Exhibit 1 - Definitions.

“Constant currency revenue growth” or “revenue growth, CCY” is defined as the period-on-period growth of revenue calculated on a constant currency basis. To calculate revenue in constant currency, for every country of operations, we apply the prior period’s average exchange rate for that country’s functional currency to U.S. dollar to revenue in functional currency of the current year. This methodology is applied for every country of operations and then consolidated at the Group level.

“Constant currency gross profit” or “gross profit, CCY” is defined as gross profit calculated on a constant currency basis. To calculate gross profit in constant currency, for every country of operations, we apply the prior period’s average exchange rate for that country’s functional currency to U.S. dollar to gross profit in functional currency of the current period. This methodology is applied for every country of operations and then consolidated at the Group level.

“Constant currency gross profit growth” or “gross profit growth, CCY” is defined as period-on-period growth of constant currency gross profit.

“Adjusted EBITDA (excluding share-based compensation)” is defined as profit before interest, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, foreign exchange gain, net financial income and expenses, property and equipment write-off, IPO-related bonus, employee termination write-offs and other items that we consider to be non-recurring or one-off (including penalties and acquisition related expenses).

“Adjusted EBITDA (excluding share-based compensation) growth” is defined as the period-on-period growth of Adjusted EBITDA (excluding share-based compensation).

“Adjusted EBITDA (excluding share based compensation) margin” is defined as Adjusted EBITDA (excluding share-based compensation) for the period divided by revenue for the period.
