NEW HOPE, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
The Meet Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEET), a public market leader in the
mobile meeting space, today reported financial results for its second
quarter ended June 30, 2018.

Second Quarter 2018 Financial Highlights

• Total revenue of $42.8 million, up 37% year over year
• GAAP net loss of $0.2 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, compared to
  GAAP net income of $0.9 million, or $0.01 per diluted share in the
  prior year quarter
• Adjusted EBITDA of $7.6 million, up 3% from the prior year quarter
• Non-GAAP net income of $6.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted share,
  compared to $6.6 million or $0.09 per diluted share in the prior year
  quarter

(See the important discussion about the presentation of non-GAAP
financial measures, and reconciliation to the most direct comparable
GAAP financial measure, below.)

“Our strong momentum continued into the second quarter,” said Geoff
Cook, Chief Executive Officer. “We made outstanding progress in video
and reported better than anticipated results in advertising,
contributing to growth in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. Combined with our
recent rollout of Live to Lovoo and the beta launch on MeetMe of Quick,
our new 1-on-1 livestreaming feature, we believe we have set the stage
for sustainable long-term revenue growth.

“Our investment in livestreaming video continues to yield strong
results,” continued Cook. “The number of video users and video revenue
per user both increased sequentially. In less than two years, Live has
become foundational to our business, central to our user experience and
a key driver of our improving financial performance. No product in our
history has grown faster and none has transformed our company to the
degree that Live has. What’s more, we have further diversified our
business and are now generating 60% of our revenue from user pay, up
from 26% in the year ago quarter. In July alone, we increased the
annualized revenue run rate for video to $37 million, up from $35
million in June. Having now rolled out Live to all of our apps, we
believe the opportunity to continue to grow video engagement and revenue
is significant.”

In addition to announcing its second quarter results, the Company
announced that Nick Hermansader has re-joined the company as Senior Vice
President of Advertising. Nick joined The Meet Group from Imgur, an
image sharing and hosting network. He previously worked at The Meet
Group, having served as Vice President of Advertising Operations from
2013 to 2017. Additionally, Bill Alena, Chief Revenue Officer of The
Meet Group, has left the Company effective July 31, 2018 to pursue other
opportunities.

Cook commented, “I am thrilled to have Nick rejoin our team. He brings a
wealth of knowledge and a data-driven approach to managing mobile and
online advertising. We look forward to his contributions to the team.”

Continued Cook, “Bill has been a tremendous contributor to our company
for many years. He joined us as the Vice President of Advertising at
myYearbook in 2007 and served as Chief Revenue Officer of The Meet Group
since 2011. He was instrumental in creating our advertising strategy. I
want to thank Bill for his tremendous contributions to our company. We
wish him well in the future.”

Second Quarter Financial Results

For the second quarter of 2018, the Company reported revenue of $42.8
million, an increase of 37% from $31.3 million in the prior year quarter.

GAAP net loss was $0.2 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, compared to
GAAP net income of $0.9 million, or $0.01 per diluted share in the prior
year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2018 was $7.6
million compared to $7.4 million in the prior year quarter.

The Company ended the quarter with $20.9 million in cash and cash
equivalents.

Company Outlook

The Company is providing the following outlook for the third quarter of
2018 and is increasing its outlook for the full year 2018.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this press release are forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995, including whether third quarter 2018 and full year 2018 revenue
and Adjusted EBITDA will be in the projected range, whether momentum
will continue as expected, whether we have set the stage for sustainable
long-term revenue growth as expected, whether our investment in
livestreaming video will continue to yield strong results and whether
the opportunity to continue to grow video engagement and revenue is
significant. All statements other than statements of historical facts
contained herein are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,”
“may,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “plan,”
“could,” “target,” “potential,” “project,” “is likely,” “expect” and
similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking
statements largely on our current expectations and projections about
future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our
financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and
financial needs. Important factors that could cause actual results to
differ from those in the forward-looking statements include the risk
that our applications will not function easily or otherwise as
anticipated, the risk that we will not launch additional features and
upgrades as anticipated, the risk that unanticipated events affect the
functionality of our applications with popular mobile operating systems,
any changes in such operating systems that degrade our mobile
applications’ functionality and other unexpected issues which could
adversely affect usage on mobile devices. Further information on our
risk factors is contained in our filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including the Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC on March 16, 2018 and our Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 filed with the
SEC on May 7, 2018. Any forward-looking statement made by us herein
speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that
could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time,
and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no
obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as
a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as
may be required by law.

Regulation G – Non-GAAP Measures

The Company defines mobile traffic and engagement metrics (including
MAU, DAU, chats per day, and new users per day) to include mobile app
traffic for all properties and mobile web traffic for MeetMe, Skout and
Lovoo.

