In particular, the following factors, among others, could cause results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements: the evolving nature of the industry in which Xoom operates; its failure to attract new customers or retain existing customers; economic, political or regulatory factors beyond its control, in the United States or in countries to which its customers transfer money or pay bills; fluctuations in foreign exchange rates; competitive pricing and marketing strategies by competitors; the adoption of competing technologies that supplant its services; the use of its services for illegal or improper purposes; the failure of partners to disburse funds according to Xoom’s instructions; its ability to contract for third-party services on commercially reasonable terms; the maintenance of its payment network on terms consistent with those currently in place or with newly adopted regulations in the United States or in countries to which its customers transfer money or pay bills; increases in transaction processing fees; declines in customer confidence in its business or in money transfer providers generally; its ability to protect its intellectual property; the adoption of mobile phones and devices to access information on the Internet and use of its services; potential breaches of its security systems; and other risks and uncertainties.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Xoom’s stated results include certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA excludes (benefit) provision for income taxes, interest expense, interest income, amortization of acquired intangible asset, depreciation and other amortization expense, and expenses related to stock-based compensation. Depreciation and other amortization expense includes impairment related to long-lived assets. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share exclude expenses related to stock-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangible asset. Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share exclude these expenses as they are often excluded by other companies to help investors understand the operational performance of their business, and in the case of stock-based compensation, can be difficult to predict. Xoom believes these adjustments provide useful comparative information to investors.

Xoom considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be important because they provide useful measures of its operating performance and are used by its management for that purpose. In addition, investors often use measures such as these to evaluate the operating performance of a company. Non-GAAP results are presented for supplemental informational purposes only for understanding Xoom’s operating results. The non-GAAP results should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
