Adjusted Revenue Statement
This news release contains non-GAAP financial information with respect to adjusted revenues and Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation since each company may define these terms differently.
