Operational Highlights:
- Of the 13,000 gross new connections, approximately 83% were from traditional ePort vending, and 17% were primarily from adjacent vertical markets, such as kiosk, amusement and gaming and laundry. Of the new gross connections, 84% were sold to existing customers.
-
Reached 1,100 connections on the ePort Connect Service on

New connections under the trial of the QuickStart 5-year capital lease program accounted for approximately 35% and purchases of terminals accounted for approximately 30% of the sales mix compared to 0% and 20% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, respectively.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations between non-GAAP and GAAP measures are set forth below.
The following non-GAAP financial measures are discussed herein: adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net earnings per common share - diluted. The presentation of these additional financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation from, or superior to, or as a substitute for the financial measures prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles), including the net income or net loss of USAT or net cash used in operating activities. Management recognizes that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the items associated with USAT's net income or net loss as determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are not required by or defined under GAAP and may be materially different from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. USAT has provided below the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Non-GAAP net income (loss) represents GAAP net income (loss) excluding costs relating to the proxy contest, benefit from reduction of the deferred tax asset valuation allowances, any adjustment for fair value of warrant liabilities, and any charges for impairment of intangible assets.
Non-GAAP net earnings (loss) per common share - diluted is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income (loss) applicable to common shares by the number of diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and change in fair value of warrant liabilities and stock-based compensation expense and any impairment expense on intangible assets. We have excluded the non-operating items, benefit from reduction of the deferred tax asset valuation allowances and change in fair value of warrant liabilities, because they represent a non-cash charge that is not related to USAT's operations. We have excluded the non-cash expenses, stock-based compensation and any impairment expense, as they do not reflect the cash-based operations of USAT. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because we believe it is useful to investors as a measure of comparative operating performance and liquidity, and because it is less susceptible to variances in actual performance resulting from depreciation and amortization and non-cash charges for changes in fair value of warrant liabilities and stock-based compensation expense.
Management believes that non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net earnings (loss) per common share - diluted are important measures of USAT's business. Management uses the aforementioned non-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and to gain an understanding of our comparative operating performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures serve as useful metrics for our management and investors because they enable a better understanding of the long-term performance of our core business and facilitate comparisons of our operating results over multiple periods, and when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures and our reconciliations, enhance investors' overall understanding of our current and future financial performance.
