Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company has included non-GAAP revenue growth by region and
by service line that excludes the impact of changes in foreign
currency exchange rates (collectively, “non-GAAP revenue growth”).
Management believes these metrics, when viewed in conjunction with
the comparable GAAP metrics, are useful in evaluating the
underlying business trends and ongoing operating performance of the
Company.
The Company has included earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and EBITDA, adjusted for
stock-based compensation expense, unrealized (gain) loss on foreign
currency and costs related to the Japan closure activities
(collectively, “Adjusted EBITDA”), in this press release to provide
investors with additional information regarding the Company’s
financial results. The Company has also included earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization margin (“EBITDA
margin”) and EBITDA margin, adjusted for stock-based compensation
expense, unrealized (gain) loss on foreign currency and costs
related to the Japan closure activities (collectively, “Adjusted
EBITDA margin”), in this press release to provide investors with
additional information regarding the Company’s financial
results.
The Company has included non-GAAP gross margin, adjusted for
stock-based compensation expense and amortization expense in this
press release to provide investors with additional information
regarding the Company’s financial results.
The Company has included non-GAAP operating margin, adjusted for
stock-based compensation expense, amortization expense and costs
related to the closure of Japan (collectively, “non-GAAP operating
margin”), in this press release to provide investors with
additional information regarding the Company’s financial
results.
The Company has included non-GAAP net income, adjusted for
stock-based compensation expense, amortization expense, unrealized
(gain) loss on foreign currency and costs related to the closure of
Japan (collectively, “non-GAAP net income”), in this press release
to provide investors with additional information regarding the
Company’s financial results.
The Company has provided below reconciliations of GAAP to
non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating
margin, non-GAAP revenue growth by region and by service, and
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, the most directly
comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with
GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are used by the Company’s management
and board of directors to understand and evaluate operating
performance and trends and provide useful measures for
period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s business.
Accordingly, the Company believes that these non-GAAP measures
provide useful information to investors and others in understanding
and evaluating operating results in the same manner as our
management and board of directors.

For the three and six months ended June
30, 2024 and 2023, income tax effects were calculated using the
effective tax rate for the relevant jurisdictions. The Company's
non-GAAP tax rates differ from its GAAP tax rates due primarily to
the mix of activity incurred in domestic and foreign tax
jurisdictions and removing effective tax rate benefits from
stock-based compensation activity in the quarter.
