Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement net income presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP,we use Adjusted Net Income attributable to Autohome,Non-GAAP basic and diluted EPS and earnings per ADS,Adjusted net margin andAdjusted EBITDA as non-GAAP financial measures. We define Adjusted Net Income attributable to Autohome as net income attributable to Autohome excluding share-based compensation expenses,amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition,investment loss/(gain) relating to non-operating impact of a write-down of the initial investment in a financial product,loss/(gain) pickup of equity method investments,and non-recurring employee severance costs,with all the reconciliation items adjusted for related income tax effects. We define non-GAAP basic and diluted EPS as Adjusted Net Income attributable to Autohome divided by the basic and diluted weighted average number of ordinary shares. We define non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per ADS as Adjusted Net Income attributable to Autohome divided by the basic and diluted weighted average number of ADSs. We define Adjusted net margin as Adjusted Net Income attributable to Autohome divided by total net revenues. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to Autohome before income tax expense,depreciation expenses of property and equipment,amortization expenses of intangible assets and share-based compensation expenses.We present these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance,in addition to net income prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are important to help investors understand our operating and financial performance,compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis and assess our core operating results,as they exclude certain non-cash charges or items that are non-operating in nature. The use of the above non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations as they excluded certain items that have been and will continue to be incurred in the future,but such items should be considered in the overall evaluation of our results. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP,but should not be considered a substitute for,or superior to,financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures,please see the table captioned "UnauditedReconciliation of non-GAAP and GAAP Results" set forth at the end of this press release.
