APPENDIX
21
Non-GAAP Financial Measure and Operational Metric
Adjusted Unrestricted Operating Cash Flow
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP), the Company uses a Non -GAAP measure of financial performance: Adjusted Unrestricted
Operating Cash Flow, which is defined as GAAP net cash from operating activities, adjusted for changes in
restricted cash. The Company’s management believes it is important to consider Adjusted Unrestricted
Operating Cash Flow, in addition to net cash from operating activities, as it provides more transparency into
current business trends without regard to the timing of payments from restricted cash, which is primarily
related to a dedicated account limited to the payment of certain internal royalty obligations.
This Non -GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or
superior to, GAAP results. This Non -GAAP financial measure may be different from similarly titled measures
used by other companies. In the future, Take -Two may also consider whether other items should also be
excluded in calculating this Non- GAAP financial measure used by the Company. Management believes that
the presentation of this Non -GAAP financial measure provides investors with additional useful information
to measure Take- Two’s financial and operating performance. In particular, this measure facilitates
comparison of our operating performance between periods and may help investors to understand better the
operating results of Take- Two. Internally, management uses this Non- GAAP financial measure in assessing
the Company’s operating results and in planning and forecasting.
Net Bookings
Net Bookings is defined as the net amount of products and services sold digitally or sold -in physically
during the period, and includes licensing fees, merchandise, in- game advertising, strategy guides and
publisher incentives.
