Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), we have provided certain measures that have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP results for cost of revenue, gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, net loss and basic and diluted net loss per share, which are in addition to, and, not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquired intangible assets. We believe the presentation of operating results excluding stock-based compensation expense and the amortization of acquired intangible assets provides useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of our core operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods and is therefore useful to investors in analyzing and assessing our past and future operating performance.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to such GAAP measures can be found in the accompanying financial statements included with this press release.
