The achievement or success of the matters covered by such forward-looking statements involves significant risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be construed as an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance, nor as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure in each case as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Below is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the closest GAAP financial measure. Our Credit Agreement defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before (i) interest expense, (ii) interest income, (iii) provision for income taxes, (iv) depreciation and amortization expense, (v) impairment charges, (vi) stock-based compensation, (vii) contingent consideration, (viii) acquisition and related expenses, and (ix) certain other items. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenues.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as calculated herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies within the industry and are not determined in accordance with GAAP. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or unexpected items.

_________

(1) Reflects stock-based compensation expense related to the issuance of equity awards to our employees and Directors.

(2) Includes costs incurred to evaluate and pursue acquisition activities as well as costs incurred by the Company in connection with the evaluation of strategic alternatives.

(3) The amount for the three months ended December 31, 2025 consists of costs incurred by the Company for severance. The amount for the three months ended December 31, 2024 consists primarily of $1.3 million and $0.7 million incurred by the Company related to severance and restructuring activities, respectively.

The amount for the year ended December 31, 2025 consists primarily of $9.8 million and $2.0 million incurred by the Company related to restructuring activities and severance, respectively, and $1.1 million of reimbursement of a tax assessment paid under protest in 2023. The amount for the year ended December 31, 2024 consists primarily of $14.5 million and $6.9 million incurred by the Company related to severance and restructuring activities, respectively.
