusted revenues has limitations as a financial measure, should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for revenue prepared in accordance with GAAP.

“Adjusted EBITDA” represents net income (loss) before deferred revenue fair value adjustment, interest income, interest expense, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization, non-cash compensation expense, restructuring charges and transaction costs, severance, accretion on contingent consideration and purchase liability, fair market value adjustment on contingent consideration liability, fair market value adjustment on investment in private company, non-recurring litigation and regulatory related expenses, foreign currency, gain on settlement of liability, gain on insurance reimbursement, dilution gain on equity method investee share issuance, non-income tax expense adjustment, loss allocations from equity method investments and (income) loss attributable to non-controlling interest.

“Adjusted net income” represents net income before deferred revenue fair value adjustment, non-cash interest expense, cash interest on our Convertible Notes (subsequent to the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021), non-cash compensation expense, restructuring charges and transaction costs, severance, accretion on contingent consideration and purchase liability, fair market value adjustment to contingent consideration liability, fair market value adjustment to investment in private company, amortization of acquired intangibles, non-recurring litigation and regulatory related expenses, foreign currency, gain on settlement of liability, gain on insurance reimbursement, non-income tax expense adjustment, dilution gain on equity method investee share issuance, loss allocations from equity method investments and (income) loss attributable to non-controlling interest. Reconciling items are presented gross of tax, and a normalized tax rate is applied to the total of all reconciling items to arrive at adjusted net income. The normalized tax rate is based solely on the estimated blended statutory income tax rates in the jurisdictions in which we operate. We monitor the normalized tax rate based on events or trends that could materially impact the rate, including tax legislation changes and changes in the geographic mix of our operations.

“Adjusted net income per diluted share” represents adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders divided by the diluted number of weighted-average shares outstanding. Beginning January 1, 2021, the dilutive effect of our Convertible Notes are calculated using the if-converted method in accordance with the adoption of ASU 2020-06 (See “Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”). As a result, 9.9 million potential shares to be issued in connection with our Convertible Notes are assumed to be dilutive for purposes of the adjusted net income per share calculation beginning January 1, 2021.

See reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures on pages 11-17 of this press release. Reconciliations are not provided for guidance on such measures as the Company is unable to predict the amounts to be adjusted, such as the GAAP tax provision. The Company’s Non-GAAP Financial Measures should not be viewed as a substitute for revenues, net income (loss) or net income (loss) per share determined in accordance with GAAP.
