Q3 2022 Shareholder Letter
Q3 was our biggest and most profitable quarter ever despite geopolitical and macroeconomic headwinds.

In Q3 2022, we had nearly 100 million Nights and Experiences Booked, up 25% year-over-year, and $15.6
billion in Gross Booking Value, up 31% year-over-year (or 40% ex-FX). Revenue grew 29% year-over-year
(or 36% ex-FX) to $2.9 billion—our highest quarter ever.

We also had our most profitable quarter with net income of $1.2 billion, up 46% year-over-year,
representing a 42% net income margin. Free cash flow of $960 million increased more than 80% from
a year ago. And, over the last twelve months, we generated $3.3 billion in FCF, representing a FCF
margin of more than 40%.

Our Q3 results demonstrate that Airbnb continues to drive growth and profitability at scale. And
regardless of continued macro uncertainties, we believe we’re well positioned for the road ahead.
There are a couple of reasons for this.

First, guest demand remains strong. We believe new use cases, including long-term stays and non-urban
travel, are here to stay as millions of people have newfound flexibility in where they live and work. At the
same time, we’ve also seen recovery of urban and cross-border travel, which comprised the vast majority
of our business before the pandemic.

Second, we’re seeing strong growth in the number of new Hosts on Airbnb. Just like during the Great
Recession in 2008 when Airbnb started, people are especially interested in earning extra income through
hosting. That’s why on November 16, we’re introducing an all-new, super easy way for millions of people
to Airbnb their homes as part of our 2022 Winter Release.

Q3 2022 Financial Results


Here is a snapshot of our Q3 2022 results:

• Q3 revenue of $2.9 billion was our highest quarter ever. Revenue grew 29% year-over-year (or
36% ex-FX) driven by the combination of growth in Nights and Experiences Booked and continued
strength in ADR.

• Q3 net income of $1.2 billion was our most profitable quarter ever. Net income improved by
$380 million compared to Q3 2021 primarily due to our revenue growth and expense discipline.
In Q3 2022, we delivered a net income margin of 42%, up from 37% in Q3 2021, and $1.6 billion
of net income in the last twelve months.

• Q3 Adjusted EBITDA of $1.5 billion was a record best. Adjusted EBITDA in Q3 2022 increased 32%
compared to $1.1 billion in Q3 2021. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 51% for Q3 2022, up from 49%
in Q3 2021. This further improvement in Adjusted EBITDA demonstrates the continued strength
of our business and discipline in managing our cost structure.1

• Q3 Free Cash Flow of $960 million was our highest Q3 ever. Q3 2022 net cash provided by operating
activities was $966 million, up from $535 million in Q3 2021. The increase in cash flow was driven
by revenue growth and net margin expansion. Our TTM FCF was $3.3 billion, representing a TTM FCF
margin of 41%.2

Business Highlights
Our strong quarter was driven by a number of positive business trends:

• Guest demand on Airbnb remains strong. Even with macroeconomic uncertainties, Nights and
Experiences Booked increased 25% in Q3 2022 compared to a year ago. We continued to see
longer lead times for bookings in Q3 2022, supporting a strong backlog for Q4. Globally, guest
arrivals during the quarter exceeded 90 million—another record.

• Guests are increasingly returning to cities and crossing borders. Even with foreign currency
fluctuations, we saw cross-border travel to all regions increase in Q3 2022 from last year.
Cross border gross nights booked increased 58%, while high-density urban nights booked grew
27% compared to Q3 2021. While the business mix remains very different from pre-pandemic
levels, we’ve seen consistent acceleration in both areas. In Q3 2022, high-density urban nights
booked was 48% of total gross nights booked (versus 58% in Q3 2019) and cross-border was
43% (versus 48% in Q3 2019).

• Guests continue to stay longer on Airbnb. Even with more companies requiring employees
to return to the office, nights booked from long-term stays remained stable from a year ago at
20% of total gross nights booked. While the majority of long-term stays occurred in EMEA
and North America, we also saw long-term stays become substantially more popular in Asia
Pacific compared to a year ago.

