Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release and the information contained herein present a non-GAAP financial measure, Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes certain amounts. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) with adjustments for depreciation and amortization, interest income (expense)-net, other income (expense)-net, income taxes and stock-based compensation. The Company has included below a reconciliation of net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA. The Company's management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the Company's performance and provides this financial measure to investors as a supplement to the Company's reported results because management believes this information provides additional insight into the Company's operating performance by disregarding certain nonrecurring or non-cash items or items that are not reflective of the day-to-day offering of its services. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or as superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the Company's financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and any reconciliation to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measure used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Forward-Looking Statements
Any statements contained in this press release that do not describe historical facts are forward-looking statements as defined under the Federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding the Company's DispatchPlus business and its sales and marketing initiatives, the regulatory status and timing of the Company's Joint Petition for Rulemaking and the Company's spectrum and other initiatives and opportunities. Any forward-looking statements contained herein are based on the Company's current expectations, but are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause its actual future results to differ materially from its current expectations or those implied by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the Company has a limited operating history with respect to its recently launched DispatchPlus business; the Company has had net losses each year since its inception and may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future; the Company's indirect sales model may not be successful; customers may not adopt the Company's technology or service offerings as quickly as anticipated or in sufficient numbers; the Company's spectrum and other initiatives and opportunities, including its Joint Petition for Rulemaking and its FirstNet bid proposal, may not be successful on a timely basis or at all, may cost more than anticipated, and may continue to require significant time and attention from its senior management team and the expenditure of significant resources; the wireless communication industry is highly competitive and the Company may not be able to compete successfully; and government regulation could adversely affect the Company's business and prospects. These and other factors that may affect the Company's future results or operations are identified and described in more detail in its filings with the
