Appendix Proprietary Information 21


Key Metrics Definitions We define variable marketing margin, or VMM, as revenue, as reported in our consolidated statements of operations and Variable comprehensive income (loss), less advertising costs (a component of sales and marketing expense, as reported in our statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss)). We use VMM to measure the efficiency of individual advertising and consumer Marketing acquisition sources and to make trade-off decisions to manage our return on advertising. We do not use VMM as a measure of Margin profitability. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude: stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, acquisition-related costs, legal settlement expense, one-time severance charges, interest income and the Adjusted provision for (benefit from) income taxes. We monitor & present Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management & board of directors to understand & evaluate our operating performance, to establish budgets & to develop EBITDA operational goals for managing our business.
