Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as "expects," "intends," "anticipates,"
"plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," "will" or words of similar meaning
and include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the outlook for the Company's future business and financial performance.
Forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and assumptions, which are subject to inherent uncertainties,
risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially due to global
political, economic, business, competitive, market, regulatory and other factors and risks, including those described under the
heading "Risk Factors" in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company undertakes no obligation
to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest
expense, provision for (benefit from) income taxes and depreciation and amortization, with further adjustments to reflect the additions
and eliminations of certain income statement items, including (i) gains and losses on foreign currency and fixed assets and debt
transaction expenses, (ii) stock-based compensation and other non-cash charges, (iii) sponsor management fees and other
income and expense items that we consider to be not indicative of our ongoing operations, (iv) specified non-recurring items
and (v) other adjustments.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA is used by investors as a supplemental
measure to evaluate the overall operating performance of companies in our industry. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA (i) as a measurement
to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis, (ii) to calculate incentive compensation for our employees, (iii) for
planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget, (iv) to evaluate the performance and
effectiveness of our operational strategies and (v) to assess compliance with various metrics associated with our agreements governing
our indebtedness. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding
and evaluating our operating performance in the same manner as our management. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income,
the most directly comparable measure determined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), see “RECONCILIATION
OF Q1 2015 NET INCOME GUIDANCE TO ADJUSTED EBITDA GUIDANCE”.
