This schedule reconciles the Company's GAAP operating loss and GAAP net loss to its non-GAAP operating (loss) income and non-GAAP net (loss) income. The Company believes that presentation of this schedule provides meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors that is indicative of the Company's core operating results and facilitates comparison of operating results across reporting periods. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures when evaluating its financial results as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes. These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company's GAAP results.

(a) These adjustments reflect stock based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges, and general and administrative expenses associated with the SEC investigation of TelWorx.

(b) These adjustments include the items described in footnote (a) as well as other income for insurance claims related to the SEC investigation of TelWorx, legal settlements, and non-cash income tax expense.

This schedule reconciles the Company's GAAP operating income (loss) by segment to its non-GAAP operating (loss) income.