• Our Host community continues to grow. Our strong supply growth during the quarter was driven
by several factors. First, demand drives supply. In Q3 2022, we saw total urban supply accelerate
from a year ago as guests return to cities. Second, since our founding in 2008, Hosts have turned
to Airbnb as a form of supplemental income, and to date, have earned more than $180 billion.
Third, we believe our product improvements—including the new Host onboarding flow, AirCover
for Hosts, and Ask a Superhost—are working. But we’ve just scratched the surface in growing
our Host community. We’re focused on addressing the obstacles there are to becoming a Host
and on November 16, we’re excited to introduce an easier way to host on Airbnb.

Results from our 2022 Summer Release


At Airbnb, we have a culture of relentless innovation. Twice a year, we market our innovations through our
Summer and Winter Releases. To measure the success of our releases, we monitor changes in both guest
and Host perception, as well as their behavior. We believe driving positive changes in perception and
behavior are critical inputs to delivering strong business outcomes.

Airbnb Categories
On May 11, we introduced a new way to search designed around Airbnb Categories. We created this
product because it allows us to highlight our unique inventory and point demand to where we
have supply. Ultimately, Airbnb Categories will enable us to be in the inspiration business, making
Airbnb the first place guests go when they want to plan a trip.

Since launch, we’ve seen strong engagement with Categories. In fact, since its introduction, listings in
Airbnb Categories have been viewed over 300 million times. We have continued to iterate on Categories
and we’ve seen a positive lift in engagement through more personalization. In addition, our research
shows that people who are aware of Categories perceive Airbnb to be more inspirational. While it’s still
early, we’re encouraged by what we’ve seen so far.

AirCover
Last year, we introduced AirCover for Hosts. Based on the overwhelmingly positive reception, in May,
we introduced AirCover for guests. We created AirCover to improve Airbnb service levels and to increase
guest booking confidence on Airbnb over the long-term. Since launch, for guests that needed to
be rebooked, the net promoter score for AirCover issues has already improved and in the rare instance
where a Host cancels, guests are rebooking more than before.

November 16: Airbnb 2022 Winter Release


On November 16, we’re introducing an all-new, super easy way for millions of people to Airbnb their homes.
We’re also delivering a major upgrade to AirCover that provides even more top-to-bottom protection
for every Host on Airbnb. With these upgrades and more, we aim to unlock the next generation of Hosts
and improve the experience for the more than 4 million people already hosting around the world.

Meet Melissa.

Hosting since 2017

Melissa transformed a passion project—a hand-built cabin nestled on her flower


farm—into a listing, Tanglebloom Tiny Cabin, on Airbnb.

6
Nearly 10 years ago, Melissa and her husband crafted an open-air cabin using a
blueprint from a local architect and their own might. They intended to use the space
to relax, but over the years had less time to spend there—especially after they
became new parents.

Melissa wanted more time to be with her new baby, but her wedding flower business
required long work weeks with stressful deadlines.

“I wanted to be present and home more,” she said. “That was the thing that pushed us
to try hosting because we were like, this could help us make up that income, so I could
be around more.”

In 2017, they started hosting Tanglebloom Tiny Cabin, which gradually gained a
following. It landed on wishlists and attracted visitors from East Coast cities, who
sought a rustic getaway where guests could stop to smell the roses.

“I saw how much people were craving this connection to nature, to getting out of the
city,” Melissa said.

Melissa kept iterating on the cabin, adding more amenities including most recently
an outdoor hot tub. She also found creative uses of her flower farm by hosting
Experiences where guests could pick peonies and design their own flower bouquet.

Hosting brings in more income than the farm, which gives Melissa the flexibility
to plan the next phase of the flower business beyond growing and selling flowers.
“It was a real blessing,” she said.

