Earnings Call Presentation Q3 2018
Forward Looking Statements This presentation and the accompanying oral presentation contain forward-looking statements that are based on our management s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management, including our current expectations with respect to revenues and Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2018; our expectations for our offerings, partnerships, pricing strategies and platforms; our expectations regarding the future demand and behavior of consumers, retailers and CPGs; and our expectations with respect to our future investments and growth and ability to leverage our investments and operating expenses. Forward-looking statements are based on our current plans, objectives, estimates, expectations and intentions and inherently involve significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of these risks and uncertainties, which include, without limitation, our ability to generate positive cash flow and become profitable; the amount and timing of digital promotions by CPGs, which are affected by budget cycles, economic conditions and other factors; our ability to adapt to changing market conditions, including our ability to adapt to changes in consumer habits, our ability to negotiate fee arrangements with CPGs and retailers; our ability to maintain and expand the use by consumers of digital promotions on our platforms; our ability to execute our media strategy; our ability to effectively manage our growth; the performance of our various products; our ability to successfully integrate acquired companies into our business; our ability to develop and launch new services and features; and other factors identified in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including our quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 3, 2018 and future filings and reports by us, including our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2018. We disclaim any obligation to update information contained in these forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise and does not assume responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. In addition to the U.S. GAAP financials, this presentation includes certain non-gaap financial measures. The non-gaap measures have limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results under U.S. GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-gaap financial measures versus their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-gaap financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-gaap financial measures as tools for comparison. We consider these non-gaap financial measures to be important because they provide useful measures of the operating performance of the company, exclusive of unusual events or factors that do not directly affect what we consider to be our core operating performance and are used by our management for that purpose. The use of non-gaap measures is further discussed in the accompanying press release, which has been furnished to the SEC on Form 8-K and posted on our website. The press release also defines our non-gaap financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-gaap measures can also be found in the accompanying press release and in the Appendix hereto. A reconciliation of Adjusted EB ITDA, a non-gaap guidance measure, to a corresponding GAAP measure is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and low visibility of certain (income) expense items that are excluded in calculating Adjusted EBITDA.
