(1)

The number of active customers represents the total number of individual customers who have purchased at least once directly from our sites during the preceding twelve-month period. The change in active customers in a reported period captures both the inflow of new customers as well as the outflow of existing customers who have not made a purchase in the last twelve months. We view the number of active customers as a key indicator of our growth.

(2)

LTM net revenue per active customer represents our total net revenue in the last twelve months divided by our total number of active customers for the same preceding twelve-month period. We view LTM net revenue per active customer as a key indicator of our customers’ purchasing patterns, including their initial and repeat purchase behavior.

(3)

Orders delivered represent the total orders delivered in any period, inclusive of orders that may eventually be returned. As we ship a large volume of packages through multiple carriers, actual delivery dates may not always be available, and as such we estimate delivery dates based on historical data. We recognize net revenue when an order is delivered, and therefore orders delivered, together with average order value, is an indicator of the net revenue we expect to recognize in a given period. We view orders delivered as a key indicator of our growth.

(4)

We define average order value as total net revenue in a given period divided by the orders delivered in that period. We view average order value as a key indicator of the mix of products on our sites, the mix of offers and promotions and the purchasing behavior of our customers.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), this earnings release and the accompanying tables and the related earnings conference call contain certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Diluted Earnings or Loss per Share and Net Revenue Constant Currency Growth. 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. We have provided a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure in this earnings release.

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss before depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation and related taxes, interest income or expense, net, other income or expense, net, provision or benefit for income taxes, net, non-recurring items and other items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by Net Revenue. We disclose Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. In particular, we believe the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis as these costs may vary independent of business performance. For instance, we exclude the impact of equity-based compensation and related taxes as we do not consider this item to be indicative of our core operating performance. Investors should, however, understand that equity-based compensation and related taxes will be a significant recurring expense in our business and an important part of the compensation provided to our employees. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.

We calculate Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by or used in operating activities less net cash used to purchase property and equipment and site and software development costs (collectively, “Capital Expenditures”). We disclose Free Cash Flow because it is an important indicator of our business performance as it measures the amount of cash we generate. Accordingly, we believe that Free Cash Flow provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management.

We calculate Adjusted Diluted Earnings or Loss per Share as net income or loss plus equity-based compensation and related taxes, provision or benefit for income taxes, net, non-recurring items, other items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance, and, if dilutive, interest expense associated with convertible debt instruments under the if-converted method divided by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock used in the computation of diluted earnings or loss per share. Accordingly, we believe that these adjustments to our adjusted diluted net income or loss before calculating per share amounts for all periods presented provide a more meaningful comparison between our operating results from period to period.

We calculate Net Revenue Constant Currency Growth by translating the current period local currency net revenue by the currency exchange rates used to translate the financial statements in the comparable prior-year period. We disclose Net Revenue Constant Currency Growth because it is an important indicator of our operating results. Accordingly, we believe that Net Revenue Constant Currency Growth provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating trends in our operating results in the same manner as our management.

We calculate forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures based on internal forecasts that omit certain amounts that would be included in forward-looking GAAP financial measures. We do not attempt to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to forward looking GAAP financial measures because forecasting the timing or amount of items that have not yet occurred and are out of our control is inherently uncertain and unavailable without unreasonable efforts. Further, we believe that such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. Such items could have a substantial impact on GAAP measures of financial performance.

The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. We do not, nor do we suggest that investors should consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors should also note that the non-GAAP financial measures we use may not be the same non-GAAP financial measures and may not be calculated in the same manner as that of other companies, including other companies in our industry.

New Bestseller “ChatGPT AI Book Writing Formula” Hits #1 in Amazon: 9 Steps to “prompt, write, publish” Your Nonfiction Book

Published

on

By

A new book, “ChatGPT AI Book Writing Formula,” shows nonfiction authors how to leverage AI technology to make book writing faster and easier. Launched this week on Amazon, it quickly reached #1 status in two categories. Author Caryl Westmore distills the writing and self-publishing process into a 9-step formula, assisted by ChatGPT AI, paying special attention to prompt engineering as the key to success.

NEWPORT, Isle of Wight, Engaland, Nov. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bestselling author and book coach Caryl Westmore has launched a groundbreaking new book, “ChatGPT AI Book Writing Formula,” which has already achieved #1 status in two Amazon categories. The book shows authors how to streamline the writing process with AI technology while preserving their authentic voice.

“ChatGPT AI Book Writing Formula: 9 Steps for Coaches, Therapists, and Entrepreneurs to Write a Client-Attraction Book Faster and Easier with AI” teaches readers to “prompt, write, publish” a nonfiction book with AI tools like ChatGPT (and Claude) as coaches, collaborators, and brilliant assistants.

“I originally talked about ‘dancing’ with ChatGPT to overcome writer’s block in my book “Bust Writer’s Block Forever,” says Westmore. “But this book takes AI collaboration to a whole new level.”

“AI streamlines book writing,” says Westmore. “Writers must, however, humanize ‘AI-speak’ with personal anecdotes, case studies, and emotions.”

Prompt Engineering (the art of interacting with ChatGPT AI) can be challenging at first. Westmore includes a free bonus PDF, “Time-Saving Prompts for Authors,” and plans a follow-up course, “Author Accelerator: Master AI-Powered Prompts for Writing, Editing, and Publishing Your Book in 21 days.”