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP Net Income, which are not
calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (“GAAP”), in evaluating its financial and
operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to period
comparison. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for
financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate
period-to-period comparisons. The Company presents these non-GAAP
financial measures because it believes them to be an important
supplemental measure of performance that is commonly used by securities
analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of
companies in our industry. We refer you to the reconciliations below.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (or loss) from
operations before interest expense, benefit or provision for income
taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, warrant
obligations, non-recurring acquisition, restructuring or other expenses,
gain or loss on cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment, gain
on sale of asset, bad debt expense outside the normal range, and
goodwill and long-lived asset impairment charges. The Company excludes
stock-based compensation because it is non-cash in nature. The Company
defines Non-GAAP Net Income as earnings (or loss) before benefit or
provision for income taxes, amortization of intangibles, goodwill and
long-lived asset impairment charges, non-recurring acquisition and
restructuring costs, bad debt expense outside the normal range and
non-cash stock based compensation.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative
to net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities, as
a measure of liquidity or any other financial measure. They may not be
indicative of the historical operating results of the Company nor is it
intended to be predictive of potential future results. Investors should
not consider non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as a substitute
for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Love. Live. LOVOO. (Graphic: Business Wire)

“We are excited to launch LOVOO Live in Germany,” said Geoff Cook, Chief
Executive Officer of The Meet Group. “LOVOO is our largest app by daily
active users, and Germany is by far its largest country. With LOVOO Live
now rolling out in Germany and expected to be fully available in the
coming weeks, we have brought live video to all of our major apps. Now,
we are focused on a deep product pipeline that we believe will continue
to grow our livestreaming audience and monetization.”

“Our livestreaming video revenue continues to grow,” said Cook. “Our
annualized video revenue run rate now exceeds $35 million based on
June’s results, up 20% in two months. With our 1-on-1 livestreaming
feature, Quick™, planned for launch later this summer, and with LOVOO
and Tagged, which we believe are still very early in their monetization
trajectory, we are focused on rapidly expanding our livestreaming
business.”

“The early monetization data coming from LOVOO in other markets has been
good,” continued Cook. “In recent weeks, we’ve doubled the number of
gifts per gifter. What’s more, LOVOO not only has the highest share of
gifters at launch of any app in our portfolio, it is already on par with
our highest performing app, MeetMe, on that important metric, with
approximately 3% of viewers sending gifts. We believe livestreaming
enables dating apps to expand into social entertainment platforms and
that we are well positioned to benefit from this global trend.”

Video Rollout Progressing Ahead of Schedule

NEW HOPE, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
The Meet Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:MEET), a public market leader in the mobile

video on LOVOO, its leading European dating app, in Spain and Italy.

France with this expansion to Spain and Italy,” said Geoff Cook, Chief
Executive Officer of The Meet Group. “We are progressing ahead of
schedule, and we expect to bring Live to Germany, LOVOO’s largest

Live gives LOVOO users a brand-new way to interact with one another by
allowing them to broadcast from anywhere at any time. The Live feature

genuine relationships,” said Florian Braunschweig, co-founder of LOVOO

viewer watch more than 15 minutes per day, and approximately 2% of them
are rewarding broadcasters with gifts for creating content that they
value and a real feeling of connection.”

Cook added, “Alongside our ongoing progress in Europe, we continue to
see solid performance from Live on MeetMe and Skout, with Tagged Live
showing signs of starting on a similar trajectory. As a combined

of March.”

whether LOVOO Live’s early success is confirming that livestreaming has
become important in the context of meeting new people and forming

DRESDEN, Germany–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
LOVOO, a leading European dating app, today announced the launch of live
video in France and Switzerland.

LOVE. LIVE. LOVOO. (Photo: Business Wire)

LOVOO Live enables users to broadcast and view live-streaming video,
invite others to join their streams, chat, and earn virtual gifts,
creating more authentic interactions and making it even easier to meet
new people. The release of live video in France and Switzerland follows
the launch of Live in Austria two weeks ago, where an average of 15% of
users engaged with video on the first day.

“Early Live data from France and Switzerland is good, with the average
user watching more than 15 minutes per day and the average broadcaster
streaming for more than 45 minutes a day, levels comparable to what we
saw in the early days of video on our MeetMe app,” said Geoff Cook,
Chief Executive Officer of The Meet Group.

