Chris Klimmer, Senior Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer at SeaChange, commented: “SeaChange operates in massive markets with large and growing total addressable markets (TAMs) where we are leveraging our deep expertise, strong relationships and long operating history to capitalize on these opportunities. Our pipeline is growing, and we are encouraged by the progress we are making in each of our core operating markets. We are effectively monetizing longstanding Tier 1 relationships in cable, transitioning companies to high-upside revenue sharing models in advertising, creating new offerings through our streaming platform StreamVid, as well as introducing new innovations to support content monetization on Connected TV platforms through FAST channels, a product initiative that we branded Xstream.”

Aquino added: “SeaChange is in an increasingly strong operating position with $17.6 million in cash and no debt, a lean cost structure and growing revenue. My thorough assessment of our business not only reaffirmed but strengthened my belief that our company’s technology platform has significant value, which we are seeking to maximize through both organic and inorganic growth opportunities. Longer term, we believe our continued execution on our strategic plan will drive scale, capture market share, and create even greater value for both our customers and stockholders.”

Non-GAAP Measures
We define non-GAAP loss from operations as U.S. GAAP net loss plus stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, severance and restructuring costs, gain on extinguishment of debt, other expense, net, and income tax (provision) benefit. We discuss non-GAAP loss from operations, including on a per share basis, in our quarterly earnings releases and certain other communications, as we believe non-GAAP operating loss from operations is an important measure that is not calculated according to U.S. GAAP. We use non-GAAP loss from operations in internal forecasts and models when establishing internal operating budgets, supplementing the financial results and forecasts reported to our Board of Directors, determining a component of bonus compensation for executive officers and other key employees based on operating performance, and evaluating short-term and long-term operating trends in our operations. We believe that the non-GAAP loss from operations financial measure assists in providing an enhanced understanding of our underlying operational measures to manage the business, to evaluate performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace, and to establish operational goals. We believe that the non-GAAP financial adjustments are useful to investors because they allow investors to evaluate the effectiveness of the methodology and information used by management in our financial and operational decision-making.

Non-GAAP loss from operations is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. We expect to continue to incur expenses similar to the financial adjustments described above in arriving at non-GAAP loss from operations and investors should not infer from our presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. The following table includes the reconciliations of our U.S. GAAP loss from operations, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, to our non-GAAP loss from operations for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2021.
