Non-GAAP Financial Measure

The non-GAAP financial measure shown in this press release excludes various items detailed further below.

We define EBITDA as net loss from continuing operations adjusted for depreciation and amortization, net interest expense and income tax provision. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA further adjusted for certain items of a significant or unusual nature, including change in fair value of contingent consideration, cost of COVID-19, non-cash stock compensation expense, transaction related costs and certain other costs.

A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included below. Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in accordance with, and is not an alternative for, comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP results, when shown in conjunction with corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends related to Convey's operating results.