“What has been surprising is the rapid adoption of gifting on LOVOO,”
continued Cook. “On MeetMe, it took 6 months from the launch of gifts to
reach 2% of viewers giving gifts. On LOVOO, we achieved that milestone
in the first week. Since gifting is the centerpiece of our video
monetization engine, we are heartened to see this early data. We believe
it is a testament to our ever-improving video platform, which enables us
to build a feature once and rapidly deploy it across four different apps
of scale. We expect to continue to execute on our plan to roll out LOVOO
Live on a country-by-country basis throughout the second half of 2018,
with the next major releases planned in Italy, Spain, and Germany.”

Said Florian Braunschweig, co-founder of LOVOO and GM Europe for The
Meet Group: “We believe that livestreaming will play an important role
in the future of dating. Our users want to show themselves and their
world, and livestreaming video is a powerful technology that delivers
not only authenticity and connection but also entertainment. Dating,
relationships, and love are inherently interesting, and we believe Live
will become an important new feature for LOVOO.”

NEW HOPE, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
The Meet Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEET), a public market leader in the
mobile meeting space, today reported financial results for its first
quarter ended March 31, 2018.

First Quarter 2018 Financial Highlights

• Total revenue of $37.6 million, up 88% year over year
• Mobile revenue of $30.7 million, up 63% year over year
• GAAP net loss of $4.2 million, or a net loss of $0.06 per share,
  compared to GAAP net income of $0.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted
  share, in the prior year quarter
• Adjusted EBITDA of $5.2 million, up 9% year over year
• Non-GAAP net income of $4.1 million, or $0.05 per diluted share,
  compared to $4.3 million or $0.07 per diluted share in the prior year
  quarter

(See the important discussion about the presentation of non-GAAP
financial measures, and reconciliation to the most direct comparable
GAAP financial measure, below.)

“We are off to a strong start to the year, with growth from live video
monetization accelerating at an even faster pace than we had
anticipated,” said Geoff Cook, Chief Executive Officer of The Meet
Group. “Video revenue grew approximately 120% from December 2017 to
March 2018, which we attribute to momentum on our MeetMe app, the launch
of livestreaming monetization on Skout, and our focus on strengthening
our livestreaming community and the quality of our livestreams. Our
annualized video revenue run rate now exceeds $29 million based on
April’s results, up 53% from February’s run rate.

“Key video metrics are improving, and we are setting new highs on a
regular basis,” continued Cook. “We have been particularly pleased to
see average revenue per paying video user grow to $76 for the month of
March on MeetMe Live. Average revenue per daily active user for MeetMe
Live, or vARPDAU, in the United States increased to 44 cents in March
and is now nearing levels achieved by leading livestreaming companies in
Asia. Total vARPDAU, which includes Skout and MeetMe, was 18 cents in
March. Importantly, the percentage of MeetMe users engaged in video
exceeded 25% for the first time in April.

“We are continuing to video-enable more of our large, global community
and build our social entertainment platform. Having recently rolled-out
our shared livestreaming platform on Tagged, we are pleased to announce
that we have launched enhanced video monetization on that app, ahead of
schedule. We expect to begin launching live video on Lovoo later this
month, starting with Austria. We expect our rollout of live video to
more of our users, combined with our deep product pipeline, to
contribute to continued growth in video revenue.”

First Quarter 2018 Financial Results

For the first quarter of 2018, The Meet Group reported revenue of $37.6
million, an increase of 88% from $20.1 million in the prior year
quarter. GAAP net loss was $4.2 million, or a net loss of $0.06 per
share, compared to net income of $0.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted
share in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of
2018 was $5.2 million compared to $4.8 million in the prior year quarter.

The Company ended the quarter with $28.0 million in cash and cash
equivalents. Cash flow from operating activities was $7.4 million.

Company Outlook

The Company is providing the following outlook for the second quarter of
2018 and is increasing its outlook for the full year 2018.

Second quarter 2018:

• Revenue in the range of $38.0 million to $39.0 million
• Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $5.3 million to $5.6 million

Full year 2018:

1995, including whether second quarter 2018 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA
will be in the projected range, whether video growth will continue as
expected, whether average revenue per paying video user and average
revenue per daily active user will continue to grow as expected, whether
user engagement in video will continue to increase, whether and when we
will launch live video on our Lovoo app and whether the rollout of video
to more of our users combined with our deep product pipeline will
contribute to continued growth in video revenue. All statements other

statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “estimate,” “continue,”
“anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “plan,” “could,” “target,”

statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on
our current expectations and projections about future events and
financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition,
results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. Important
factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the

not launch additional features and upgrades as anticipated, the risk
that unanticipated events affect the functionality of our applications

required by law.

