Appendix
Non-GAAP Measures Non-GAAP Financial Information In addition to financial results reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we have provided the following non-gaap financial measures in this presentation all on a continuing operations basis: Adjusted Net (Loss) Income, Adjusted Diluted (Loss) Earnings per Share, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Free Cash Flow. Adjusted Net (Loss) Income and Adjusted Diluted (Loss) Earnings per Share exclude the impact of amortization of intangible assets; litigation and related charges incurred in connection with certain patent and shareholder litigation; stock-based compensation expense; restructuring and other charges and other non-operational, non-cash or non-recurring items, net of their income tax impact. Beginning in 2018, a 21% tax rate is used to calculate adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share. EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization all on a continuing operations basis. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA, adjusted for litigation and related charges incurred in connection with certain patent and shareholder litigation; stock-based compensation expense; restructuring and other charges; foreign currency gain or loss; and other items that are unusual in nature, infrequently occurring or not considered part of our core operations, as set forth in the reconciliation. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net (Loss) Income should not be considered an alternative to net loss or loss before income taxes, cash flows from operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, as those items are used to measure operating performance, liquidity or the ability to service debt obligations. The Company believes EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net (Loss) Income present a transparent view of our recurring operating performance and allow management to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons, and identify strategies to improve operating performance. Management also believes these measures are useful to investors in their analysis of our results of operations and provide improved comparability between fiscal periods. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net (Loss) Income, as CPI defines them, may not be comparable to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net (Loss) Income or similarly titled measures used by other entities. We define Free Cash Flow as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. We use this metric in analyzing our ability to service and repay our debt and to forecast future periods. However, this measure does not represent funds available for investment or other discretionary uses since it does not deduct cash used to service our debt. Further, management and various investors use the ratio of total debt plus capital lease obligations less cash to last twelve months (LTM) Adjusted EBITDA, or Net Debt Leverage Ratio, as a measure of our financial strength and ability to incur incremental indebtedness when making key investment decisions and evaluating us against peers. Available liquidity is considered ending cash plus undrawn available revolver. Weighted average effective interest rate is computed as interest expense divided by debt of $312.5 million multiplied by four. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these historical non-gaap measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures included herein. Additional information relating to certain financial measures, including our Non-GAAP financial measures, is available in our most recent earnings release and on our website at http://www.cpicardgroup.com/investor-relations. 16
