Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), the Company has provided the following non-GAAP financial measures in this release and the accompanying table: Adjusted EBITDA. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to analyze its operating performance and liquidity and believes they are useful as a supplement to GAAP measures in analyzing, trending and benchmarking the performance and value of our business across reporting periods as they exclude items that management believes are not reflective of the operating performance of the Company. As a result, these non-GAAP measures are provided to supplement investors' overall understanding of, and an enhanced level of transparency into, the Company's financial performance. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with traditional GAAP operating performance measures as part of its overall assessment of its performance, for planning purposes, including the preparation of its annual operating budget, and to evaluate the effectiveness of its business strategies. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is also required by the covenants in the Company's credit agreement to be delivered to its lender. Management does not place undue reliance on Adjusted EBITDA as its only measure of operating performance, and in fact, Adjusted EBITDA is not presented as an alternative measure of operating performance, as determined in accordance with GAAP; nor should it be considered a substitute for, or superior to the comparable GAAP measures. Rather, these measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP. No other adjustments were made during the three month periods and fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. These measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA (loss) to exclude discontinued operations, debt issuance cost amortization, gain on change in warranty liability, accretion of discount on convertible notes, interest expense on convertible note, depreciation, amortization of licenses, non-cash stock-based compensation, restricted stock issuance expense and severance. For reconciliation under GAAP to the Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA see Table A that is included in the tables accompanying this release.
