Non-GAAP Reconciliation Footnotes 1. To supplement the Companys consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses measures of operating results that are adjusted to exclude various, primarily non-cash, expenses and charges. These financial measures are not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to or substitutes for operating revenues, operating income, net income or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. These financial measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other organizations because other organizations may not calculate their measures in the same manner as we do. These financial measures are adjusted to eliminate the impact of items that the Company does not consider indicative of its core operating performance. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures it presents are useful to investors in evaluating the Companys operating performance for the following reasons: " stock-based retailer incentive compensation is a non-cash GAAP accounting charge that is an offset to the Companys actual revenues from operations as the Company has historically calculated them. This charge results from the monthly lapsing of the Companys right to repurchase a portion of the 2,208,552 shares it issued to its largest distributor, Walmart, in May 2010. By adding back this charge to the Companys GAAP 2010 and future total operating revenues, investors can make direct comparisons of the Companys revenues from operations prior to and after May 2010 and thus more easily perceive trends in the Companys core operations. Further, because the monthly charge is based on the then-current fair market value of the shares as to which the Companys repurchase right lapses, adding back this charge eliminates fluctuations in the Companys operating revenues caused by variations in its stock price and thus provides insight on the operating revenues directly associated with those core operations; " the Company records employee stock-based compensation from period to period, and recorded employee stock-based compensation expenses of approximately $20.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. By comparing the Companys adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in different historical periods, investors can evaluate the Companys operating results without the additional variations caused by employee stock-based compensation expense, which may not be comparable from period to period due to changes in the fair market value of the Companys Class A common stock (which is influenced by external factors like the volatility of public markets and the financial performance of the Companys peers) and is not a key measure of the Companys operations; " adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a companys operating performance without regard to items, such as interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, employee stock-based compensation expense, stock-based retailer incentive compensation expense, other income, transaction costs and impairment charges, that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon their respective financing structures and accounting policies, the book values of their assets, their capital structures and the methods by which their assets were acquired; and " securities analysts use adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to evaluate the overall operating performance of companies. The Companys management uses the non-GAAP financial measures: " as measures of operating performance, because they exclude the impact of items not directly resulting from the Companys core operations; " for planning purposes, including the preparation of the Companys annual operating budget; " to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of the Companys business; " to evaluate the effectiveness of the Companys business strategies; and " in communications with the Companys board of directors concerning the Companys financial performance.


Non-GAAP Reconciliation Footnotes The Company understands that, although adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluations of companies, these measures have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of the Companys results of operations as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: " that these measures do not reflect the Companys capital expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or other contractual commitments; " that these measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Companys working capital needs; " that these measures do not reflect interest expense or interest income; " that these measures do not reflect cash requirements for income taxes; " that, although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated or amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and these measures do not reflect any cash requirements for these replacements; and " that other companies in the Companys industry may calculate these measures differently than the Company does, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. 2. This expense consists of the recorded fair value of the shares of Class A common stock for which the Companys right to repurchase has lapsed pursuant to the terms of the May 2010 agreement under which they were issued to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., a contra-revenue component of the Companys total operating revenues. Prior to the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company did not record stock-based retailer incentive compensation expense. The Company will, however, continue to incur this expense through May 2015. In future periods, the Company does not expect this expense will be comparable from period to period due to changes in the fair value of its Class A common stock. The Company will also have to record additional stock-based retailer incentive compensation expense to the extent that a warrant to purchase its Class B common stock vests and becomes exercisable upon the achievement of certain performance goals by PayPal. The Company does not believe these non-cash expenses are reflective of ongoing operating results. 3. The Company does not include any income tax impact of the associated non-GAAP adjustment to non-GAAP total operating revenues or adjusted EBITDA, as the case may be, because each of these non-GAAP financial measures is provided before income tax expense. 4. This expense consists primarily of expenses for employee stock options. Employee stock-based compensation expense is not comparable from period to period due to changes in the fair market value of the Companys Class A common stock (which is influenced by external factors like the volatility of public markets and the financial performance of the Companys peers) and is not a key measure of the Companys operations. The Company excludes employee stock-based compensation expense from its non-GAAP financial measures primarily because it consists of non-cash expenses that the Company does not believe are reflective of ongoing operating results. Further, the Company believes that it is useful to investors to understand the impact of employee stock- based compensation to its results of operations. 5. This income consists of gains in connection with the settlement of a lawsuit a change in the fair value of contingent consideration. The Company excludes such gains from its non-GAAP financial measures primarily because the Company does not believe these gains are reflective of ongoing operating results. 6. These expenses relate to transaction costs associated with Company acquisitions. The Company excludes business combination acquisition costs from its non-GAAP financial measures because the Company does not believe these expenses are reflective of ongoing operating results. 7. These amounts represent estimated adjustments for net interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, employee stock-based compensation expense, and stock-based retailer incentive compensation expense. Employee stock-based compensation expense and stock-based retailer incentive compensation expense include assumptions about the future fair market value of the Companys Class A common stock (which is influenced by external factors like the volatility of public markets and the financial performance of the Companys peers).
