Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the financial information presented in this release in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), Tempus also presents adjusted non-GAAP financial measures.
Non-GAAP gross profit is defined as GAAP gross profit, excluding stock-based compensation expense and employer payroll tax related to stock-based compensation (collectively, the “stock-based compensation adjustments”). Non-GAAP gross margin is defined as gross profit, excluding the stock-based compensation adjustments, as a percentage of revenue. Non-GAAP operating expenses are calculated as the sum of technology research and development expense, research and development expense, and selling, general and administrative expense, excluding the stock-based compensation adjustments, acquisition-related expenses, and amortization of intangibles due to acquisition. Non-GAAP loss from operations is defined as loss from operations, adjusted to exclude (i) stock-based compensation expense, (ii) employer payroll tax related to stock-based compensation expense, (iii) acquisition-related expenses, and (iv) amortization of intangibles due to acquisition. Non-GAAP net loss is defined as net loss, adjusted to exclude (i) changes in fair value of our warrant liability, warrant asset, marketable equity securities, contingent consideration liabilities and indemnity-related holdback liabilities, (ii) stock-based compensation expense, (iii) employer payroll tax related to stock-based compensation expense, (iv) acquisition-related expenses, (v) amortization of intangibles due to acquisition, (vi) losses on equity method investments, (vii) (benefit from) provision for income taxes, and (viii) amortization of deferred other income from our IP License Agreement with SB Tempus. Non-GAAP net loss per share is defined as non-GAAP net loss divided by weighted average common shares outstanding, basic and diluted.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss, adjusted to exclude (i) interest income, (ii) interest expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) (benefit from) provision for income taxes, (v) losses on equity method investments, (vi) changes in fair value of our warrant liability, warrant asset, marketable equity securities, contingent consideration liabilities and indemnity-related holdback liabilities, (vii) stock-based compensation expense, (viii) employer payroll tax related to stock-based compensation expense, (ix) acquisition related expenses, and (x) amortization of deferred other income from our IP License Agreement with SB Tempus.
Tempus believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and others because they allow for additional information with respect to financial measures used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and they may be used by institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the health of Tempus’ business. In particular, Adjusted EBITDA is a key measurement used by Tempus management to make operating decisions, including those related to analyzing operating expenses, evaluating performance, and performing strategic planning and annual budgeting. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures, and these non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or in isolation from, our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently or not at all, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.
Tempus does not provide guidance for net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, and similarly cannot provide a reconciliation between Tempus’ forecasted Adjusted EBITDA and net loss without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of reliable estimates for certain components of net income (loss) and the respective reconciliations. These forecasted items are not within Tempus’ control, may vary greatly between periods, and could significantly impact future financial results.
Other Key Metrics
Total Remaining Contract Value (TCV) is equal to the total potential value of signed contracts and assumes the exercise of all contract options, all discretionary opt-ins, and no early termination. Remaining TCV excludes any revenue recognized to date on these contracts or any future adjustments made to the contractual value as a result of amendments or terminations.
Net Revenue Retention compares the annual Insights product revenue generated from all customers that made an Insights purchase in one year to the annual Insights product revenue generated from the same cohort of customers in the subsequent year.
