Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Management believes that adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP gross margin are useful measures of operating performance because they exclude items that Q2 does not consider indicative of its core performance. In the case of adjusted EBITDA, Q2 adjusts net loss for such things as interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, loss from discontinued operations and unoccupied lease charges. In the case of non-GAAP gross margin, Q2 adjusts gross margin for stock-based compensation. However, these non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, net loss and GAAP gross margin, or other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation to the closest GAAP measures of these non-GAAP measures is contained in tabular form on the attached unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Q2’s management uses adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP gross margin as measures of operating performance; to prepare Q2’s annual operating budget; to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of Q2’s business; to evaluate the effectiveness of Q2’s business strategies; to provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance; to facilitate a comparison of Q2’s results with those of other companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results; and in communication with our board of directors concerning Q2’s financial performance.
