| Non-GAAP Measure | Definition | How We Use The Measure | ||||||
| Adjusted EBITDA |
• Net income (loss), excluding the effects of:
- depreciation and amortization,
- interest expense,
- interest income,
- other income (expense), net,
- income tax expense (benefit),
- equity-based compensation,
- impairments, and
- other items not reflective of our ongoing operations.
|
• Provides information to management to evaluate and assess our performance and allocate internal resources.
• We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are frequently used by investors and other interested parties in evaluating companies in the retail industry for period-to-period comparisons as they remove the impact of certain items that are not representative of our ongoing business, such as material non-cash items, acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs, significant costs related to certain non-ordinary course legal and regulatory matters, and certain variable charges.
|
||||||
| Adjusted EBITDA Margin | • Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total net revenues. | |||||||
Constant Currency Revenue and Constant Currency Gross Profit |
• Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant.
• We define constant currency revenue and constant currency gross profit as total revenue and gross profit, respectively, excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate movements, and use it to determine the constant currency revenue growth and constant currency gross profit growth on a comparative basis.
• Constant currency revenue and constant currency gross profit are calculated by translating current period revenues and gross profits using the prior period exchange rate.
|
• The effect of currency exchange rates on our business is an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons. Our financial reporting currency is the U.S. dollar (“USD”) and changes in foreign exchange rates can significantly affect our reported results and consolidated trends. For example, our business generates sales predominantly in Korean Won (“KRW”), which are favorably affected as the USD weakens relative to the KRW, and unfavorably affected as the USD strengthens relative to the KRW.
• We use constant currency revenue and constant currency revenue growth, constant currency gross profit and constant currency gross profit growth for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate comparisons between periods. We believe the presentation of our results on a constant currency basis in addition to U.S. GAAP results helps improve the ability to understand our performance because they exclude the effects of foreign currency volatility that are not indicative of our actual results of operations.
|
||||||
| Constant Currency Revenue Growth and Constant Currency Gross Profit Growth | • Constant currency revenue growth and constant currency gross profit growth (as percentages) are calculated by determining the increase in current period revenue and gross profit over prior period revenue and gross profit, where current period foreign currency revenue and gross profit are translated using prior period exchange rates. | |||||||
| Free Cash Flow | • Cash flow from operations Less: purchases of property and equipment, Plus: proceeds from sale of property and equipment. |
• Provides information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated from our ongoing operations that, after purchases and sales of property and equipment, can be used for strategic initiatives, including investing in our business and strengthening our balance sheet, including paying down debt, repurchasing shares of our Class A Common stock, and paying dividends to stockholders. | ||||||
