Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the
following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, and
constant currency revenue.
We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate
period-to-period comparisons. Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental
information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses and expenditures that may not be indicative of
our recurring core business operating results, such as our revenues excluding the impact for foreign currency fluctuations or our
operating performance excluding not only non-cash charges, but also discrete cash charges that are infrequent in nature. We
believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our
performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate
management's internal comparisons to our historical performance and liquidity as well as comparisons to our competitors'
operating results. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors both because they allow for greater
transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and they are used by
our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the health of our business. For a reconciliation of
these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, see the tables provided below in this
release.
Upland defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus net income (loss) from
discontinued operations, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, net, other expense (income), net, provision for
income taxes, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses, non-recurring litigation costs, and purchase
accounting adjustments for deferred revenue.
Upland defines non-GAAP net income (loss) as net income (loss), calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus discontinued
operations, plus the impact of amortization of purchased intangible assets, amortization debt discount, stock-based compensation
expenses, acquisition-related costs, nonrecurring litigation expenses, purchase accounting adjustments for deferred revenue,
nonrecurring provision for income tax, and the related tax effect of the adjustments above.
Upland's earnings press releases containing such non-GAAP reconciliations can be found on the Investor Relations section of
Upland's website at investor.uplandsoftware.com.