Regulation G – Non-GAAP Measures

The Company defines mobile traffic and engagement metrics (including
MAU, DAU, chats per day, and new users per day) to include mobile app
traffic for all properties and mobile web traffic for MeetMe, Skout and
Lovoo.

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP Net Income, which are not
calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (“GAAP”), in evaluating its financial and
operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to period
comparison. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for
financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate
period-to-period comparisons. The Company presents these non-GAAP
financial measures because it believes them to be an important
supplemental measure of performance that is commonly used by securities
analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of
companies in our industry. We refer you to the reconciliations below.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (or loss) from

• Announces rollout of Tagged livestreaming on The Meet Group’s
  shared platform
• Reports strong gains in key video metrics

NEW HOPE, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
The Meet Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEET), a public market leader in the
mobile meeting space, today provided an update on its livestreaming
video rollout and key video operating results.

“We see momentum in video building,” said Geoff Cook, Chief Executive
Officer of The Meet Group. “We have begun the rollout of Tagged
livestreaming on our shared video platform, and we expect to launch
enhanced video monetization on Tagged next month. Additionally, we are
ahead of schedule with our plans to bring live video to Lovoo, and we
now expect to begin rolling out the feature in a phased approach
starting in May.

“What’s more, we have been setting new all-time highs related to video
engagement and monetization across The Meet Group’s portfolio:

• The number of monetizing users continues to increase on MeetMe and
  Skout. In particular, the number of paid gifters increased 36% in
  March over February. Gifters buy virtual gifts for livestreamers.
• Video users as a share of mobile daily active users (or vDAU%) on
  MeetMe exceeded 25% for the first time ever last week.
• Total broadcast time across our shared video platform exceeded 4
  million minutes for the first time this week, and total streaming time
  exceeded 10 million minutes — combining for over 26 years of live
  video engagement in a single day.

“We expect Lovoo and Tagged to drive continued growth of video
engagement and monetization. Additionally, we have a deep pipeline of
product features and enhancements that we believe will continue to drive
video DAU and video ARPDAU, while also creating richer, more meaningful
connections within our community,” continued Cook. “We recently began
rolling out gender filters on MeetMe so that users can connect via live
video, and we merged our Skout and MeetMe audiences, giving users of
both platforms access to a greater number of potential connections.
Skout Live is performing well and is already contributing meaningfully
to total video revenue.”

NEW HOPE, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
The Meet Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEET), a public market leader in the
mobile meeting space, today reported financial results for its fourth
quarter and full year ended December 31, 2017.

Fourth Quarter 2017 Financial Highlights

• Total revenue of $40.1 million, up 37% year over year
• Mobile revenue of $32.0 million, up 15% year over year
• GAAP net loss of $67.7 million, or $0.94 per diluted share primarily
  as a result of a non-cash asset impairment charge and deferred tax
  charge of $56.4 million and $7.7 million, respectively, compared to
  GAAP net income of $9.9 million, or $0.15 per diluted share in the
  prior year quarter
• Adjusted EBITDA of $10.5 million, compared to $12.8 million in the
  prior year quarter
• Non-GAAP net income of $9.5 million, or $0.12 per diluted share,
  compared to $12.4 million or $0.19 per diluted share in the prior year
  quarter

Full Year 2017 Financial Highlights

• Total revenue of $123.8 million, up 63% year over year
• Mobile revenue of $97.8 million, up 38% year over year
• GAAP net loss of $64.2 million, or $0.93 per diluted share primarily
  as a result of a non-cash asset impairment charge and deferred tax
  charge of $56.4 million and $7.7 million, respectively, compared to
  GAAP net income of $46.3 million, or $0.80 per diluted share in the
  prior year
• Adjusted EBITDA of $31.6 million, up 8% year over year, or a 26% margin
• Non-GAAP net income of $28.5 million, or $0.39 per diluted share,
  compared to $26.9 million or $0.47 per diluted share in the prior year

(See the important discussion about the presentation of non-GAAP
financial measures, and reconciliation to the most direct comparable
GAAP financial measure, below.)

“Video has arrived at The Meet Group,” said Geoff Cook, Chief Executive
Officer. “While we only just began to monetize livestreaming video in
the fourth quarter of 2017, it’s already a $19 million annualized run
rate business based on the month of February’s results, up 70% versus
the fourth quarter average.

“We believe that’s remarkable progress, particularly given that we’ve
deployed video on only two of our four major apps, representing just 40%
of our total daily active users (DAU). We expect video revenue to
continue to grow quickly in 2018 and beyond, as we seek to rapidly
expand our daily video audience and improve our per-video-user
monetization rates. We are in the process of video-enabling our large,
global social community, and we believe that outside of Asia we are the
only social dating company of size with a full-scale commitment to live
video.

