Paysign, Inc. Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement Paysign’s financial results presented on a GAAP basis, we use a non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA, is a non-GAAP financial measure. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and non-GAAP financial measures as used by the company may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income less the following cash and non-cash items: interest, taxes, stock-based compensation, amortization, and depreciation.
The company believes this non-GAAP measure helps investors better evaluate its past financial performance and potential future results. Additionally, such measure helps compare the company’s performance on a consistent basis across time periods. Adjusted EBITDA reflects the adjustment to EBITDA to exclude stock-based compensation charges. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flows from operations, operating income (loss) or net income (loss) as defined by U.S. GAAP as indicators of operating performance.
