As we begin to leverage our new joint capabilities with REV and their strong management team, we will build upon this momentum and continue to explore additional strategic opportunities for growth through acquisition.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release contains certain non-GAAP measures, including adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) and service fee equivalent revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings (or losses) before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization without the effect of stock-based compensation and acquisition related costs. Service fee equivalent revenue represents service fee revenue plus the gross profit earned on product revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA and service fee equivalent revenue are used by management, analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry. The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the effect of stock-based compensation, acquisition related costs and the effect of financing, income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending, which items may vary from different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. Service fee equivalent revenue allows client contracts with similar operational support models but different financial models to be combined as if all contracts were being operated on a service fee revenue basis.
PFSweb believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by focusing on certain operational metrics and excluding certain expenses to present its core operating performance and results. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.
