Management Comment
Todd Peterson, Digipath’s CFO, commented, “We continue to deal with the difficult macroeconomic forces presented by the Covid-19 pandemic that are out of our control; however, we have seen month-to-month revenue gains over the last three months that give us hope that there’s light at the end of the tunnel.

Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings (loss) before (i) other income (expense), (ii) interest expense, (iii) bad debts, (iv) depreciation and amortization, (v) loss on disposal of fixed assets, (vi) non-cash expenses relating to share-based payments recognized under ASC Topic 718, and (vii) amortization of debt discounts. We believe the use of this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding our current financial performance; however, Adjusted EBITDA does not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to GAAP measurements. Specifically, we believe Adjusted EBITDA results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain income and expenses that our management believes are not indicative of our core operating results, we believe that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that Adjusted EBITDA should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss is included below:
