We expect a net loss of ($0.27) to ($0.24) per share on a GAAP basis, and ($0.01) to $0.01 per share on a non-GAAP basis. We expect adjusted EBITDA of $20.5 million to $21.5 million, and expect to generate non-GAAP operating income of between $2.0 million and $2.5 million.

SEGMENT REPORTING We operate under two business segments: Software and Network connectivity. The Software segment includes all revenue related to the delivery of our software applications, plus the associated professional services and setup fees. The Network connectivity segment includes all voice and data long distance services provided to customers. For segment reporting, we classify operating expenses as either "direct" or "indirect." Direct expense refers to costs attributable solely to either selling and marketing efforts or research and development efforts. Indirect expense refers to costs that management considers to be overhead in running the business. Management evaluates expenditures for both selling and marketing and research and development efforts at the segment level without the allocation of overhead expenses, such as rent, utilities and depreciation on property and equipment. Operating segment revenues and profitability for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows (in thousands):
RECONCILIATION of NON-GAAP MEASURES: "Adjusted EBITDA" is Earnings Before deductions for Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization and Stock-Based Compensation. The "Non-GAAP" measures represent the elimination of amortization of acquired intangible assets and stock-based compensation. Neither are measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Adjusted EBITDA and the Non-GAAP measures are provided for the use of the reader in understanding our operating results and are not prepared in accordance with, nor does it serve as an alternative to GAAP measures and may be materially different from similar measures used by other companies. While not a substitute for information prepared in accordance with GAAP, management believes that this information is helpful for investors to more easily understand our operating financial performance. Management also believes these measures may better enable an investor to form views of our potential financial performance in the future. These measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
