21 Our adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross profit margin are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted gross profit is calculated as gross profit excluding amortization of internally developed software utilized to directly serve our customers and contracted carriers. Adjusted gross profit margin is calculated as adjusted gross profit divided by total revenues. We believe adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross profit margin are useful measures of our ability to source, add value, and sell services and products that are provided by third parties, and we consider adjusted gross profit to be a primary performance measurement. The reconciliation of gross profit to adjusted gross profit and gross profit margin to adjusted gross profit margin are presented below: Three Months Ended March 31 $ in thousands 2022 2021 Revenues: Transportation $6,528,351 $4,560,227 Sourcing 287,602 243,642 Total Revenues 6,815,953 4,803,869 Costs and expenses: Purchased transportation and related services 5,650,224 3,881,285 Purchased produced sourced for resale 259,533 220,204 Direct internally developed software amortization 5,734 4,647 Total direct costs 5,915,491 4,106,136 Gross profit & Gross profit margin $900,462 13.2 % $697,733 14.5 % Plus: Direct internally developed software amortization 5,734 4,647 Adjusted gross profit/Adjusted gross profit margin $906,196 13.3 % $702,380 14.6 % Non-GAAP Reconciliations


 
Non-GAAP Reconciliations 22 Our adjusted operating margin is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as operating income divided by adjusted gross profit. We believe adjusted operating margin is a useful measure of our profitability in comparison to our adjusted gross profit which we consider a primary performance metric as discussed above. The reconciliation of operating margin to adjusted operating margin is presented below: Three Months Ended March 31 $ in thousands 2022 2021 Total Revenues $ 6,815,953 $ 4,803,869 Operating income 345,474 223,329 Operating margin 5.1 % 4.6 % Adjusted gross profit $ 906,196 $ 702,380 Operating income 345,474 223,329 Adjusted operating margin 38.1 % 31.8 %
