17 Appendix Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures Certain amounts are rounded and may not add to total amounts.

18 Management s Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company believes Adjusted operating revenues, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted earnings per share, Reduction in income taxes payable and Adjusted free cash flow are useful to evaluate the Company's operating and financial performance for the following reasons: Adjusting operating revenues for compensation to retail distribution partners and pass through marketing revenues is useful to understanding the Company's operating margin EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are widely used by investors and securities analysts to measure a company s operating performance without regard to items that can vary substantially from company to company and from period to period depending upon their financing, accounting and tax methods, the book value of their assets, their capital structures and the method by which their assets were acquired in a business combination, a company records an adjustment to reduce the carrying values of deferred revenue and deferred expenses to their fair values and reduces the company s revenues and expenses from what it would have recorded otherwise, and as such the Company does not believe is indicative of its core operating performance 2017 Blackhawk Network - See Appendix for Reconciliation of GAAP to non-gaap Adjusted Measures 18

19 Management s Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (cont d) Non-cash equity grants made to employees and distribution partners at a certain price and point in time do not necessarily reflect how the Company's business is performing at any particular time and the related expenses are not key measures of the Company's core operating performance Reduction in income taxes payable from the step up in tax basis of our assets resulting from the Section 336(e) election due to our Spin-Off and the Safeway Merger and reduction in income taxes payable from amortization of goodwill and other intangibles or utilization of net operating loss carryforwards from business acquisitions represent significant tax savings that are useful for understanding the Company's overall operating results Reduction in income taxes payable resulting from the tax deductibility of stock-based compensation is useful for understanding the Company's overall operating results. The Company generally realizes these tax deductions when restricted stock vest, an option is exercised, and, in the case of warrants, after the warrant is exercised but amortized over remaining service period, and such timing differs from the GAAP treatment of expense recognition Adjusted free cash flow - Free cash flow provides information regarding the cash that the Company generates without the fluctuations resulting from the timing of cash inflows and outflows from these settlement activities, which is useful to understanding the Company's business and its ability to fund capital expenditures and repay amounts borrowed under its term loan. The Company also may use Free cash flow for, among other things, making investment decisions and managing its capital structure 2017 Blackhawk Network - See Appendix for Reconciliation of GAAP to non-gaap Adjusted Measures 19
