Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are
prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use the
following non-GAAP financial measures to help evaluate our
operating performance:
"Adjusted EBITDA" represents a gain /(loss) from operations
before share-based compensation expense, change in fair value of
convertible promissory notes, interest income, interest expense,
income tax expense and depreciation and amortization expenses.
Although other companies may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently
or not present it at all, we believe that the adjusted EBITDA helps
to identify underlying trends in our operating results, enhancing
their understanding of the past performance and future
prospects.
