Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company's Adjusted EBITDA guidance does not include certain charges and costs. The adjustments in future periods are generally expected to be similar to the kinds of charges and costs excluded from Adjusted EBITDA in prior periods, such as the impact of income tax benefit or expense, non-operating income, foreign currency transaction gain or loss associated w ith our UK operations, net interest expense, stock-based compensation expense and depreciation and amortization expense, among others. The Company is not able to provide a reconciliation of the Company's non-GAAP financial guidance to the corresponding GAAP measure w ithout unreasonable effort because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of these future charges and costs.
