appropriate.
Business Outlook

1 Programmatic buying is the automated
purchase of digital advertising inventory through a combination of
machine-based transactions, data and algorithms.
2 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial
measure that we calculate as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude
income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization,
stock-based compensation and non-recurring proxy contest, asset
impairment and restructuring expenses. We believe that adjusted
EBITDA provides useful information to investors in understanding
and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as
management and the board of directors. This non-GAAP information is
not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP information of other
companies. Non-GAAP information should not be viewed as a
substitute for, or superior to, net income prepared in accordance
with GAAP as a measure of our profitability or liquidity. Users of
this financial information should consider the types of events and
transactions for which adjustments have been made.

Forward-Looking
Statements
This press release, conference call and webcast of the same date
contain forward-looking statements regarding future events and our
future financial performance. All statements other than statements
of historical fact are statements that could be forward-looking
statements, including, but not limited to our Business Outlook,
statements about our growth strategy, the impact of restructuring
and cost saving initiatives, potential merger and acquisition
activity, the impact of management changes, our operating results,
financial goals for 2017, market trends, and quotations from
management. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks
and uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that could cause
actual results and the timing of events to differ materially from
future results that are expressed or implied in our forward-looking
statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences include adaptation to new, changing and competitive
technologies and trends in a dynamic market, changes to our
management, competitive trends in a dynamic market, our history of
net losses and limited operating history, which make it difficult
to evaluate our prospects, our fluctuating quarterly results of
operations, risks associated with margin shifts in the industry and
our dependence on a limited number of customers in a highly
competitive industry. These and other risk factors are discussed
under “Risk Factors” in YuMe’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the quarter ended September 30, 2016 that has been filed with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and in our
future filings and reports with the SEC. The forward-looking
statements in this press release are based on information available
to YuMe as of the date hereof, and YuMe assumes no obligation to
update any forward-looking statements.
Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are
prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (“GAAP”), we report in this press release and
on our webcast adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial
measure. We calculate adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss),
excluding income taxes, interest, expense, depreciation and
amortization, stock-based compensation and non-recurring proxy
contest, asset impairment and restructuring expenses. We believe
that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors in
understanding our operating results in the same manner as
management and the board of directors. This non-GAAP information is
not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP information presented by
other companies. Non-GAAP financial information should not be
viewed as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information
prepared in accordance with GAAP. Users of this non-GAAP financial
information should consider the types of events and transactions
for which adjustments have been made.
We have included adjusted EBITDA in this release and on our
webcast because it is a key measure we use to understand and
evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and
approve our annual budget and to develop short- and long-term
operational plans. In particular, we believe that adjusted EBITDA
can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of
our operating results because it excludes some expenses that may
mask underlying trends.
In the table following the financial statements attached to this
press release, the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press
release are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measures. With respect to adjusted EBITDA expectations
provided under “Business Outlook” above, quantitative
reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial
measure is not reasonably available. We expect that the variability
of the above charges may have a significant and unpredictable
impact on our future GAAP financial results.
