Non-GAAP Financial Measures: In this slide presentation, the Company provides the following information that may be deemed a non-GAAP financial measure: variable contribution, variable contribution margin and operating income as a percentage of variable contribution as well as (1) operating income as a percentage of gross profit and operating income as a percentage of variable contribution, each in the 2020 fiscal year period, excluding the impact of the one-time costs to buyout certain incentive commission arrangements with several agents (the “Commission Buyout Costs”) and the impact of pandemic relief incentive payments; and (2) operating income as a percentage of gross profit in the 2020 fourth quarter, excluding the impact of the Commission Buyout Costs. Management believes variable contribution and variable contribution margin are useful measures of the variable costs that we incur at a shipment-by-shipment level attributable to our transportation network of third-party capacity providers and independent agents in order to provide services to our customers. Management believes that operating income as a percentage of variable contribution is a useful measure as: (i) variable costs of revenue for a significant portion of the Company’s business are highly influenced by short-term market-based trends in the freight transportation industry, whereas other costs, including other costs of revenue, are much less impacted by short-term freight market trends; and (ii) this measure is meaningful to investors’ evaluations of the Company’s management of costs attributable to operations other than the purely variable costs associated with purchased transportation and commissions to agents that the Company incurs to provide services to our customers. Management also believes that it is appropriate to present each of the financial measures that may be deemed a non-GAAP financial measure, as referred to above, for the following reasons: (1) disclosure of these matters will allow investors to better understand the underlying trends in the Company’s financial condition and results of operations; (2) this information will facilitate comparisons by investors of the Company’s results as compared to the results of peer companies; and (3) management considers this financial information in its decision making. A tabulation of the expenses identified as costs of revenue as well as a reconciliation of gross profit to variable contribution and gross profit margin to variable contribution margin for the 2021 and 2020 fourth quarters and fiscal year periods is included in this slide presentation as Appendix A.
