financial measurements based on generally accepted accounting principles in the united states of america (“gaap”), the company provides additional financial metrics that are not prepared in accordance with gaap (“non-gaap”). the non-gaap financial measures included in this press release are adjusted ebitda, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin. the company presents non-gaap financial measures in order to assist readers of its condensed consolidated financial statements in understanding the core operating results that its management uses to evaluate the business and for financial planning purposes. the company’s non-gaap financial measures, adjusted ebitda, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin, provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our financial performance over multiple periods. adjusted ebitda, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin are key performance measures that the company’s management uses to assess our operating performance. these non-gaap measures facilitate internal comparisons of the company’s operating performance on a more consistent basis. the company uses these performance measures for business planning purposes and forecasting. the company believes that adjusted ebitda, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin enhance an investor’s understanding of the company’s financial performance as they are useful in assessing its operating performance from period-to-period by excluding certain items that the company believes are not representative of its core business. adjusted ebitda, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate these measures in the same manner. adjusted ebitda, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin are not prepared in accordance with gaap and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with gaap. when evaluating the company’s performance, you should consider adjusted ebitda, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin alongside other financial performance measures prepared in accordance with gaap, including net loss, gross profit, and gross margin. the non-gaap financial measures do not replace the presentation of the company’s gaap financial results and should only be used as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, the company’s financial results presented in accordance with gaap. in this press release, the company has provided a reconciliation of adjusted ebitda to net loss, adjusted gross profit to gross profit, and adjusted gross margin to gross margin, the most directly comparable gaap financial measures. a reconciliation of adjusted ebitda, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin to corresponding gaap measures is not available on a forward-looking basis because the company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the non-cash component of employee compensation expense, changes in its working capital needs, variances in its supply chain, the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters the company considers not to be reflective, on a recurring basis, of its ongoing operations, and other such items without unreasonable effort. these items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to the company’s results computed in accordance with gaap. management strongly encourages investors to review the company’s financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure. forward looking statements this press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the united states private securities
