Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement DASAN Zhone's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, DASAN Zhone uses adjusted
EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure DASAN Zhone believes is appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of DASAN Zhone's past financial
performance and prospects for the future. These adjustments to GAAP results are made with the intent of providing greater
transparency to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. These non-GAAP
results are among the primary indicators that management uses as a basis for making operating decisions because they provide
meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company's operational performance, including the Company's ability to provide
cash flows to invest in research and development, and to fund capital expenditures. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures
facilitate management's internal comparisons to the Company's historical operating results and comparisons to competitors'
operating results. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute
for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation between net income calculated on a GAAP
basis and adjusted EBITDA on a non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
