Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This presentation contains the non-GAAP measures merchandise sales, adjusted EBITDA and
certain ratios that use those measures.  Merchandise sales represent the retail value of all sales
transactions, inclusive of freight charges and net of allowances
for returns and discounts, which
flow through the GSI Commerce platform, whether or not the company is the seller of the
merchandise, or records the full amount of such sales on its financial statements.  Merchandise
sales also include product sales related to Aspherio.  GSI Commerce uses merchandise sales as a
metric for operating its business.  Variable costs such as fulfillment and customer service labor
expense, order processing costs such as credit card and bank processing fees and organizational
costs such as business management are related to the amount of sales made through GSI
Commerce’s platform, whether or not GSI Commerce records the revenue from
such sales.  GSI
Commerce believes that investors will have a more thorough understanding of its historical
expenses and expense trends if they have visibility to GAAP net revenue as well as the non-GAAP
financial measure merchandise sales and the percentages that such expenses bear to net
revenues and merchandise sales.
GSI Commerce also uses adjusted EBITDA, which represents earnings (or losses) before interest
income/expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and
stock-based compensation. 
GSI Commerce uses adjusted EBITDA as a means to evaluate its performance period to period
without taking into account certain expenses, particularly stock-based compensation expense,
which may fluctuate materially due to fluctuations in the price of GSI Commerce’s common stock
both on a quarterly and annual basis, and does not consistently reflect GSI Commerce’s results
from its core business activities.
These financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or
superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in
accordance with GAAP. The
non-GAAP financial measures included in this presentation have been reconciled to the nearest
GAAP measures as required under Securities and Exchange Commission rules and can be found in
the appendices of this presentation.
