Use of
Non-GAAP
Financial Measures
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information is
prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). In
evaluating our business, we consider and use certain non-GAAP
measures, Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP gross margin, Non-GAAP
operating loss, Non-GAAP operating loss margin, Non-GAAP EBITDA,
Non-GAAP EBITDA margin, Non-GAAP net loss and Non-GAAP net loss
margin, as supplemental measures to review and assess our operating
performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures
is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute
for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance
with U.S. GAAP. We define Non- GAAP gross profit as gross profit
excluding share-based compensation allocated in the cost of
revenues, and we define Non-GAAP gross margin as Non-GAAP gross
profit as a percentage of revenues. We define Non-GAAP operating
loss as operating loss excluding share-based compensation,
impairment of long-lived assets and amortization of intangible
assets, and we define Non-GAAP operating loss margin as Non-GAAP
operating loss as a percentage of revenues. We define Non-GAAP net
loss as net loss excluding share-based compensation, foreign
exchange (gain) loss and impairment of long-lived assets, and we
define Non-GAAP net loss margin as Non-GAAP net loss as a
percentage of revenues. We define Non-GAAP EBITDA as Non-GAAP net
loss excluding interest income, interest expense, income tax
expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization, and we define
Non-GAAP EBITDA margin as Non-GAAP EBITDA as a percentage of
revenues. We present these non-GAAP financial measures because they
are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance
and formulate business plans. We also believe that the use of these
non-GAAP measures facilitates investors’ assessment of our
operating performance.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S.
GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These
non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools.
One of the key limitations of using these non-GAAP financial
measures is that they do not reflect all items of income and
expense that affect our operations. Further, these non-GAAP
measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other
companies, including peer companies, and therefore their
comparability may be limited.
We compensate for these limitations by reconciling these
non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance
measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating our
performance. We encourage you to review our financial information
in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
