Reconciliation of Non - GAAP Results In addition to figures prepared in accordance with GAAP, Capstone from time to time presents alternative non - GAAP performance measures, e . g . , EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net profit/loss, adjusted earnings per share, free cash flow . These measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with GAAP . Alternative performance measures are not subject to GAAP or any other generally accepted accounting principle . Other companies may define these terms in different ways .

Financial Measures - Non - GAAP Capstone uses non - GAAP Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). A non - GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of operations, balance sheet or statement of cash flows of a company. Adjusted Instone EBITDA and Adjusted Instone EBITDA @ 23.5% Gross Profit (Loss) are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss), or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or a measure of our liquidity. Capstone urges investors to review the reconciliation of non - GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to the comparable GAAP Net Income (Loss), which is included in this presentation, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Capstone’s financial performance. We believe that Adjusted Instone EBITDA is a useful performance measure and is used by us to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period - to - period and to provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than measures under GAAP can provide alone. We define “ Adjusted Instone EBITDA ” as earnings (loss) before interest expense, any income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, management fees incurred by Instone payable to Capstone and Brookstone, Instone board fees, share - based compensation, change in fair value of contingent consideration, and transaction costs. We believe that Adjusted Instone EBITDA @ 23.5% Gross Profit (Loss) is a useful performance measure and is used by us to measure Instone’s adjusted EBITDA on a current run rate basis. We define “Adjusted EBITDA @ 23.5% Gross Profit (Loss)” as Adjusted EBITDA plus adjustments to derive gross profit at our estimated next twelve month gross profit percentage and reflect SGA expenses based on our SGA costs incurred in our last historical quarter.
