             (2)    Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are
                     non-GAAP financial measures. Please
                     see discussion below under the
                     heading "Non-GAAP Measures" and the
                     reconciliations at the end of this
                     release.

             (3)    Forecasted GAAP Consolidated Net Loss
                     excludes expenses associated with
                     outstanding legacy issues, as those
                     expenses are neither probable nor
                     estimable as of the time of this

                     and Adjusted EPS will also exclude

                     described in the discussion below
                     under "Non-GAAP Measures." We will
                     update forecasted GAAP Consolidated
                     Net Loss as expenses associated with
                     outstanding legacy issues become
                     available for the remainder of the
                     year. For the first half of 2018, we
                     recognized $35.5 million of expenses
                     related to outstanding legacy issues
                     and $35.6 million of goodwill
                     impairment related to the Company's
                     patient and education finance unit,
                     which are now reflected in our full
                     year 2018 GAAP Consolidated Net
                     Loss.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: contribution, contribution margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, and adjusted EPS. Our non-GAAP measures do have limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results under GAAP.

We believe these non-GAAP measures provide management and investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and enable comparison of our financial results with other public companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures.

In particular, we believe contribution and contribution margin are useful measures of direct product profitability because the measures illustrate the relationship between the costs most directly associated with revenue generating activities and the related revenue, and the effectiveness of the direct costs in obtaining revenue. Contribution is calculated as net revenue less "sales and marketing" and "origination and servicing" expenses on the Company's Statements of Operations, adjusted to exclude non-cash stock-based compensation expense within these captions and (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. Contribution margin is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by dividing contribution by total net revenue. We believe that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are important measures of operating performance because it allows for the comparison of our core operating results, including our return on capital and operating efficiencies, from period to period by removing outstanding legacy issues that will result in elevated legal costs (including ongoing regulatory and government investigations, indemnification obligations and litigation), the impact of depreciation, impairment and amortization in our asset base, share-based compensation, income tax effects, and other non-operating expenses. We believe adjusted EPS is a useful measure used by investors and analysts in our sector because non-cash items like stock-based compensation and amortization of intangibles can vary significantly due to many factors unrelated to the business, as well as certain other expenses that are unrelated to business performance, such as outstanding legacy issues discussed below.

In the fourth quarter of 2017, the company included a new adjustment for outstanding legacy issues that result in elevated legal costs (including ongoing regulatory and government investigations, indemnification obligations and litigation), to calculate adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS. We expect expenses in the future to include resolution of additional matters that arose from legacy management, including indemnification legal expenses paid by the Company for former employees, and settlements of regulatory investigations and examinations. Legacy legal expenses incurred in 2017 and prior were generally offset by insurance proceeds, resulting in no net material cumulative impact to earnings. As such, prior period amounts were not reclassified for the change in how we calculate adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS.

There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures versus their most comparable GAAP measure. In particular, many of the adjustments to derive the non-GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of items, specifically stock-based compensation expense, depreciation, impairment and amortization in our asset base, outstanding legacy issues that will result in elevated legal costs (including ongoing regulatory and government investigations, indemnification obligations and litigation) and the related income tax effects of the aforementioned exclusions that are recurring and will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these measures differently, which may reduce their usefulness as a comparative measure.

            (1)    Beginning in the third quarter of
                    2017, contribution and adjusted
                    EBITDA exclude (income) loss
                    attributable to noncontrolling
                    interests. Prior period amounts
                    have been reclassified to conform
                    to the current period
                    presentation.

            (2)    Represents amounts related to costs
                    for due diligence related to past
                    business acquisitions, including
                    those the Company reviewed and
                    determined not to pursue a
                    transaction, as well as
                    incremental compensation expense
                    required to be paid under the
                    purchase agreement to retain key
                    former shareholder employees of an
                    acquired business.

            (3)    Includes expense related to
                    outstanding legacy issues. The
                    second quarter of 2018 and the
                    fourth quarter of 2017 also
                    include class action settlement
                    expense. Amounts prior to the
                    fourth quarter of 2017 have not
                    been reclassified because legacy
                    legal expenses incurred in 2017
                    and prior were generally offset by
                    insurance proceeds, resulting in
                    no net material cumulative impact
                    to earnings.

                    been reclassified because legacy
                    legal expenses incurred in 2017
                    and prior were generally offset by

            (4)    Other dilutive equity awards
                    include assumed exercises of

                    assumed repurchases computed under
                    the treasury method, which were
                    excluded from GAAP net loss per
                    share as their impact would have
                    been anti-dilutive.
