Paysign, Inc. Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement Paysign’s financial results presented on a GAAP basis, we use a non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA defined as net income less the following cash and non-cash items: interest, taxes, stock-based compensation, amortization and depreciation. We believe this non-GAAP measure helps investors better evaluate our past financial performance and potential future results. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP accounting and investors should read them in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

“EBITDA” is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense. “Adjusted EBITDA” reflects the adjustment to EBITDA to exclude stock-based compensation charges. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flows from operations, operating income (loss) or net income (loss) as defined by U.S. GAAP as indicators of operating performance.

Management cautions that amounts presented in accordance with Paysign’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA or any other non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies because not all companies calculate Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP measures in the same manner.
