Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company realized an "Adjusted EBITDA(1)" loss of $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2016. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. For a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA, see the accompanying schedule. Mattersight's net loss was $6.2 million in the second quarter of 2016. Annualized Book of Business is a non-GAAP measure. For a reconciliation of Annualized Book of Business to total revenue, see the accompanying schedule. In response to recent Securities and Exchange Commission guidance on non-GAAP measures, we will be discontinuing the use of the Annualized Book of Business metric. We expect to replace it with a comparable operational metric. While the company believes that this metric is useful in evaluating its business, this information should be considered supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for revenue recognized in accordance with GAAP.

(1) Mattersight presents Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure that represents cash earnings performance, excluding the impact of non-cash expenses and expense reduction activities, because management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with a better understanding of the results of Mattersight's operations. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA reflects Mattersight's resources available to invest in its business and strengthen its balance sheet. In addition, expense reduction activities can vary significantly between periods on the basis of factors that management does not believe reflect current-period operating performance. Although similar adjustments for expense reduction activities may be recorded in future periods, the size and frequency of these adjustments cannot be predicted. The Adjusted EBITDA measure should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, operating income, cash flows or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
