Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On May 16, 2022, AutoWeb, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("AutoWeb" or "Company"),
announced in a press release its financial results for the quarter ended March
31, 2022. A copy of AutoWeb's press release announcing these financial results
is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
In connection with the press release, the Company also held a conference call
that was webcast on May 16, 2022. A transcript of that call is attached as
Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The attached press release and transcript contain information that includes
"Adjusted EBITDA," a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in Regulation G
adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company defines Adjusted
EBITDA as net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash
stock-based compensation, non-cash gains or losses, and other extraordinary
items. The Company's management believes that presenting Adjusted EBITDA
provides useful information to investors regarding the underlying business
trends and performance of the Company's ongoing operations, as well as providing
for more consistent period-over-period comparisons. This non-GAAP measure also
assists management in its operational and financial decision-making and
monitoring the Company's performance. In addition, the Company uses Adjusted
EBITDA as a measure for determining incentive compensation targets. Adjusted
EBITDA is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in
accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP
financial measures. Management strongly encourages investors to review the
Company's consolidated financial statement in their entirety and to not rely on
any single financial measure. A table providing a reconciliation of Adjusted
EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP financial measure is included at the end of
the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The attached press release and transcript are incorporated herein solely for
purposes of this Item 2.02 disclosure. The information furnished pursuant to
this Item 2.02, including the exhibits attached hereto, shall not be deemed to
be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended ("Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that
section, nor shall it be incorporated by reference into any filings under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any
incorporation by reference language of such filing. In addition, the press
release and transcript furnished as exhibits to this report include "safe
harbor" language pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995, stating that certain statements about AutoWeb's business contained in the
press release and transcript are "forward-looking" rather than "historic."
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain
Officers.
On May 16, 2022, Chan W. Galbato notified the Chairman of the Company's Board of
Directors ("Board") that, effective immediately, he was resigning his position
as a member of the Board. Mr. Galbato was a member of the Board's Audit
Committee, Compensation Committee, and Corporate Governance and Nominations
