Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided reconciliations within the press release of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Disclosure regarding definitions of these measures used by the Company and why the Company’s management believes the measures provide useful information to investors is also included in the press release.

 

The Company will conduct a conference call to discuss its financial results on Monday, May 18, 2020, at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time.

 

The information in this Report, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Such information shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

 

Statements contained in this report contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Particular uncertainties that could adversely or positively affect the Company’s future results include: the Company may not have sufficient resources to fund its business and may need to issue debt or equity to obtain additional funding; the Company’s reliance on a significant portion of its revenues from a limited number of customers; risks relating to operating in a highly competitive industry; risks relating to the failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting; risks relating to rapid technological, structural, and competitive changes affecting the industries the Company serves; risks involved in properly managing complex projects; risks relating to the possible cancellation of customer contracts on short notice; risks relating to the Company’s ability to continue to implement its strategy, including having sufficient financial resources to carry out that strategy; risks relating to the Company’s ability to meet all of the terms and conditions of its debt obligations; uncertainty related to current economic conditions, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the related impact on demand for the Company’s services; and other risks and uncertainties disclosed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. These uncertainties may cause the Company’s actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in the Company’s forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental financial measure not defined under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, impairment loss on goodwill and other intangibles, stock-based compensation, and provision for bad debts. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe this supplemental measure of operating performance is helpful in comparing our operating results across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding non-cash items that may, or could, have a disproportionate positive or negative impact on our results of operations in any particular period. We also use Adjusted EBITDA as a factor in evaluating the performance of certain management personnel when determining incentive compensation.

 

Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, while providing useful information, should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income or cash flows as determined under GAAP. Consistent with Regulation G under the U.S. federal securities laws, Adjusted EBITDA has been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure, and this reconciliation is located under the heading “Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation” following the Consolidated Statements of Operations included in this press release.

In this context, forward-looking statements may address matters such as our expected future business and financial performance, and often contain words such as “guidance,” “prospects,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “should,” or “will.” Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. Particular uncertainties that could adversely or positively affect the Company's future results include: we may not have sufficient resources to fund our business and may need to issue debt or equity to obtain additional funding; our reliance on a significant portion of our revenues from a limited number of customers; risks relating to operating in a highly competitive industry; risks relating to the failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting; risks relating to rapid technological, structural, and competitive changes affecting the industries we serve; risks involved in properly managing complex projects; risks relating to the possible cancellation of customer contracts on short notice; risks relating our ability to continue to implement our strategy, including having sufficient financial resources to carry out that strategy; risks relating to our ability to meet all of the terms and conditions of our debt obligations; uncertainty related to current economic conditions including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related impact on demand for our services; and other risks and uncertainties disclosed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.