Q3 2022 Business and Financial Performance

Q3 2022

99.7M $15.6B
Nights & Experiences Booked Gross Booking Value
25% Y/Y 31% Y/Y
40% Y/Y (ex-FX)

During Q3 2022, we had our highest ever third quarter of Nights and Experiences Booked of 99.7
million, representing a significant increase from a year ago (25% Y/Y). While we saw strong growth
across all regions compared to Q3 2021, APAC increased the most with 65% more Nights and
Experiences Booked.

The combination of the increase in Nights and Experiences Booked, combined with continued elevated
ADR, drove another quarter of strong GBV growth. In Q3 2022, GBV was $15.6 billion, representing
a year-over-year increase of 31% (40% ex-FX).

As a result of the strengthening U.S. dollar in Q3 2022, especially in comparison to the Euro and the British
Pound, metrics such as revenue, GBV and ADR, excluding the effects of foreign currency fluctuations,
are significantly higher than amounts reported in our financial statements.

Geographic mix
The trends in our recovery continue to vary by region due to a variety of factors. In Q3 2022, we
saw strength in all regions relative to the same period in 2021. Meanwhile, global cancellation rates
in Q3 2022 remained higher than 2019 levels, but below 2021 and 2020 levels. Q3 2022 regional
highlights include:

• North America remained strong with Nights and Experiences Booked in Q3 increasing 20% above
the level achieved in the same quarter of 2021, primarily driven by the U.S. During Q3 2022, revenue
earned in the U.S. increased 24% from Q3 2021 and represented approximately 40% of total global
revenue. The majority of travel in North America, both pre-pandemic and now, is domestic.

• In EMEA, Nights and Experiences Booked grew 20% compared to Q3 2021. The vast majority
of European travelers travel within Europe on Airbnb, and therefore are not impacted by the
strengthening U.S. dollar.

• In Latin America, Nights and Experiences Booked were 33% higher than Q3 2021, with
continued resilience in certain countries, such as Mexico and Brazil, where both domestic
and inbound cross-border travel remain strong.

• In Asia Pacific, Nights and Experiences Booked saw the most significant year-over-year growth,
primarily due to the easing of COVID-19 restrictions that were in place in 2021. This region

8
has historically been reliant on cross-border travel. While still significantly down compared
to pre-pandemic periods, we have seen continued sequential recovery in the region, with 65%
growth in Q3 2022 compared to a year ago.

• As shared in our letter last quarter, all mainland Chinese listings were taken down in July as part
of our decision to close the domestic business in China and instead focus on the outbound
China business.

Travel corridors and distance


While domestic and short-distance travel continued to be strong, we saw even further improvement
in both longer-distance and cross-border travel during Q3 2022 compared to the prior year. In Q3
2022, cross-border was 43% of total gross nights booked, up from 33% in Q3 2021. As the impact of the
pandemic recedes but macro conditions persist, we expect a continued, albeit choppy, recovery of
cross-border travel to be a further tailwind to future results.

Urban vs. non-urban


Consistent with recent quarters, we continue to see signs of travelers returning to cities (historically
one of the strongest areas of our business). Gross nights booked in high-density urban areas represented
48% of our gross nights booked in Q3 2022.

Trip length
In Q3 2022, long-term stays of 28 days or more accounted for 20% of gross nights booked in Q3 2022,
stable with Q3 2021. Overall, approximately 45% of gross nights booked were from stays of at least seven
nights in Q3 2022.

Average daily rates


ADR was $156 in Q3 2022, representing a 5% increase from Q3 2021 (or 12% ex-FX). The year-over-year
increase from Q3 2021 was entirely driven by price appreciation, which more than offset some negative
impact from mix as urban destinations and other bookings that tend to have lower ADR rebounded,
as well as the impact of foreign exchange. On an FX-neutral basis, Q3 2022 ADR was up across all major
regions year-over-year.

