Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

InfoSpace’s Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adjusting GAAP net income (loss) to exclude the effects of discontinued operations, income taxes, depreciation, stock-based compensation expense, loss on investments and other income, net (including such items as interest income, foreign currency gains or losses, and gains or losses from the disposal of assets), as detailed in the accompanying table to the preliminary unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

InfoSpace’s management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance by excluding certain expenses and gains that are not indicative of its core business operating results. InfoSpace believes that management and investors benefit from referring to this non-GAAP financial measure in assessing InfoSpace’s performance. Adjusted EBITDA should be evaluated in light of the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. A table reconciling the Company's Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) in accordance with GAAP accompanies the preliminary unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this release.

(1) Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") is a non-GAAP financial measure and is reconciled to net income (loss), which the Company's management believes to be the most comparable generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") measure.  Adjusted EBITDA results are calculated by adjusting GAAP net income (loss) to exclude the effects of discontinued operations, income taxes, depreciation, stock-based compensation expense, loss on investments, net, and other income, net (including such items as interest income, litigation settlements and contingencies, foreign currency gains or losses, and gains or losses from the disposal of assets), as detailed above.  The Company uses this non-GAAP financial measure for internal management purposes, when publicly providing guidance on possible future results, and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons.  The Company's management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is a common measure used by investors and analysts to evaluate its performance.  This non-GAAP financial measure is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company's operations that, when viewed with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of the results of operations and trends affecting the Company's business.  This non-GAAP financial measure should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, net income (loss) in accordance with GAAP.

 

(2) As presented in the Preliminary Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (unaudited).

 

(3) Other income, net, primarily consists of interest income, gains or losses from the disposal of assets, and foreign currency transaction gains or losses.
