(b) Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under
the SEC’s rules. Management believes that EBITDA is an important financial measure for use in evaluating the performance
of the company’s Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) business, as it excludes charges for depreciation and amortization which relate
primarily to business acquisitions and do not reflect the cash costs associated with operating the business. EBITDA should
be considered in addition to, rather than a substitute for, operating (losses) earnings as a measure of financial
performance.
