Meaning and Determination

Gross billing broadly helps in measuring the topline performance of the company. It is based on the invoice value of a product and service rendered. The invoice value of any commodity is estimated on a relative basis primarily through the value of the cash involved in any contract with customers. Furthermore, it is attributed to the span of time in which the commodity is being utilized. After that, the company adds the invoice value, to the resulting amount, for services provided in that particular period.
The services rendered include extended warranty contracts serviced, fuel provided, and power supplied under Power Purchase Agreements (“PPAs”). The noteworthy assumptions and estimates underlying gross billings comprise the allocation of revenue, omitting the provision for warrants, from the company’s GAAP revenue numbers based on relative stand-alone selling prices.

The Rationale for Metric adjustments

The Company’s Compensation Committee determines the metrics such as Gross billing and Adjusted EBITDA for the annual cash incentive plan. It focuses on the fundamentals of key performance indicators of business by modifying the item which does not represent the core performance. The primary objective of this adjustment is to ensure that no activity unrelated to the core operation inflate or impair the payout levels artificially. As well as, reflect the factors the management can directly have control over.