Supply
In July, all mainland China listings were taken down. As such, for comparative purposes, references to
supply and supply growth exclude listings in China from prior periods. Active listings grew approximately
15% in Q3 2022 compared to a year ago, representing sequential acceleration relative to Q2 2022. We
saw growth in supply across all market types, including both non-urban and urban. Growth in our supply
compared to pre-pandemic periods was strongest in non-urban areas, where guest demand was highest.
And as demand returns to cities, we also saw a return to growth in total urban supply.

Net Cash Provided by Free Cash Flow
Operating Activities

In Q3 2022, revenue was $2.9 billion, our strongest quarter ever, representing a year-over-year increase
of 29% (or 36% ex-FX). The increase in revenue was driven by the stable growth in Nights and Experiences
Booked, combined with a higher ADR. As a result of the strengthening U.S. dollar in Q3 2022, especially
in comparison to the Euro and British Pound, metrics such as revenue, GBV and net income, excluding the
effects of foreign currency fluctuations, are significantly higher than amounts reported in our financial
statements. In Q3 2022, approximately 55% of our GAAP revenue was denominated in non-USD currencies,
while a minority of our total costs and expenses were denominated in non-USD currencies.

During Q3 2022, the implied take rate (defined as revenue divided by GBV) was 18.5%, which was consistent
with Q3 2021. Seasonal trends in our GBV and revenue impact the implied take rate. We historically
achieve our highest GBV in the first and second quarters of the year with comparatively lower check-ins.
In contrast, we historically have the highest revenue in the third quarter, our strongest seasonal quarter
for check-ins. While we have seen the pandemic distort the historical patterns of seasonality in 2020 and
to a lesser extent, the first half of 2021 as a result of travel restrictions and changing travel preferences
relating to the pandemic, we are seeing pre-pandemic patterns of seasonality return in 2022.

Operating expenses in Q3 2022 included the impact of $234 million of stock-based compensation
expense, which is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. All recurring operating expense line-items (excluding
the impact of stock-based compensation expense) except for sales and marketing, increased more slowly
year-over-year than revenue, allowing for considerable margin expansion.3 Our hiring plan to modestly
increase headcount this year is unchanged from the beginning of the year. We believe our Live and Work
Anywhere policy is enabling us to recruit and retain the best people from around the world and further
support our diversity and inclusion goals.

Net income in Q3 2022 was $1.2 billion compared with net income of $834 million in Q3 2021 primarily
driven by substantially higher revenue. Relative to Q3 2021, net profit margin increased 5 percentage
points (from 37% in Q3 2021 to 42% in Q3 2022).

Adjusted EBITDA for Q3 2022 was $1.5 billion, a significant improvement compared to Adjusted EBITDA
in Q3 2021 of $1.1 billion.4 Our Q3 2022 Adjusted EBITDA demonstrated the continued strength of our
revenue recovery and the benefit of strong ADRs, coupled with our disciplined spending. Relative to Q3
2021, Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 2 percentage points (from 49% in Q3 2021 to 51% in Q3 2022).

Balance Sheet and Cash Flows
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we reported $966 million of net cash provided by
operating activities and $960 million of FCF, compared to $535 million and $529 million, respectively, for
the three months ended September 31, 2021.5 The year-over-year increase in FCF was driven by revenue
growth and margin expansion.

During the third quarter, we typically see a slight decline in GBV and a peak in check-ins, which results
in a decrease in unearned fees. Unearned fees totaled $1.2 billion at the end of Q3 2022, compared to
$2.0 billion at the end of Q2 2022 and $892 million at the end of Q3 2021.

As of September 30, 2022, we had $9.6 billion of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, and
restricted cash. We also had $4.8 billion of funds held on behalf of guests as of September 30, 2022.

In August, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program with
authorization to purchase up to $2 billion of our Class A common stock at management’s discretion.
As of September 30, 2022, we repurchased $1 billion of our Class A common stock. The share
repurchase program will enable us to offset dilution from our employee stock programs.

