Non-GAAP Revenue
In addition to revenue prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company uses non-GAAP revenue in this press release.  The Company defines non-GAAP revenue as revenue excluding the impact of the December 15, 2020 voluntary recall of the Jet 7 Xtra Flex.

Full reconciliation of non-GAAP revenue to GAAP revenue is set forth in the tables below.

Our management believes non-GAAP revenue provides useful information to investors in assessing the performance of our business and provides meaningful comparisons to prior periods and thus a more complete understanding of our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure.  In addition, non-GAAP revenue enables comparison of the Company’s revenue results with other public companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP revenue measures.

The non-GAAP revenue measure included in this press release may be different from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP revenue measure should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to GAAP revenue. The Company urges investors to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP revenue to GAAP revenue included in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business.
