1Constant currency revenue is a non-GAAP measure, which we define as GAAP revenue in the current period translated using the prior period average monthly exchange rates for revenue transactions in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The constant currency revenue percentage change is determined using current period constant currency revenue and prior period GAAP revenue.

2Adjusted gross margin is a non-GAAP measure, which we define as GAAP revenue less adjusted cost of revenue divided by GAAP revenue. Adjusted cost of revenue is a non-GAAP measure and excludes stock-based compensation expense, payroll and other tax expense related to stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and certain other non-cash or non-recurring items impacting net income (loss) from time to time.

3Adjusted EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP measure, which we define as Adjusted EBITDA divided by GAAP revenue. See Appendix for non-GAAP measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, including reconciliations of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA and net cash provided by (used in) operating activities to Free Cash Flow.
