Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Quotient reports its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and the rules of the SEC. To supplement its financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, Quotient provides investors in this press release with non-GAAP Gross Profit, non-GAAP Gross Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and non-GAAP Operating Expenses, each a non-GAAP financial measure. Quotient believes that these non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional useful information used by Quotient's management and Board of Directors for financial and operating decision making. In particular, Quotient believes that the exclusion of certain income and expenses in calculating these metrics can provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of its core business as well as a useful comparison to peer companies.

Quotient defines non-GAAP Gross Profit as revenue less cost of revenues adjusted for stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, certain business transformation and strategic initiatives costs, expenses related to legal settlements, and restructuring charges; and defines non-GAAP Gross Margin as non-GAAP Gross Profit divided by Revenue.

Quotient defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for interest expense, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, other (income) expense, net, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, impairment of certain long-lived and right-of-use assets, shareholder activism response costs, expenses related to legal settlements, restructuring charges, and certain business transformation and strategic initiatives costs. In addition, Quotient defines Adjusted EBITDA margin as the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA and revenues; and non-GAAP operating expenses as operating expenses adjusted for stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring charges, impairment of certain long-lived and right-of-use assets, shareholder activism response costs, expenses related to legal settlements, and certain business transformation and strategic initiatives costs.

Quotient excludes certain GAAP items from these measures because it believes these items are not indicative of ordinary results of operations and do not reflect expected future operating expenses. Additionally, certain items are inconsistent in size and frequency—making it difficult to contribute to a meaningful evaluation of Quotient's current or past operating performance.

There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures. Quotient compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amount excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures and evaluating these non-GAAP financial measures together with their relevant GAAP financial measures.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation from, as substitute for, or as superior to the corresponding financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because of these and other limitations, the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release should be considered along with other GAAP-based financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net income (loss) and Quotient's other GAAP financial results.

For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest comparable GAAP financial measures, see "Reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin", "Reconciliation of Gross Profit to Non-GAAP Gross Profit", "Reconciliation of Operating Expenses to Non-GAAP Operating Expenses" and "Reconciliation of Gross Profit to Non-GAAP Gross Profit (Forecasted)" included in this press release.

A reconciliation of the Adjusted EBITDA guidance metrics, which are non-GAAP guidance measures, to a corresponding GAAP measure is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and low visibility of certain (income) expense items that are excluded in calculating Adjusted EBITDA.
