SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
(unaudited)

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with GAAP, this press release contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures below. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about our operating performance, enable comparison of financial trends and results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating our business and measuring our performance. The income tax effect of the below adjustments, with the exception of (provision for) benefit from income taxes, were not tax-effected due to the valuation allowance on all of our net deferred tax assets.

Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated. Additionally, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures disclosed by other companies.

Beginning with the second quarter of 2024, we have modified our definition of adjusted subscription service gross margin percentage and have renamed this non-GAAP measure to non-GAAP subscription service gross margin percentage. Non-GAAP subscription service gross margin percentage is adjusted to exclude amortization from acquired and internally developed software, stock-based compensation, and severance costs included within subscription service cost of sales. Our prior definition of adjusted subscription service gross margin percentage only excluded amortization from acquired and internally developed software. This change was made to conform with the methodology that we use to calculate other non-GAAP measures, including adjusted EBITDA outlined below, and to align with how management views our core operating performance.

Non-GAAP Measure	Definition	Usefulness to management and investors
Non-GAAP subscription service gross margin percentage	Non-GAAP subscription service gross margin percentage represents subscription service gross margin percentage adjusted to exclude amortization from acquired and internally developed software, stock-based compensation, and severance.	We believe that non-GAAP subscription service gross margin percentage and adjusted EBITDA provide useful perspectives with respect to the Company's core operating performance and ongoing cash earnings by adjusting for certain non-cash and non-recurring charges that may not be indicative of our financial performance.
Adjusted EBITDA	Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before income taxes, interest expense and depreciation and amortization adjusted to exclude certain non-cash and non-recurring charges that may not be indicative of our financial performance.
Non-GAAP diluted net loss per share	Non-GAAP diluted net loss per share represents net loss per share excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets and certain non-cash and non-recurring charges that may not be indicative of our financial performance.	We believe that adjusting our non-GAAP diluted net loss per share to remove non-cash and non-recurring charges provides a useful perspective with respect to the Company's operating performance as well as comparisons to past and competitor operating results.

Non-GAAP Adjustment	Definition	Usefulness to management and investors
Stock-based compensation	Stock-based compensation consists of charges related to our employee equity incentive plans.	We exclude stock-based compensation because these non-cash charges are not viewed by management as part of our core operating performance. This adjustment facilitates a useful evaluation of our current operating performance as well as comparisons to past and competitor operating results.
Contingent consideration	Adjustment reflects a non-cash reduction to the fair market value of the contingent consideration liability related to our acquisition of MENU Technologies AG.	We exclude changes to the fair market value of our contingent consideration liability because management does not view these non-cash, non-recurring charges as part of our core operating performance. This adjustment facilitates a useful evaluation of our current operating performance as well as comparisons to past and competitor operating results.
Transaction costs	Adjustment reflects non-recurring professional fees incurred in transaction due diligence, including costs incurred in the acquisitions of Stuzo Blocker, Inc., Stuzo Holdings, LLC and their subsidiaries (the "Stuzo Acquisition") and TASK.	We exclude professional fees incurred in corporate development because management does not view these non-recurring charges, which are inconsistent in size and are significantly impacted by the timing and valuation of our transactions, as part of our core operating performance. This adjustment facilitates a useful evaluation of our current operating performance, comparisons to past and competitor operating results, and additional means to evaluate expense trends.
Gain on insurance proceeds	Adjustment reflects the gain on insurance proceeds due to the settlement of a legacy claim.	We exclude these non-recurring adjustments because these costs do not reflect our core operating performance. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our current operating performance as well as comparisons to past and competitor operating results.
Severance	Adjustment reflects the severance included in cost of sales, sales and marketing expense, general and administrative expense, and research and development expense.
Discontinued operations	Adjustment reflects income from discontinued operations related to the disposition of our Government segment.
Other expense (income), net	Adjustment reflects foreign currency transaction gains and losses, rental income and losses, and other non-recurring expenses recorded in other expense (income), net, in the accompanying statements of operations.
(Provision for) benefit from income taxes	Adjustment reflects a partial release of our deferred tax asset valuation allowance resulting from the Stuzo Acquisition.	We exclude these non-cash and non-recurring adjustments for purposes of calculating non-GAAP diluted net loss per share because these costs do not reflect our core operating performance. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our current operating performance, comparisons to past and competitor operating results, and additional means to evaluate expense trends.
Non-cash interest	Adjustment reflects non-cash amortization of issuance costs related to the Company's long-term debt.
Acquired intangible assets amortization	Adjustment reflects amortization expense of acquired developed technology included within cost of sales and amortization expense of acquired intangible assets.

The tables below provide reconciliations between net income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA, diluted net income (loss) per share and non-GAAP diluted net loss per share, and subscription service gross margin percentage and non-GAAP subscription service gross margin percentage.
