relations" section. we intend to use this website as a means of disclosing material, non-public information and for complying with our disclosure obligations under regulation fair disclosure. accordingly, investors should monitor the investor relations section of our website, in addition to following our press releases, sec filings, public conference calls, presentations and webcasts. the information contained on, or that may be accessed through, our website is not incorporated by reference into, and is not a part of, this document. non-gaap financial measures this press release includes information about non-gaap financial measures, including adjusted revenue, adjusted recurring subscription revenue, non-gaap gross margins, non-gaap operating expenses, adjusted ebitda, adjusted net (loss) / income and adjusted net (loss) / income per share. we believe these measures provide important supplemental information regarding our operating performance and are often used by investors and analysts in their evaluation of companies such as ours. in addition, we use adjusted ebitda as a key measurement of our operating performance because it assists us in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain non-cash and non-operating items. adjusted revenue is calculated as gaap revenue plus the impact of adjusting deferred revenue to fair value under purchase accounting. adjusted recurring subscription revenue is a key metric we use to evaluate our business. it is defined as the total amount of contractually-committed subscription revenue under each of our client agreements, plus the impact of adjusting deferred revenue to fair value under purchase accounting, less revenue related to utilization above the contracted level. non-gaap gross margins and non-gaap operating expenses are calculated after adjusting for the impact of certain non-cash items such as stock-based compensation and amortization of intangibles, and in the case of non-gaap gross margins, adding back the impact of adjusting deferred revenue to fair value under purchase accounting. adjusted ebitda is calculated as net (loss) / income before (1) other (income) expense, which includes interest income, interest expense and other income and expense, (2) income tax expense (benefit), (3) depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, (4) amortization of intangible assets, (5) stock-based compensation, and (6) the impact of adjusting deferred revenue to fair value under purchase accounting. adjusted net (loss) / income is calculated as net (loss) / income before (1) amortization of intangible assets, (2) stock-based compensation, and (3) the impact of adjusting deferred revenue to fair value under purchase accounting. adjusted net (loss) / income per share is calculated as adjusted net (loss) / income divided by weighted average shares outstanding on a gaap basis. these non-gaap financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with gaap and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of gaap financial measures. adjusted revenue, adjusted recurring subscription revenue, non-gaap gross margins, non-gaap operating expenses, adjusted ebitda, adjusted net (loss) / income and adjusted net (loss) / income per share reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that we believe, when viewed with our gaap results and the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding gaap financial measures set forth on the last page of this press release, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. safe harbor statement this press release contains forward-looking statements about expected financial
