About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses measures of operating results which are adjusted to exclude interest expense (income), net, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense and stock-based retailer incentive compensation. In particular, the Company discloses Adjusted EBITDA, which is calculated by adding stock-based compensation expense and stock-based retailer incentive expense to net income before interest expense (income), income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). These non-GAAP results are not in accordance with, or an alternative or substitute for, results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and should be read only in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company's non-GAAP financial measures may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The Company believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to management and investors regarding underlying trends in its consolidated financial condition and results of operations. The Company's management regularly uses these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate the Company's business and make operating decisions. For additional information regarding the Company's use of Adjusted EBITDA and the items excluded by the Company from one or more of its non-GAAP financial measures, investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, which are attached to this earnings release, and which can be found on the Investor Relations section of our website at http://ir.greendot.com.

(1) These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and should be read only in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to management and investors regarding underlying trends in its consolidated financial condition and results of operations. The Company's management regularly uses these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate the Company's business and make operating decisions. For a detailed explanation of these non-GAAP financial measures, please refer to the following footnotes.
(2) The Company discloses Adjusted EBITDA in its earnings releases because it uses it as an important supplemental measure of its overall operating performance and believes that similarly-titled measures are widely used by investors to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items, such as interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense and stock-based retailer incentive compensation, that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon their financing structure and accounting policies, the book value of their assets, their capital structures and the method by which their assets were acquired. The Company's management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the Company's performance as compared to other companies in the Company's industry that have different financing and capital structures and/or tax rates. See also footnotes (3) and (5). In addition, Adjusted EBITDA has material limitations as a performance measure because it does not reflect:

  • the Company's capital expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or other contractual commitments;
  • the changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company's working capital needs;
  • interest expense or interest income;
  • cash requirements for income taxes;
  • reflect any cash requirements for the replacement, if any, of the assets being depreciated or amortized; and
  • other companies in the Company's industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than the Company does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

(3) This expense consists primarily of expenses for employee stock options. Stock-based compensation expense is not comparable from period to period due to changes in accounting treatment, changes in the fair market value of the Company's Class A common stock (which is influenced by external factors like the volatility of public markets) and the financial performance of our peers, and is not a key measure of our operations. The Company excludes stock-based compensation expense from its non-GAAP financial measures primarily and because it consists of non-cash expenses that the Company does not believe are reflective of ongoing operating results. Further, the Company believes that it is useful to investors to understand the impact of stock-based compensation to its results of operations.
(4) The Company excludes the income tax impact of the associated non-GAAP adjustment from Adjusted EBITDA or Non-GAAP total operating revenues, as the case may be, because each of these non-GAAP financial measures is provided before income tax (benefit) expense.
(5) This expense consists of the recorded fair value of the shares for which the Company's right to repurchase has lapsed under the terms of the agreement under which they were issued to Walmart Stores, Inc., a contra-revenue component of the Company's total operating revenues. The Company would record additional stock-based retailer incentive compensation to the extent that a warrant to purchase its Class B common stock vests and becomes exercisable upon the achievement of certain performance goals by PayPal. Prior to the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company did not record stock-based retailer incentive compensation expense. In future periods, the Company does not expect this expense will be comparable from period to period due to changes in the fair value of its Class A common stock. The Company does not believe these non-cash expenses are reflective of ongoing operating results.
