Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes the following financial measures defined as "non-GAAP financial measures" by the Securities and Exchange Commission:

  • Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA which represents income from operations with the addition of depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense and any change in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities;

  • Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Cash Flow, which represents net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, excluding the adjustment for cash tax benefits arising from option exercises and the pre-payment of VAT assessments in the United Kingdom;

  • Non-GAAP Earnings per Diluted Share, which represents earnings per diluted share, excluding the gain from the sale of Echo Global Logistics stock.

We believe that Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA , Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Cash Flow and Non-GAAP Earnings per Diluted Share provide useful information to investors because they provide information about the estimated financial performance of the Company's ongoing business. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Cash Flow and Non-GAAP Earnings per Diluted Share are used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and evaluation of overall operating performance. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA , Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Cash Flow and Non-GAAP Earnings per Diluted Share may be different from similar measures used by other companies.
