“We are very pleased to report record net quarterly revenue and positive cash flow, both significant milestones for Nephros,” said Andy Astor, retiring President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are particularly pleased that cash flow turned positive several months earlier than our forecast for mid-2023.

Fin
anci
al Performance
for the Quarter Ended
March 31, 2023

Net revenue from continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, was $3.7 million, compared to $2.2 million in the corresponding period in 2022, an increase of 71%.

Net loss from continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, was $0.3 million, compared to $1.6 million during the same period in 2022. The decrease in net loss from continuing operations was driven by increased revenue and gross margins and decreased research and development costs.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, was $0.1 million, compared to ($1.2 million) during the same period in 2022.

Cost of goods sold for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was $1.6 million, compared with $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, an increase of 43%. Gross margins for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 were 57%, compared with 49% during the same period in 2022. The increase of approximately 8%, reflecting a return to target gross margins of 55-60%, was driven by price increases implemented in 2022, reductions in shipping expenses, and improved management of inventory reserves.

Research and development expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, were $0.2 million, compared with $0.4 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Depreciation and amortization expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 were approximately $54,000, compared with approximately $51,000 for the corresponding period in 2022.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, were approximately $2.1 million compared with approximately $2.2 million for the corresponding period in 2022.

As of March 31, 2023, Nephros had cash and cash equivalents of $3.8 million, compared to $3.6 million as of December 31, 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA Definition and Reconciliation to GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is calculated by taking net loss from continuing operations calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and excluding all interest-related expenses and income, tax-related expenses and income, non-recurring expenses and income, and non-cash items, including depreciation, amortization, non-cash compensation, and inventory reserve. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to net loss from continuing operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, for the first quarter of the 2023 and 2022 fiscal years:

Nephros believes that Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Nephros’ financial condition and results of operations. Management does not consider Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is that it excludes significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recognized in Nephros’ financial statements. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is subject to inherent limitations as it reflects the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations. To compensate for these limitations, management presents Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations in connection with net income loss from continuing operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Nephros urges investors to review the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to net income loss from continuing operations and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the business.

DoubleVerify Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Increased Revenue by 27% Year-over-Year to $122.6 Million Driven by Global Growth in Social and CTV Measurement and Programmatic Activation

Achieved Net Income of $12.2 Million and Adjusted EBITDA of $35.9 Million, representing a 29% Adjusted EBITDA margin

Exceeded First Quarter Expectations and Raised Full Year 2023 Guidance to 24% Total Revenue Growth and 31% Adjusted EBITDA Margins at the Midpoints of New Guidance Ranges

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
DoubleVerify (“DV”) (NYSE: DV), a leading software platform for digital media measurement, data and analytics, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

“DV has once again delivered a powerful combination of strong revenue growth and profitability that has exceeded expectations,” said Mark Zagorski, CEO of DoubleVerify. “Our growth continues to significantly outpace our competitors and the broader industry. We grew revenue 27% year over year in Q1, fueled by market share gains across our three business lines, each of which delivered double-digit growth. The first quarter’s exceptional performance was driven by existing customers meaningfully expanding their use of DV’s programmatic, Social, and CTV products as well as recently won international customers ramping business on our platform. Both are a testament to the unique utility and value our solutions deliver in reducing media waste and maximizing campaign effectiveness. Today, we are raising our full-year 2023 revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance based on strong first-quarter results and our improved outlook for the rest of this year.”

First Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights:

(All comparisons are to the first quarter of 2022)

  • Activation revenue of $69.9 million, an increase of 32%.

  • Supply-Side revenue of $11.3 million, an increase of 15%.

  • Net income of $12.2 million and adjusted EBITDA of $35.9 million, which represented a 29% adjusted EBITDA margin.

First Quarter and Recent Business Highlights:

  • Grew Total Advertiser revenue by 28% year-over-year in the first quarter primarily due to a 25% increase in Media Transactions Measured (“MTM”) and a 3% increase in Measured Transaction Fee (“MTF”), and continued to achieve a Gross Revenue Retention rate of over 95% in the first quarter.

  • Grew premium-priced Authentic Brand Suitability (ABS) revenues by 56% year-over-year in the first quarter driven by large existing global advertisers as well as by new customer activations.

  • Drove global market share growth through product upsells, international expansion, and new enterprise logo wins. Notable first-quarter new business wins include:

    • New enterprise customer wins: Swarovski, Daikin, Mattress Firm, Evoke Health, and NY Presbyterian

  • Launched new product and platform offerings including:

With this release, DV Authentic Attention® is the only MRC-accredited attention solution spanning programmatic activation through measurement.

  • Partnered with Publicis Media and leading brands such as Kraft Heinz, Reckitt, and Comcast to conduct first-of-its-kind research detailing factors influencing brand safety and suitability.

