*Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
FORM uses GAAP and non-GAAP measurements to assess the trends in its business. With respect to XpresSpa, FORM reviews XpresSpa adjusted EBITDA, which is earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization expense, excluding one-time costs (e.g. M&A and integration related costs).
FORM considers EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be important indicators for the performance of its business, but not measures of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. FORM has included these non-GAAP financial measures because management utilizes this information for assessing its performance and liquidity, and as indicators of its ability to make capital expenditures and finance working capital requirements. Management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are measurements that are commonly used by analysts and some investors in evaluating the performance and liquidity of companies such as FORM. In particular, FORM believes that it is useful for analysts and investors to understand this relationship because it excludes transactions not related to FORM's core cash operating activities. FORM believes that excluding these transactions allows investors to meaningfully trend and analyze the performance of FORM's core cash operations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities or as alternatives to operating income or as indicators of operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. In evaluating FORM's performance as measured by EBITDA, management recognizes and considers the limitations of this measurement. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect FORM's obligations for the payment of income taxes, interest expense, or other obligations such as capital expenditures. Accordingly, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are only two of the measurements that management utilizes.
