AND SUBSIDIARIESGAAP NET LOSS TO NON-GAAP ADJUSTED EBITDA Non-GAAP Financial Measures This Report includes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share, which are non-GAAP financial measures that we use to supplement our results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share are useful in evaluating our operating performance, similar to measures reported by our publicly-listed U.S. competitors, and regularly used by security analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share are not intended to be a substitute for any U.S. GAAP financial measure. As calculated, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of performance of other companies in other industries or within the same industry. We define and calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before the impact of interest income and expense, income tax provision or benefit, and depreciation and amortization, and further adjusted for the following items: stock-based compensation; and other non-recurring and non-operating costs or income, as described in the reconciliation below. We define and calculate Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share as basic earnings (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders before the impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets; stock-based compensation; and other non-recurring and non-operating costs or income, as described in the reconciliation below. We include non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by management to evaluate our core operating performance and trends and to make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital and new investments. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share exclude certain expenses that are required in accordance with U.S. GAAP because they are non-recurring items (for example, in the case of severance costs), non-cash expenditures (for example, in the case of amortization of acquired intangible assets, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation), or non-operating items which are not related to our underlying business performance (for example, in the case of interest expense).   For the Three Months Ended June 30,  For the Six Months Ended June 30, (in thousands) 2025  2024  2025  2024                  Revenues $6,936  $5,803  $13,707  $12,310 Net loss  (592)  (1,504)  (3,868)  (3,353)                 Add back items:                Stock-based compensation expense (1)  501   148   809   673 Depreciation and amortization (2)  84   57   160   107 Interest expense, net  53   24   99   50 Income tax  37   —   54   — Foreign exchange transaction loss  151   250   329   715 Other (3)  128   94   256   93 Adjusted EBITDA $362  $(931) $(2,161) $(1,715)Adjusted EBITDA margin  5.22%  (16.04)%  (15.77)%  (13.93)%Adjusted earnings (loss) per share  0.04   (0.13)  (0.26)  (0.24)   For the Three Months Ended March 31, (in thousands) 2025  2024          Revenues $6,771  $6,507 Net loss  (3,276)  (1,849)         Add back items:        Stock-based compensation expense (1)  308   525 Depreciation and amortization (2)  76   50 Interest expense, net  46   26 Income tax  17   — Foreign exchange transaction loss  178   465 Other (3)  128   (1)Adjusted EBITDA $(2,523) $(784)Adjusted EBITDA margin  (37.26)%  (12.05)%Adjusted loss per share  (0.30)  (0.11) (1) Includes restricted shares, stock options, equity-settled restricted share units, cash-settled restricted share units and equity-settled performance-based restricted share units granted to employees and directors (including related employer payroll taxes).(2) Includes amortization of intangible assets generated through business acquisitions and depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of contract costs, and amortization of internally developed software and other intangible assets.
