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), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share and free
cash flow.
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.
We are unable to reconcile any forward-looking non-GAAP
financial measures to their directly comparable GAAP financial
measures because the information which is needed to complete a
reconciliation is unavailable at this time without unreasonable
effort. Additionally, we are unable to quantify the impact of
foreign currency exchange fluctuations on components of our income
statement beyond revenues because the information which is needed
to do so is unavailable at this time without unreasonable
effort.
Upland defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), calculated
in accordance with GAAP, plus depreciation and amortization
expense, interest expense, net, other expense (income), net,
provision (benefit) for income taxes, stock-based compensation
expense, acquisition-related expenses, non-recurring litigation
costs, purchase accounting adjustments for deferred revenue and
impairment of goodwill.
Upland defines non-GAAP net income (loss) as net income (loss),
calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus amortization of purchased
intangible assets, amortization of debt discount, loss on debt
extinguishment, stock-based compensation expenses,
acquisition-related expenses, non-recurring litigation expenses,
purchase accounting adjustments for deferred revenue, non-recurring
provision for income tax, impairment of goodwill and the related
tax effect of the adjustments above.
Upland defines free cash flow as GAAP operating cash flow less
purchases of property and equipment.
Upland defines major accounts as accounts with greater than or
equal to $25,000 in annual recurring revenue.
Upland defines major expansions as existing customers who
expanded the amount of annual recurring revenue under their
contract by at least $25,000.
Upland defines cash gross margin as product revenue less
subscription and support cost of sales, excluding depreciation and
amortization.
In connection with periodic reviews of our business, we have
decided to discontinue the availability of certain non-strategic
product offerings and a limited number of non-strategic customer
contracts (collectively referred to as “Sunset Assets”).
Overage Charges are subscription and support revenues earned in
addition to contractual minimum customer commitments as a result of
the usage volume of services including text and e-mail messaging
and third-party pass-through costs that exceed the levels
stipulated in contracts with the Company.
Upland defines Core Organic Growth Rate as the percentage change
between two reported periods in subscription and support revenue,
excluding subscription and support revenue from Sunset Assets and
Overage Charges. We calculate our year-over-year Core Organic
Growth Rate as though all acquisitions or dispositions closed as of
the end of the latest period were closed as of the first day of the
prior year period presented. Core Organic Growth Rate does not
represent actual organic revenue generated by our business as it
stood at the beginning of the respective period.
Core Bookings and Core Churn exclude bookings and churn from
Sunset Assets.
