Non-GAAP Measures
We regularly review a number of metrics,
including the following key metrics, to evaluate our business,
measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business,
formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions.
Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before
interest, stock-based compensation, taxes, depreciation (other than
depreciation of leased merchandise), amortization, and one-time or
non-recurring items. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides us
with an understanding of one aspect of earnings before the impact
of investing and financing charges and income taxes.
Key performance metrics for the three months
ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:

Forward-Looking Statements
All statements in this release that are not

the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking
statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our

customers; expected future operating results and expectations
concerning our business strategy. Forward-looking statements
involve inherent risks and uncertainties which could cause actual

credit agreement; our dependence on the success of our third-party
retail partners and our continued relationships with them; our
compliance with various federal, state and local laws and