  • Ranked in the top 1% of all data providers scored by Neutronian in their transparency ratings and renewed its “Cookieless Certification” badge, an independent verification that as a data provider, DV is future-proofed for the depreciation of third-party cookies.

“Following a strong 2022, we continued to outpace the digital advertising industry with 27% revenue growth and delivered 29% adjusted EBITDA margins in the first quarter,” said Nicola Allais, CFO of DoubleVerify. “Our outperformance was powered by our global teams whose excellent execution has consistently generated strong results. We continue to invest in our people and build our capabilities and technology and are focused on growing our engineering and data science talent while expanding our global footprint. We’re excited about our solid pipeline of new and expansionary business opportunities and with nearly $286 million dollars of cash and zero debt on our balance sheet, we are well-positioned to drive further business expansion and accelerate our long-term growth.”

Second Quarter and Full-Year 2023 Guidance:

DoubleVerify anticipates Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA to be in the following ranges:

Second Quarter 2023:

  • Revenue of $131 to $135 million, a year-over-year increase of 21% at the midpoint.

  • Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $37 to $39 million, representing a 29% margin at the midpoint.

Full Year 2023:

  • Revenue of $557 to $569 million, a year-over-year increase of 24% at the midpoint.

  • Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $171 to $179 million, representing a 31% margin at the midpoint.

With respect to the Company’s expectations under “Second Quarter and Full Year 2023 Guidance” above, the Company has not reconciled the non-GAAP measure Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP measure net income in this press release because the Company does not provide guidance for stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, acquisition-related costs, interest income, and income taxes on a consistent basis as the Company is unable to quantify these amounts without unreasonable efforts, which would be required to include a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income. In addition, the Company believes such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors.

Conference Call, Webcast and Other Information

DoubleVerify will host a conference call and live webcast to discuss its first quarter 2023 financial results at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time today, May 10, 2023. To access the conference call, dial (877) 841-2987 for the U.S. or Canada, or (215) 268-9878 for international callers. The webcast will be available live on the Investors section of the Company’s website at https://ir.doubleverify.com/. An archived webcast will be available approximately two hours after the conclusion of the live event.

In addition, DoubleVerify plans to post certain additional historical quarterly financial information on the investor relations portion of its website for easy access to investors.

Adjusted EBITDA

In addition to results determined in accordance with GAAP, Management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, are useful in evaluating our business. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP.

We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as measures of operational efficiency to understand and evaluate our core business operations. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors for period to period comparisons of the core business and for understanding and evaluating trends in operating results on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations of these measures are:

  • they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs;

  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect capital expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

  • they do not reflect income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay income taxes;

  • they do not reflect interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal debt payments; and

  • although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges related mainly to intangible assets, certain assets being depreciated and amortized will have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

In addition, other companies in the industry may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently, therefore limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure. You should compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using the non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally.

LIVONIA, Mich., May 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alta Equipment Group Inc. (NYSE: ALTG) (“Alta”), a leading provider of premium material handling, construction and environmental processing equipment and related services, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

CEO Comment:

Ryan Greenawalt, Chief Executive Officer of Alta, said “Our business is off to a solid start this year, with revenues increasing $89.0 million, or 26.8%, to $420.7 million, which included strong organic growth as well as contributions from our recent acquisitions. All our lines of business performed well and the trends for this year are encouraging. New and used equipment sales increased 44.9%, or $68.0 million, to $219.6 million. Continued strong labor utilization drove product support revenue growth of 26.6%, or $27.0 million, to $128.6 million versus a year ago. Our product support revenue will continue to be a growing recurring revenue stream for our business.”

Mr. Greenawalt continued, “Supply chain headwinds continued to abate during the first quarter as our product inventory increased to a more normalized level, and we were able to deliver more machines to customers as evidenced by the increase in new equipment sales. We are encouraged by the increase in product availability from our manufacturing partners. Backlogs remain high, and we are not experiencing order cancellations from our customers. As it relates to our Construction segment, market fundamentals remain favorable. As we have pointed out previously, we have benefitted from our presence in Florida and demand there remains strong as state DOT funding is forecast to increase nearly 20.0% in fiscal year 2024. As projected, a significant amount of federal and state funding across our footprint will be allocated for major infrastructure projects, aligning well with our product portfolio. Our Material Handling segment, in particular our warehouse systems integration business, also continues to see strong demand as customers seek to automate processes and leverage robotics in their operations.”

In conclusion, Mr. Greenawalt commented, “We are truly excited about our opportunities this year. In 2008, our total revenues were just $61.0 million. When we went public in 2020, total revenues were $874.0 million. Total revenues are now $1.7 billion on a trailing twelve-month basis. We have now completed 14 acquisitions since going public with a total revenue value of $446 million and $53.3 million in adjusted EBITDA. The macro trends in our end user markets support continued growth with the continued investment in infrastructure projects, demand for automated material handling solutions, the increase in nearshoring and the trend towards electrification of commercial equipment.”

