Shannon Zimmerman, CEO of Sajan, commented on the Company’s 3rd quarter results: “We are excited to hit our goals of improved revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA during the quarter. Our largest clients led the way as we saw aggregate revenue growth of 15% in this quarter’s top 10 accounts. Further, we continue to expand our reach and customer base as we experienced healthy new client additions during the quarter. Technology improvements and good supply chain management resulted in lower translator costs during the quarter and are the main reasons for our improved earnings. We expect these trends to continue in the future as we focus on driving higher profitability.”
Non-GAAP Financial Measures – Adjusted EBITDA
| EBITDA | 2016 | 2015 | 2016 | 2015 | ||||||||||||
| Net income (loss) | $ | 108 | $ | (127 | ) | $ | (388 | ) | $ | (121 | ) | |||||

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA by taking net income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP, and adding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation. We believe that this non-GAAP measure of financial results provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Our management uses this non-GAAP measure to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses and for budgeting and planning purposes. This measure is also used in financial reports prepared for management and our board of directors. We believe that the use of this non-GAAP financial measure provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial measures with other companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.
Our management does not consider this non-GAAP measure in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of this non-GAAP financial measure is that it excludes significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our consolidated financial statements. In addition, it is subject to inherent limitations as it reflects the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining this non-GAAP financial measure. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents this non-GAAP financial measure in connection with GAAP results. We urge investors to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
