Business Update Highlights
"Over the past two months, the PAVmed team has executed on its strategic restructuring plan to protect long-term shareholder interests during challenging market conditions by tightly focusing its efforts and resource allocation on near-term commercial activities and milestones," said Lishan Aklog, M.D., PAVmed's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "The plan is working and appears to have been right-sized—extending cash runway while assuring the commercial efforts are adequately resourced. Lucid continues to deliver steady EsoGuard test volume growth through organic sales and now high-volume testing events and is gaining traction with commercial payors. Veris' momentum is accelerating with an exciting commercial product, strong customer interest and a powerful business model which is not dependent on securing third-party reimbursement. I am proud how the team has battled through these challenges and emerged stronger with a bright commercial future for what remains a diversified portfolio."

Financial Results
PAVmed Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement our unaudited financial results presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), management provides certain non-GAAP financial measures of the Company's financial results. These non-GAAP financial measures include net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) and non-GAAP adjusted loss, which further adjusts EBITDA for stock-based compensation expense, loss on the issuance or modification of convertible securities, the periodic change in fair value of convertible securities, and loss on debt extinguishment. The foregoing non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted loss are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP.
Non-GAAP financial measures are presented with the intent of providing greater transparency to the information used by us in our financial performance analysis and operational decision-making. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful information to assist investors, shareholders, and other readers of our unaudited financial statements in making comparisons to our historical financial results and analyzing the underlying performance of our results of operations. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be, and should not be, a substitute for, considered superior to, considered separately from, or as an alternative to, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance readers' overall understanding of our current financial results and to provide further information for comparative purposes. Management believes the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors by isolating certain expenses, gains, and losses that may not be indicative of our core operating results and business outlook. Specifically, the non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP adjusted loss, and its presentation is intended to help the reader understand the effect of the loss on the issuance or modification of convertible securities, the periodic change in fair value of convertible securities, the loss on debt extinguishment and the corresponding accounting for non-cash charges on financial performance. In addition, management believes non-GAAP financial measures enhance the comparability of results against prior periods.
A reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure of all non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release for the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, and 2021 is as follows:
