*About Non-GAAP Financial Information

This presentation  press release includes ex-TAC Gross Profit, Adjusted EBITDA, Ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to ex-TAC Gross Profit and Free Cash Flow, which are non-GAAP financial measures.
 
We define Ex-TAC Gross Profit as gross profit plus other cost of revenues.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before financial expenses (income), tax expenses, depreciation and amortization, shared-based compensation expenses and M&A costs.

We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided (used in) operating expenses minus purchases of property and equipment, including capitalized platform costs.

We define Ratio of Net income (loss) to Gross profit as Net income (loss) divided by Gross profit. We define Ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to ex-TAC Gross Profit, a non-GAAP measure, as Adjusted EBITDA divided by ex-TAC Gross Profit.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to revenues, gross profit, net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP. You should be aware that the Company’s presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
 
The Company believes non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors regarding future financial and business trends relating to the Company. The Company believes that the use of these measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating operating results and trends and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. Non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations because they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which items are excluded or included in calculating them. Please refer to the “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” tables above for reconciliations to the most directly comparable measures in accordance with GAAP.