“It is important to note,” Cook said, “that we expect the first quarter
of 2018 will be the first quarter in our history in which we generate
the majority of our revenue from user-pay, rather than advertising.
Fueled by the early success of video on MeetMe and Skout and our
acquisitions of Lovoo and Tagged, our share of user-pay revenue grew
from 6% in the fourth quarter of 2016 to 39% in the fourth quarter of
2017. We expect it will approach 60% in the first quarter of 2018. As we
continue to transition toward a user-pay revenue model, we continue to
manage costs closely to support our short-term and long-term financial
strength. Earlier this week we reduced our cost structure by an
additional $7 million on an annualized basis, primarily through
headcount and operating expense reductions in our San Francisco office.

“I am also pleased to announce the appointment of Jim Bugden as our
Chief Financial Officer. We believe Jim is the ideal financial partner
to help us navigate the transformation of our business model from
advertising to user-pay. He was the long-time CFO of myYearbook (the
predecessor of The Meet Group), and played a key role in diversifying
our revenue model through acquisitions of new lines of business as the
SVP of Corporate Development. Additionally, our Board of Directors
appointed Spencer Grimes as a member. Spencer brings considerable
experience in finance and media, currently as Managing Partner of
Twinleaf Management LLC, a Connecticut-based registered investment
adviser focused on small cap equities in media and technology. Mr.
Grimes is also an adjunct professor of digital media at The New School
in New York City. I look forward to working closely with Jim and
Spencer.”

Fourth Quarter and Full Year Financial Results

For the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company reported revenue of $40.1
million, an increase from $29.2 million year over year. GAAP net loss
was $67.7 million, or $0.94 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net
income of $9.9 million, or $0.15 per diluted share year over year. GAAP
net loss includes both a non-cash asset impairment charge and a deferred
tax charge, both of which contributed to the year over year change. In
our annual impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets, we
determined that a write-down of goodwill of $56.4 million was required
for our U.S. reporting entity. We believe this was due predominantly to
the market-driven impacts on advertising revenue resulting from lower
CPMs that negatively affected our results and outlook. We do not expect
that this non-cash impairment charge will impact our ability to generate
cash flow in the future. In addition, at the end of fourth quarter, with
the passage of the new corporate tax law, we took a $7.7 million
one-time, non-cash charge to adjust the value of our deferred tax asset.
Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2017 was $10.5 million compared
to $12.8 million year over year.

For the full year 2017, the Company reported revenue of $123.8 million,
an increase from $76.1 million in 2016. GAAP net loss for the year was
$64.2 million, or $0.93 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income
of $46.3 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, in the prior year. The
Company reported a non-cash asset impairment charge for our U.S.
reporting entity and a deferred tax charge of $56.4 million and $7.7
million, respectively, related to the reasons noted above. Adjusted
EBITDA for the full year 2017 was $31.6 million, compared to $29.3
million in 2016. Non-GAAP net income was $28.5 million, or $0.39 per
diluted share, compared to $26.9 million or $0.47 per diluted share in
the prior year.

The Company ended the year with approximately $24 million in cash and
cash equivalents.

quarter and full year 2017 financial results today, March 7, 2018 at

of 2018 will be the first in our history in which we generate the

“should,” “plan,” “could,” “target,” “potential,” “project,” “is

Regulation G – Non-GAAP Measures

The Company defines mobile traffic and engagement metrics (including
MAU, DAU, chats per day, and new users per day) to include mobile app
traffic for all properties and mobile web traffic for MeetMe and Skout.

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP Net Income, which are not
calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (“GAAP”), in evaluating its financial and
operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to period
comparison. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for
financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate
period-to-period comparisons. The Company presents these non-GAAP
financial measures because it believes them to be an important
supplemental measure of performance that is commonly used by securities
analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of
companies in our industry. We refer you to the reconciliations below.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (or loss) from
operations before interest expense, benefit or provision for income
taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, warrant
obligations, non-recurring acquisition, restructuring or other expenses,
gain or loss on cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment, gain
on sale of asset, bad debt expense outside the normal range, and
goodwill and long-lived asset impairment charges. The Company excludes
stock-based compensation because it is non-cash in nature. The Company
defines Non-GAAP Net Income as earnings (or loss) before benefit or
provision for income taxes, amortization of intangibles, non-recurring
acquisition and restructuring costs, bad debt expense outside the normal
range, and non-cash stock based compensation.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative
to net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities, as
a measure of liquidity or any other financial measure. They may not be
indicative of the historical operating results of the Company nor is it
intended to be predictive of potential future results. Investors should
not consider non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as a substitute
for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
