Non-IFRS Measures
This news release includes reference to “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA excluding non-recurring stock-based compensation balance sheet adjustment” and “Adjusted Operating Expense”, which are non-International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) financial measures. Non-IFRS measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA is used as an alternative to net income by removing major non-cash items ,such as depreciation, amortization, interest, stock-based compensation, current and deferred income tax expenses and other items management considers non-operating in nature.
Adjusted EBITDA excluding non-recurring stock based compensation balance sheet adjustment is used as an alternative to net income by removing major non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization, interest, stock-based compensation, current and deferred income tax expenses and other items management considers non-operating in nature, but removes a non-recurring balance sheet adjustment recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Adjusted Operating Expense is used as an alternative to operating expenses by removing major non-cash items such as stock-based compensation, depreciation, and other unique or non-cash expenses, while retaining ongoing fixed operating expenses and excluding variable cash expenses associated with revenue share.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA excluding non-recurring stock-based compensation balance sheet adjustment, and Adjusted Operating Expense have no direct comparable IFRS financial measures. The Company has used or included these non-IFRS measures solely to provide investors with added insight into Real’s financial performance. Readers are cautioned that such non-IFRS measures may not be appropriate for any other purpose. Non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA excluding non-recurring stock based compensation balance sheet adjustment are reconciled to the most comparable IFRS measure for the three months and twelve months ended
