Management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, most specifically adjusted EBITDA, as a supplement to GAAP financial measures to further evaluate the Company's operating performance period over period, analyze the underlying business trends, assess performance relative to competitors and establish operational objectives.

Management believes it is important to provide investors with the same non-GAAP metrics it uses to evaluate the performance and underlying trends of the Company's business operations to facilitate comparisons to its historical operating results and evaluate the effectiveness of its operating strategies. Disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures also facilitates comparisons of the Company's underlying operating performance with other companies in the industry that also supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is calculated by adding interest income and expense, net; provision for income taxes; and depreciation and amortization to net loss. In calculating non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, the Company further adjusts for the following items:

    --  Stock-based compensation expense and other equity-related charges -
        Nevro excludes non-cash costs related to the company's stock-based
        plans, which include stock options, restricted stock units and
        performance-based restricted stock units as these expenses do not
        require cash settlement from the company. In the period ended December
        31, 2023, Nevro also excluded one-time equity-related charges of $1.9
        million associated with the company's acquisition of Vyrsa Technologies.
    --  Amortization of intangibles - The company excludes amortization of
        intangibles from the acquisition of businesses.
    --  Change in fair value of contingent consideration - The company excludes
        the changes in the fair value of its contingent consideration liability.
    --  Goodwill impairment - The company excludes any goodwill impairment.
    --  Change in fair market value of warrants - The company excludes the
        changes in the fair value of its warrant liability.
    --  Gain on extinguishment of debt - The company excludes gains and losses
        from extinguishment of early debt repayment.
    --  Litigation-related expenses - The company excludes legal and
        professional fees as well as charges and credits associated with certain
        legal matters, which management considers not related to the underlying
        operating performance of the business.
    --  Restructuring charges - The company excludes charges incurred as a
        direct result of restructuring programs, such as salaries and other
        compensation-related expenses.
    --  Supplier contract renegotiation charge - Nevro excludes one-time costs
        associated with the renegotiation of a supplier contract in 2024.

The non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation from, or as a replacement for, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, as it is not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Amounts may not add due to rounding.
