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.  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, impairment on investment, income taxes, depreciation and amortization,
cumulative effect of change in accounting principle related to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) 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 historically has been materially impacted by fluctuations in
the price of GSI Commerce’s common stock both on a quarterly and annual basis, and is now
materially
impacted
by
the
adoption
of
SFAS
123(R),
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.
