Key Performance Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Total Subscribers
Total Subscribers represent the total number of subscribers to our live TV streaming services, including Fubo and Hulu +
Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures defined as Net Income (Loss) and Pro
Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP financial measures defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenue and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA divided by Pro Forma Revenue, respectively.
Free Cash Flow
Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, reduced by capital expenditures (consisting of purchases of property and equipment), capitalization of internal use software, purchases of intangible assets and gain on settlement of litigation, net. We believe Free Cash Flow is an important liquidity measure of the cash that is available for operational expenses, investments in our business, strategic acquisitions, and for certain other activities such as repaying debt obligations and stock repurchases. Free Cash Flow is a key financial indicator used by management. Free Cash Flow is useful to investors as a liquidity measure because it measures our ability to generate or use cash. The use of Free Cash Flow as an analytical tool has limitations due to the fact that it does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Because of these limitations, Free Cash Flow should be considered along with other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP.
Reconciliation of Key Performance Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Certain measures used in this press release, including Adjusted EBITDA, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Free Cash Flow, are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these are useful financial measures for investors as they are supplemental measures used by management in evaluating our core operating performance. Our non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results under GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures versus their nearest GAAP equivalents. First, these non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Second, these non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information directly comparable to measures provided by other companies in our industry, as those other companies may calculate their non-GAAP financial measures differently.
The following tables include reconciliations of the historical non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