Outlook
We expect another strong quarter of revenue growth, delivering between $1.80 billion and $1.88 billion
in Q4 2022. This represents year-over-year growth of between 17% and 23%, and a 62% to 70% increase
relative to Q4 2019. On an FX-neutral basis, we anticipate year-over-year revenue growth between 23% and
29%. We expect our revenue as a share of GBV to decrease in Q4 2022 relative to Q3 2022, consistent
with historical seasonality.

Four weeks into the quarter, we are seeing promising trends in cross-border travel, renewed interest in
urban stays, stabilizing cancellations, as well as a strong backlog of future bookings. On a year-over-year
basis, we expect Nights and Experiences Booked growth will moderate slightly relative to Q3 2022,
while ADR will face some pressure from FX headwinds and business mix.

We expect Q4 2022 Adjusted EBITDA to be up meaningfully on a nominal basis from Q4 2021 and expect
quarterly Adjusted EBITDA margin to be in-line to modestly higher than last year’s margin of 22%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures


In addition to our results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States (“GAAP”), we review financial measures that are not calculated and presented in accordance
with GAAP (“non-GAAP financial measures”). We believe our non-GAAP financial measures are useful in
evaluating our operating performance. We use the following non-GAAP financial information, collectively,
to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that
non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides
consistency and comparability with past financial performance, and assists in comparisons with other
companies, some of which use similar non-GAAP financial information to supplement their GAAP results.
The non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should
not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may
be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of each
non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance
with GAAP is provided below. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures
and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP
financial measures.

Our non-GAAP financial measures include Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow,
Free Cash Flow Margin, trailing twelve months (“TTM”) Free Cash Flow, TTM Free Cash Flow Margin,
revenue change excluding the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates (“ex-FX”), GBV change ex-FX,
net income (loss) change ex-FX, Adjusted EBITDA change ex-FX, and ADR change ex-FX.

16
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or loss adjusted for (i) provision for (benefit from) income
taxes; (ii) interest income, interest expense, and other income (expense), net; (iii) depreciation and
amortization; (iv) stock-based compensation expense and stock-settlement obligations related to the
IPO; (v) acquisition-related impacts consisting of gains (losses) recognized on changes in the fair value
of contingent consideration arrangements; (vi) net changes to the reserves for lodging taxes for which
management believes it is probable that we may be held jointly liable with Hosts for collecting and
remitting such taxes; and (vii) restructuring charges.

The above items are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are non-cash
in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items is unpredictable, not driven by core
results of operations and renders comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful.
Reconciliations of expected Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margins to corresponding net
income (loss) and net income (loss) margins have not been provided because of the unpredictability of
certain of the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and because we cannot determine their probable
significance. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in
understanding and evaluating our results of operations, as well as provides a useful measure for period-
to-period comparisons of our business performance. Moreover, we have included Adjusted EBITDA
in this letter because it is a key measurement used by our management internally to make operating
decisions, including those related to operating expenses, evaluating performance, and performing
strategic planning and annual budgeting. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes certain items related to
transactional tax matters, for which management believes it is probable that we may be held jointly
liable with Hosts in certain jurisdictions.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as a financial measure, should be considered as supplemental in nature,
and is not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
These limitations include the following:

• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest income (expense) and other income (expense), net,
which include loss on extinguishment of debt and unrealized and realized gains and losses
on foreign currency exchange, investments, and financial instruments, including the warrants
issued in connection with a term loan agreement entered into in April 2020. We amended
the anti-dilution feature in the warrant agreements in March 2021. The balance of the warrants
of $1.3 billion was reclassified from liability to equity as the amended warrants met the
requirements for equity classification and are no longer remeasured at each reporting period;

• Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain recurring, non-cash charges, such as depreciation of property
and equipment and amortization of intangible assets, and although these are non-cash
charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future,
and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect all cash requirements for such replacements or for
new capital expenditure requirements;

• Adjusted EBITDA excludes stock-based compensation expense, which has been, and will
continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in our business and
an important part of our compensation strategy as well as stock-settlement obligations,
which represent employer and related taxes related to the IPO;

17
• Adjusted EBITDA excludes acquisition-related impacts consisting of gains (losses) recognized
on changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements. The contingent
consideration, which was in the form of equity, was valued as of the acquisition date and is
marked-to-market at each reporting period based on factors including our stock price;

• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect net changes to reserves for lodging taxes for which
management believes it is probable that we may be held jointly liable with Hosts for collecting
and remitting such taxes; and

• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect restructuring charges, which include severance and other
employee costs, lease impairments, and contract amendments and terminations.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Because of these limitations,
you should consider Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin alongside other financial performance
measures, including net income (loss) and our other GAAP results.