Increased Full Year 2023 Financial Guidance:

  • The Company increased full year 2023 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to $180 million to $188 million from the previously announced $177 million to $185 million.

Forward Looking Statements

This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Alta’s actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside Alta’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures resulting from supply chain disruptions or a tightening labor market; negative impacts on customer payment policies and adverse banking and governmental regulations, resulting in a potential reduction to the fair value of our assets; the performance and financial viability of key suppliers, contractors, customers, and financing sources; economic, industry, business and political conditions including their effects on governmental policy and government actions that disrupt our supply chain or sales channels; our success in identifying acquisition targets and integrating acquisitions; our success in expanding into and doing business in additional markets; our ability to raise capital at favorable terms; the competitive environment for our products and services; our ability to continue to innovate and develop new business lines; our ability to attract and retain key personnel, including, but not limited to, skilled technicians; our ability to maintain our listing on The New York Stock Exchange; the impact of cyber or other security threats or other disruptions to our businesses; our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions or divestitures, rental fleet investments or internal reorganizations; federal, state, and local government budget uncertainty, especially as it relates to infrastructure projects and taxation; currency risks and other risks associated with international operations; and other risks and uncertainties identified in this presentation or indicated from time to time in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Alta’s annual report on Form 10-K and other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Alta cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive, and readers should not place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Alta does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

*Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), we disclose non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted total net debt and floor plan payables, Adjusted net income (loss), and Adjusted basic and diluted net income (loss) per share, in this press release because we believe they are useful performance measures that assist in an effective evaluation of our operating performance when compared to our peers, without regard to financing methods or capital structure. We believe such measures are useful for investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management. However, such measures are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for, or in isolation from, net income (loss), revenue, operating profit, debt, or any other operating performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense (not including floorplan interest paid on new equipment), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjustments for certain one-time or non-recurring items and other adjustments. We exclude these items from net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts are either non-recurring or can vary substantially within the industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Management uses Adjusted total net debt and floor plan payables to reflect the Company’s estimated financial obligations less cash and floor plan payables on new equipment (“FPNP”). The FPNP is used to finance the Company’s new inventory, with its principal balance changing daily as equipment is purchased and sold and the sale proceeds are used to repay the notes. Consequently, in managing the business, management views the FPNP as interest bearing accounts payable, representing the cost of acquiring the equipment that is then repaid when the equipment is sold, as the Company’s floor plan credit agreements require repayment when such pieces of equipment are sold. The Company believes excluding the FPNP from the Company’s total debt for this purpose provides management with supplemental information regarding the Company’s capital structure and leverage profile and assists investors in performing analysis that is consistent with financial models developed by Company management and research analysts. Adjusted total net debt and floor plan payables should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s debt obligations, as reported in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to reflect certain one-time or non-recurring items and other adjustments. Adjusted basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share is defined as adjusted net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of basic and diluted shares, respectively, outstanding during the period. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted total net debt and floor plan payables, Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted basic and diluted net income (loss) per share are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance. For example, items such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, certain one-time or non-recurring items as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, are not reflected in Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted net income (loss). Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted total net debt and floor plan payables, Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted basic and diluted net income (loss) per share should not be construed as an indication that results will be unaffected by the items excluded from these metrics. Our computation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted total net debt and floor plan payables, Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted basic and diluted net income (loss) per share may not be identical to other similarly titled measures of other companies. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to their most comparable measures under GAAP, please see the table entitled “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of this press release.

HF Foods Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

First Quarter Net Revenue up
6%
to
$293.9
Million

Plan in Place to Reduce Cost Structure and Continue Focus on Improving Operations

LAS VEGAS, May 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — HF Foods Group Inc. (NASDAQ: HFFG), a leading food distributor to Asian restaurants across the United States (“HF Foods”, “HF Group” or the “Company”), reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

  • Net revenue increased 6% to $293.9 million compared to $278.2 million in the prior year.
  • Gross profit decreased 1% to $50.2 million, or 17.1% gross profit margin compared to $50.7 million, or 18.2% gross profit margin in the prior year.
  • Net (loss) income decreased 285% to a net loss of $5.8 million compared to net income of $3.1 million in the prior year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA decreased 71% to $5.3 million compared to $17.9 million in the prior year.

