Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we have disclosed in this earnings release the following non-GAAP financial measures:

Adjusted EBITDA: defined as net income (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) excluding depreciation and amortization; share-based compensation expense and related taxes; income tax provision (benefit); interest income (expense), net; transaction related costs; changes in the fair value of equity warrants; severance and exit costs; and litigation matters and other items that we do not consider representative of our underlying operations.
Adjusted EBITDA margin: defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales, as compared to net margin (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) defined as net income divided by net sales.
Adjusted net income: defined as net income (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) excluding share-based compensation expense and related taxes, releases of valuation allowances associated with deferred tax assets, changes in the fair value of equity warrants, and severance and exit costs.
Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share: defined as adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period, as compared to basic and diluted earnings per share (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures) defined as net income attributable to common stockholders divided by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period.
Free cash flow: defined as net cash provided by operating activities (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) less capital expenditures (which consist of purchases of property and equipment, capitalization of labor related to our websites, mobile applications, software development, and leasehold improvements).

We have included these non-GAAP metrics in this earnings release because each is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans, assess liquidity and the amount of cash we generate, and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. Accordingly, we believe these non-GAAP metrics provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.

We believe it is useful to exclude: i) non-cash depreciation and amortization, income tax provision (benefit), interest income (expense), net, transaction related costs, and litigation matters and other items from our adjusted EBITDA, ii) releases of valuation allowances associated with deferred tax assets from our adjusted net income, and iii) changes in the fair value of equity warrants, share-based compensation and related taxes, and severance and exit costs from our adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income as these exclusions may represent temporary initiatives to realign resources and enhance operational efficiency, and/or are not components of, and may not directly correlate to, the underlying performance of our core business operations.

All of these non-GAAP measures have limitations as financial measures and you should not consider these in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Specifically, some of these limitations are:

although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditures;
adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest income (expense), net; or changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital;
adjusted EBITDA does not reflect transaction related costs, litigation matters, integration consulting fees, internal salaries and wages (to the extent the individuals are assigned full-time to integration and transformation activities), certain costs related to integrating and converging IT systems, and other items;
adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income do not reflect share-based compensation and related taxes. Share-based compensation has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a recurring expense in our business and an important part of our compensation strategy; and
adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income do not reflect changes in the fair value of equity warrants, and severance and exit costs, as all of these exclusions are either not representative of our underlying operations or are incremental costs that result from an actual or planned transaction or initiative.

Additionally, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, you should consider these measures alongside GAAP financial performance measures, including net income, net margin, basic and diluted earnings per share, various cash flow metrics including net cash provided by operating activities and capital expenditures, and our other GAAP results.

Key Financial and Operating Data

We measure our business using both financial and operating data and use the following metrics and measures to assess the near-term and long-term performance of our overall business, including identifying trends, formulating financial projections, making strategic decisions, assessing operational efficiencies, and monitoring our business.

Free Cash Flow	$	105.9		$	91.5		$	154.6		$	144.1

Free cash flow may be affected in the near to medium term by the timing of capital investments (such as the launch of new fulfillment centers, pharmacy facilities, veterinary clinics, customer service infrastructure, and corporate offices and purchases of IT and other equipment), fluctuations in our growth and the effect of such fluctuations on working capital, and changes in our cash conversion cycle due to increases or decreases of vendor payment terms as well as inventory turnover.