Free Cash Flow represents net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of property
and equipment. We believe that Free Cash Flow is a meaningful indicator of liquidity that provides
information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated from operations that,
after purchases of property and equipment, can be used for strategic initiatives, including continuous
investment in our business, growth through acquisitions, and strengthening our balance sheet. Our Free
Cash Flow is impacted by the timing of GBV because we collect our service fees at the time of booking,
which is generally before a stay or experience occurs. Funds held on behalf of our Hosts and guests
and amounts payable to our Hosts and guests do not impact Free Cash Flow, except interest earned
on these funds. Free Cash Flow Margin is defined as Free Cash Flow divided by revenue. We track our
TTM Free Cash Flow to account for the timing difference in when we receive cash from service fees,
which is at the time of booking. Free Cash Flow has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of other GAAP financial measures, such as net cash
provided by (used in) operating activities. Free Cash Flow does not reflect our ability to meet future
contractual commitments and may be calculated differently by other companies in our industry, limiting
its usefulness as a comparative measure. TTM Free Cash Flow Margin is defined as TTM Free Cash Flow
divided by TTM revenue.

In addition to the actual percentage change, we disclose the percentage change in our current period
results for revenue, GBV, net income (loss), Adjusted EBITDA, and ADR from the corresponding prior
period results by comparing results using constant currencies. We present constant currency change
rate information to provide a framework for assessing how our revenue, GBV, net income (loss), Adjusted
EBITDA, and ADR performed excluding the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates. We use the
percentage change in constant currency revenues, GBV, net income (loss), Adjusted EBITDA, and ADR
for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons.
We believe the presentation of results on a constant currency basis in addition to the U.S. GAAP
presentation helps improve the ability to understand our performance because it excludes the effects
of foreign currency volatility that are not indicative of our core operating results. We calculate the
percentage change in constant currency by determining the change in the current period over the prior
comparable period where current period foreign currency amounts are translated using the exchange
rates of the comparative period.

The condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 has been revised to correct for
errors identified by management during the preparation of the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The errors
understated cash flows from operating activities by $122 million and overstated the cash flows from financing activities by $122 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Management has determined that these errors did not result in the previously issued financial
statements being materially misstated. These errors primarily related to the timing of tax payments from the net settlement of equity
awards at the initial public offering in December 2020. In particular, in 2020, the Company reported $1.7 billion of cash used in financing
activities to cover taxes paid related to the net share settlement of its equity awards that vested upon the initial public offering. However,
approximately $123 million of this amount was actually remitted to taxing authorities in foreign jurisdictions during the nine months ended
September 30, 2021. This had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements outside of the presentation in the
condensed consolidated statements of cash flow and did not affect the condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated
statements of operations or condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.

We track certain key business metrics to measure our performance, identify trends, formulate
financial projections, and make strategic decisions. Our key business metrics include GBV and Nights
and Experiences Booked. GBV represents the dollar value of bookings on our platform in a period and
is inclusive of Host earnings, service fees, cleaning fees, and taxes, net of cancellations and alterations
that occurred during that period. Nights and Experiences Booked on our platform in a period represents
the sum of the total number of nights booked for stays and the total number of seats booked for
experiences, net of cancellations and alterations that occurred in that period. We are not aware of
any uniform standards for calculating these key metrics, which may hinder comparability with other
companies that may calculate similarly titled metrics in a different way.
