Financial Outlook
Based on information available as of February 22, 2016, we are providing our outlook for full year 2016 as indicated below.

- Weighted average common shares outstanding are expected to be approximately 33.7 million for the full year.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP, we provide investors with certain Non-GAAP financial measures, including Non-GAAP net loss and Non-GAAP net loss per share, which are financial measures that have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share are defined as net loss and net loss per share, respectively, attributable to common stockholders before stock-based compensation expense.
We use these Non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results and believe they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance. The principal limitation of these Non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our financial statements. These financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these financial measures may be different from Non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. A reconciliation of the Non-GAAP financial measures to the most direct comparable GAAP measure has been provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release.
We urge investors to review these reconciliations and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
