Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Borderfree has provided in this release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Borderfree uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating Borderfree 's ongoing operational performance. Borderfree believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing its financial results with other companies in Borderfree's industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.  This information includes adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, pro forma non-GAAP net loss per share, and free cash flow. Borderfree defines adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before income taxes, interest income (expense), depreciation and amortization, loss on change in fair value of warrants, stock-based compensation expense, gain recognized from the sale of the Global Settlements Service, or GSS, business in August 2011, and market based royalties and outsourcing servicing fees earned as a result of the sale of GSS, which we refer to as other income –GSS, and other one-time items; non-GAAP net income (loss) as net income (loss) excluding non-cash stock-based compensation, loss on change in fair value of warrants, other income-GSS and other one-time items; and free cash flow as cash provided by (used in) operating activities adjusted for purchases of property and equipment and capitalized internal use software. Non-GAAP financial measures that Borderfree uses may differ from measures that other companies may use. 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 measure.