View Artificial Intelligence as either fearful or fascinating. This book reassures readers that it can be both fun and useful in assisting with the “hard-lifting” when it comes to self-publishing.

“ChatGPT AI Book Writing Formula” is currently available on Amazon at a special launch price of $0.99. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DL4L79PQ.

WOLFBOX Draws Awareness on the Important Role of Dash Cams in Ensuring Driver Safety and Preventing Insurance Fraud

Published

on

By

DALLAS, Nov. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Auto insurance fraud is rapidly growing with fraudsters orchestrating staged accidents, exaggerated injury claims, and even deliberate collisions to take advantage of insurance payouts. Fraudulent claims not only cost insurers billions of dollars every year, but also result in increased premiums and severe financial consequences for innocent victims. Proving innocence in these cases is difficult, often requiring the assistance of an insurance fraud lawyer, and can lead to lengthy legal battles and payouts. Thus, WOLFBOX wants to make drivers aware of how to ensure their safety and protect themselves from insurance fraud.

What is insurance fraud? It refers to the illegal act of deceiving an insurance company for financial gain. Recently, a video of an alleged car insurance fraud in New York City that went viral on TikTok captured how these fraudsters come out of nowhere and stage an accident. Luckily for the victim in this video, her car’s dash cam recorded the entire incident. This video has raised awareness around the importance of owning a dash cam to prevent insurance scams.

With such incidents on the rise, dash cams have emerged as the most effective tools for preventing and combating car insurance fraud. With their ability to continuously record the road and driver interactions, these devices provide an unbiased, reliable account of what actually happens during an incident. Dash cams can be essential for drivers who need to know how to report insurance fraud or are seeking legal recourse.

From round-the-clock monitoring to providing objective evidence, a dash cam serves as a handy device for drivers to keep themselves and their vehicles safe. One of the primary advantages of a dash cam is its ability to record real-time video footage of the road and surroundings. In the event of an accident or dispute, this footage serves as irrefutable evidence, helping to determine fault and protect drivers from fraudulent claims. Dash cam footage is crucial when settling disputes in courts or with insurance companies, especially in car insurance fraud examples.

Apart from 24/7 surveillance, some of the recent dash cams also offer extremely high resolution video even in dark or poorly lit conditions. For instance, WOLFBOX’s 3-channel X5 dash cam is equipped with the latest best-in-class IMX 678 sensor that captures license plates and other critical details day or night with enhanced image quality and color reproduction. With its three-channel monitoring system, the dash cam covers the vehicle’s front, rear and interior with 4K and 2.5K clarity, significantly reducing blind spots and improving overall driving safety.

Dash cams continue to record even when the vehicle is parked.This is especially useful for capturing footage of hit-and-run incidents or vandalism cases. The X5 comes equipped with two parking modes, including time-lapse monitoring and collision detection. These modes ensure continuous surveillance, offering peace of mind whether the vehicle is parked or in motion.

Many advanced dash cams such as the X5 are equipped with GPS functionality that logs vehicle’s speed, location, and route. This data can also prove to be critical in disputes where the other party falsely claims speeding or reckless driving.

Dash cams also help promote responsible driving. With a dash cam installed, drivers tend to become more cautious and aware of their driving habits, knowing that their behavior is being recorded. This leads to a culture of safer and more responsible driving on the road.

As insurance fraud becomes more sophisticated, it’s crucial for drivers to take proactive measures to protect themselves and their vehicles. Investing in a dash cam is a simple yet highly effective way to do just that.

This expansion marks a significant step in the company’s growth, as Rise48 Residential has already taken on the management of four properties in Dallas and Fort Worth, TX, with plans to expand further in Q4.

Zach Haptonstall, CEO & Co-Founder of Rise48 Equity said, “We’ve recently had numerous lenders reach out to us saying they’re very happy with how we manage and operate the assets we currently own as a borrower, and these same lenders have asked us to help take over third-party fee management for other assets that they have foreclosed on from other borrowers. We saw an opportunity to expand on what we do best, which is manage and execute value-add business plans on existing multifamily properties.

The launch of Rise48 Residential allows us to share and expand our proprietary methods to third parties for marketing, recruiting staff, hiring, training, controlling supply chain, and executing on business plans. In Q4 we are taking over third-party management for other property owners in Arizona and have more assets in the pipeline from lenders coming in Texas. We will serve property owners and lenders in the Southwest, Southeast, and Texas markets for third-party fee management.

Our goal is to manage 50,000 units nationwide in the next 5 years for third parties. We will continue to grow our investment platform Rise48 Equity where we acquire and manage assets that we own.

Launching Rise48 Residential allows us to extend our high standard of property management to more communities, ensuring we can drive value not only for investors and lenders, but most importantly for residents,” said Zach Haptonstall, CEO & Co-Founder of Rise48 Equity. “We’re excited to bring this level of expertise to Dallas and are committed to continued growth in this market and beyond.”

Rise48 Residential provides a comprehensive range of services, including operations, financial planning & analysis, human resources, advanced data analytics, and marketing, designed to streamline operations and enhance asset value.

The company aims to bring its unique blend of operational expertise and strategic focus to each property it manages, ensuring maximum returns for investors and a high-quality living experience for residents.
