Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to Textura's financial results as determined in accordance with GAAP are included at the end of this press release following the accompanying financial data. For a description of these non-GAAP financial measures, including the reasons management uses each measure, please see the section titled "Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Operating Expenses, Adjusted Gross Margin and Free Cash Flow Definitions."

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Operating Expenses, Adjusted Gross Margin and Free Cash Flow Definitions

Adjusted EBITDA represents loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, severance expense, and acquisition-related and other expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is not determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (''GAAP''), and is a performance measure used by management in conjunction with traditional GAAP operating performance measures as part of the overall assessment of our performance including:

• for planning purposes, including the preparation of the annual budget; and
• to evaluate the effectiveness of business strategies.

We believe the use of Adjusted EBITDA as an additional operating performance metric provides greater consistency for period-to-period comparisons of our operations. For our internal analysis, Adjusted EBITDA removes fluctuations caused by changes in our capital structure (interest expense), non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation, and infrequent charges.

These excluded amounts in any given period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of the business or may fluctuate significantly from period to period due to acquisitions, fully amortized tangible or intangible assets, or the timing and pricing of new share-based awards. We also believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and securities analysts in evaluating our operating performance as it provides them an additional tool to compare business performance across companies and periods.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement under GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net loss or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities. The Adjusted EBITDA measurement has limitations as an analytical tool and the method of calculation may vary from company to company.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. We believe the use of Adjusted EBITDA Margin as an additional operating performance metric provides greater consistency for period-to-period comparisons of our operations and greater comparability to our peer group.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is not a measurement under GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to operating margin. The Adjusted EBITDA Margin measurement has limitations as an analytical tool and the method of calculation may vary from company to company.

Adjusted EPS is calculated as Adjusted Net Loss divided by the number of weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Adjusted Net Loss is comprised of Textura's net loss adjusted for share-based compensation expense, amortization expense, severance expense, and acquisition-related and other expenses recognized during the period. We believe the use of Adjusted EPS as an additional operating performance metric provides greater consistency for period-to-period comparisons of our operations and greater comparability to our peer group.

Adjusted EPS is not a measurement under GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net loss per share.  The Adjusted EPS measurement has limitations as an analytical tool and the method of calculation may vary from company to company.

Adjusted Operating Expenses is calculated as total operating expenses, adjusted for share-based compensation expense, amortization expense, severance expense, and acquisition-related and other expenses recognized during the period. We believe the use of Adjusted Operating Expenses as an additional operating performance metric provides greater consistency for period-to-period comparisons of our operations and greater comparability to our peer group.

Adjusted Operating Expenses is not a measurement under GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to operating expenses. The Adjusted Operating Expenses measurement has limitations as an analytical tool and the method of calculation may vary from company to company.

Adjusted Gross Margin is calculated as gross margin, adjusted for share-based compensation expense recognized during the period. We believe the use of Adjusted Gross Margin as an additional operating performance metric provides greater consistency for period-to-period comparisons of our operations and greater comparability to our peer group.

Adjusted Gross Margin is not a measurement under GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to gross margin. The Adjusted Gross Margin measurement has limitations as an analytical tool and the method of calculation may vary from company to company.

Free Cash Flow is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities, less purchases of property and equipment, as reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow.  Free Cash Flow is not a measurement under GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to cash flow from operating activities. The Free Cash Flow measurement has limitations as an analytical tool and the method of calculation may vary from company to company.
