Non-GAAP revenue excludes the impact of purchase accounting adjustments for acquisitions.
Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share excludes the impact of purchase accounting adjustments on acquired deferred revenue, amortization expense on intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, litigation-related expense, restructuring-related expense, acquisition-related expense, non-cash convertible debt interest expense and the income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by excluding the impact of interest expense, net, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, purchase accounting adjustments on acquired deferred revenue, stock-based compensation expense, litigation-related expense, restructuring-related expense, and acquisition-related expense from net (loss) income.
Non-GAAP gross margin excludes the impact of purchase accounting adjustments on acquired deferred revenue, amortization expense on intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, and acquisition-related expense.
Adjusted free cash flow is calculated by subtracting the cash paid for the purchase of property and equipment and adding the payments related to acquisitions, restructuring, and litigation to net cash provided by operating activities.

CEO Transition

In a separate press release issued today, Carbonite announced that Steve Munford has been named interim CEO of Carbonite, effective immediately. Mr. Munford succeeds Mohamad Ali, who has stepped down as president and CEO and as a member of the Carbonite Board, also effective immediately.

Business Outlook

Based on the information available as of July 25, 2019, Carbonite expects the following for the third quarter and full year of 2019:

Third Quarter 2019:

		Current Guidance (7/25/2019)
GAAP Revenue		$117 - $119 million
Non-GAAP Revenue		$131 - $133 million
Adjusted EBITDA		$34 - $37 million

Full Year 2019:

	Prior Guidance (5/2/2019)	Current Guidance (7/25/2019)
GAAP Revenue	$457 - $471 million	$443.5 - $448.5 million
Non-GAAP Revenue	$491 - $505 million	$477.5 - $482.5 million
Non-GAAP Gross Margin	80.5% - 81.5%	80.5% - 81.5%
Adjusted EBITDA	$132 - $137 million	$132 - $137 million

Carbonite’s expectations of adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter and full year of 2019 excludes the impact of interest expense, net, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, purchase accounting adjustments on acquired deferred revenue, stock-based compensation expense, litigation-related expense, restructuring-related expense and acquisition-related expense from net income (loss).

The Company is assuming an effective annual tax rate of approximately 22% and 35.5 million shares outstanding for the full year of 2019.

Conference Call and Webcast Information

This call will be webcast live and can be found in the investor relations section of the Company's website at http://investor.carbonite.com. The conference call can also be accessed by dialing (877) 303-1393 in the United States or (315) 625-3228 internationally with the passcode: 8188460.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share, non-GAAP operating expense, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow.

The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and ordinary results of operations. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare the Company’s performance to that of prior periods and uses these measures in financial reports prepared for management and the Company’s board of directors. The Company believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other software-as-a-service companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

The Company does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant items that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management. The Company urges investors to review the reconciliation of its non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures provided in the tables at the end of this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business.

With respect to our expectations under "Business Outlook" above, the Company has not reconciled non-GAAP gross margin to gross margin or adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) in this press release because we do not provide guidance for amortization expense on intangible assets, depreciation expense, stock-based compensation expense, litigation-related expense, income tax expense, restructuring-related expense, interest expense, and acquisition-related expense as we are unable to quantify certain of these amounts that would be required to be included in the GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts. In addition, the Company believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors.

Cautionary Language Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

Certain matters discussed in this press release, including under “Business Outlook,” have "forward-looking statements" intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Similarly, statements that describe the Company's future plans, objectives or goals are also forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results and the timing of certain events to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, our ability to integrate the Webroot acquisition and other acquisitions into our operations and achieve the expected operational and financial benefits of such acquisitions and the timing of such benefits, our ability to profitably attract new customers and retain existing customers, our dependence on the market for cloud backup services, our ability to manage growth, changes in economic or regulatory conditions or other trends affecting the Internet and the information technology industry, and those discussed in the section titled "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), which is available on www.sec.gov, and elsewhere in any subsequent periodic or current reports filed by us with the SEC.
