The use of non-GAAP financial measures:
To supplement its consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States, Hurray! uses a non-GAAP measure of EBITDA, which is adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain expenses. Hurray!’s management believes the use of this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses that are not related to the company’s operations. This non-GAAP financial measure also facilitates management’s internal comparisons to Hurray!’s historical performance and our competitors’ operating results. Hurray! believes this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making. The presentation of this additional financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Please see below financial table for a reconciliation of EBITDA.
