APPENDIX
Credit Adjusted EBITDA: Our Credit Agreement defines Adjusted EBITDA (which we call “Credit Adjusted EBITDA”) as net income b efo re ( i) interest
expense, (ii) interest income, (iii) provision for income taxes, (iv) depreciation and amortization expense, (v) stock -based com pensation, (vi) contingent
consideration, (vii) acquisition and related expenses, and (viii) certain other items.
We supplementally present Credit Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key operating measure used by our management to assess our f ina ncial
performance. Credit Adjusted EBITDA adjusts for items that we believe do not reflect the ongoing operating performance of our bu siness, such as
certain noncash items, unusual or infrequent items or items that change from period to period without any material relevance to our operating
performance. Management believes Credit Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and analysts in highlighting trends in our ope rat ing performance,
while other measures can differ significantly depending on long -term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax ju risdictions in which we
operate and capital investments. Management uses Credit Adjusted EBITDA to supplement GAAP measures of performance in the eva lua tion of the
effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, and to compare our performance against other peer comp ani es using similar
measures. We evaluate Credit Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with our results according to GAAP because we believe it provides in vestors and analysts
a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than GAAP measures alone. Credit Adjusted EBITDA s hou ld not be
considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as a measure of financial performance, or any other performance measure der ive d in accordance
with GAAP.