Management Commentary

“While I am pleased with our sales increase in the first quarter, it was a challenging quarter for costs,” said Peter Zhang, Chief Executive Officer of HF Foods. “Distribution, selling, and administrative costs grew, while gross profit declined slightly. First quarter margins were incrementally impacted as higher priced inventory was sold at lower competitive prices as product cost inflation began to subside. We expect this impact to diminish as the Company consumes and replaces higher cost commodity inventories. We have developed a plan to reduce our cost structure to address these issues in the near term, while continuing to focus on improving operations, supply chain and distribution channels, and driving efficiencies across the Company,” continued Mr. Zhang.

“HF Foods liquidity position remains strong, with operating cash flows, cash on hand and availability under our line of credit,” said Carlos Rodriguez, Chief Financial Officer of HF Foods. “In addition, we are now fully compliant with NASDAQ financial statement filing requirements, and when we hold our combined 2022 and 2023 annual meeting next month, we will have resolved all outstanding issues with NASDAQ. The resolution of these legacy issues has also enabled the Company to reduce related professional fees and expenses,” said Mr. Rodriguez.

First Quarter 2023 Results

Net revenue was $293.9 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $278.2 million in the prior year, an increase of $15.6 million, or 6%. This increase was attributable to the additional Seafood revenue generated due to the Sealand Food, Inc. acquisition (the “Sealand Acquisition”) and product cost inflation, partially offset by a decrease in Meat and Poultry revenue compared to the first quarter of 2022.

Gross profit was $50.2 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $50.7 million in the prior year, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 1%. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in Meat and Poultry revenue, partially offset by the additional Seafood revenue generated due to the Sealand Acquisition. Gross profit margin for the first quarter of 2023 decreased from 18.2% in the first quarter of 2022 to 17.1% in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to the shift in product mix to higher Seafood sales, timing of inventory purchases, higher fluctuations in key commodity pricing and a higher than normal gross profit margin in the prior year due to our sales recovery to above pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels in the first quarter of 2022.

Distribution, selling and administrative expenses increased by $12.5 million, or 31%, primarily due to an increase of $2.8 million in payroll and related labor costs, inclusive of the additional costs due to the Sealand Acquisition, and higher professional fees due to legal costs and increased compliance costs as a result of the SEC and Special Investigation Committee investigations. Professional fees increased $4.2 million, from $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2022 to $7.1 million in the first quarter of 2023, and we expect to incur additional legal and compliance costs in the second quarter of 2023. Distribution, selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue increased to 18.0% in 2022 from 14.5% in 2021 primarily due to higher professional fees and increased headcount.

Net (loss) income decreased to a net loss of $5.8 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to net income of $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to the increased costs described above as well as an increase of $3.1 million related to the change in fair value of interest rate swaps and a $1.6 million increase in interest expense.

Adjusted EBITDA was $5.3 million for the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of $12.7 million, or 71%, compared to $17.9 million for 2022, primarily attributable to the decreased gross profit and increased distribution, selling and administrative costs described above.

Cash Flow

Cash flow from operating activities increased to $12.6 million in the first quarter of 2023, compared to $10.1 million in the prior year. The increase in cash flow from operating activities was largely driven by improvements in working capital. As of March 31, 2023, we had a cash balance of $17.5 million.

Forward-Looking Statements

All statements in this news release other than statements of historical facts are forward-looking statements which contain our current expectations about our future results. We have attempted to identify any forward-looking statements by using words such as “believes,” “intends,” and other similar expressions. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in all of our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company’s actual results, events or financial positions to differ materially from those included within or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, risks that the Company may not regain compliance with Nasdaq continued listing requirements relating to the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders within any applicable grace period, statements of assumption underlying any of the foregoing, and other factors disclosed under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and other filings with the SEC. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to disclose any revision to these forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Discussion of our results includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income (loss), that we believe provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial performance with other companies in the same industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. The definitions of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income (loss) may not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies in the industry. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income (loss) are not defined under GAAP and are subject to important limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP.

We use non-GAAP financial measures to supplement our GAAP financial results. Management uses EBITDA, defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization to measure operating performance. In addition, management uses Adjusted EBITDA, defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude certain unusual, non-cash, or non-recurring expenses. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is less susceptible to variances in actual performance resulting from non-recurring expenses, and other non-cash charges, provides useful information for our investors and is more reflective of other factors that affect our operating performance.

We believe non-GAAP net income (loss) is a useful measure of operating performance because it excludes certain items not reflective of our core operating performance. Non-GAAP net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for amortization of intangibles, change in fair value of interest rate swaps, stock based compensation, transaction related costs and certain unusual, non-cash, or non-recurring expenses. We believe that non-GAAP net income (loss) facilitates period-over-period comparisons and provides additional clarity for investors to better evaluate our operating results. We present EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss) in order to provide supplemental information that we consider relevant for the readers of our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in its reports filed with the SEC, including its current Quarterly Report on Form 10Q, and such information is not meant to replace or supersede U.S. GAAP measures. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the schedules attached to this press release.
