Fiscal Year 2018 Outlook
USAT is raising its outlook for fiscal year 2018. For full fiscal year 2018, the company now expects revenue to be between $140 million to $145 million and adjusted EBITDA to be between $13.5 million to $14.5 million. USAT expects total connections to its service as of the end of the fiscal year to be in the 1.03 million to 1.07 million range. USAT continues to expect the Cantaloupe transaction to be accretive in fiscal 2018, net of one-time transaction and integration expenses and any purchase accounting adjustments.
USA Technologies has not reconciled the company's adjusted EBITDA outlook to GAAP net income (loss) due to the uncertainty and potential variability of the provision for (benefit from) income taxes, and integration and acquisition costs, each of which is a reconciling item between adjusted EBITDA and GAAP net income (loss). Because these items are uncertain, depend on various factors, cannot be reasonably predicted, and could have a significant impact on the calculation of GAAP net income (loss), USA Technologies has not provided guidance for GAAP net income (loss) or a reconciliation of the company's adjusted EBITDA outlook to GAAP net income (loss). Accordingly, a GAAP net income (loss) outlook and a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA outlook to GAAP net income (loss) is not available without unreasonable effort. For information regarding the reconciliation of historical non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures, see "Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below and the reconciliation tables included in this press release under "Financial Schedules".

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). Reconciliations between non-GAAP financial measures and the most comparable GAAP financial measures are set forth below in Financial Schedule E.
The following non-GAAP financial measures are discussed herein: adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, non-GAAP net income (loss), and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share. The presentation of these additional financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, superior to, as a substitute for, or as a measure of, the financial measures prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, including the net income or net loss of USAT, net cash provided/used by operating activities, profitability or net earnings. Management recognizes that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the items associated with USAT's net income or net loss as determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are not required by or defined under GAAP and may be materially different from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. USAT has provided below in Financial Schedule E the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
As used herein, non-GAAP net income (loss) represents GAAP net income (loss) excluding costs or benefits relating to any adjustment for fair value of warrant liabilities, non-cash portions of the Company's income tax benefit (provision), non-recurring fees and charges that were incurred in connection with the acquisition and integration of Cantaloupe during the current fiscal year and VendScreen, Inc. ("VendScreen") during the prior fiscal year, and non-cash expenses for equity awards under our equity incentive plans. This is the first financial period for which we have adjusted for the non-cash expenses attributable to equity awards, and we intend to make such adjustments for future financial periods. Management believes that non-GAAP net income (loss) is an important measure of USAT's business. Non-GAAP income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Management believes that non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share are important measures of the Company's business. Management uses the aforementioned non-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and to gain an understanding of our comparative operating performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures serve as a useful metric for our management and investors because they enable a better understanding of the long-term performance of our core business and facilitate comparisons of our operating results over multiple periods, and when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures and our reconciliations, enhance investors' overall understanding of our current and future financial performance. Additionally, the Company utilizes non-GAAP net income (loss) as a metric in its executive officer and management incentive compensation plans.
As used herein, Adjusted EBITDA represents net loss before interest income, interest expense, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation, amortization, non-recurring fees and charges that were incurred in connection with the acquisition and integration of Cantaloupe during the current fiscal year and VendScreen during the prior fiscal year, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, and stock-based compensation expense. We have excluded the non-operating item, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, because it represents a non-cash gain or charge that is not related to the Company's operations. We have excluded the non-cash expense, stock-based compensation, as it does not reflect the cash-based operations of the Company. We have excluded the non-recurring costs and expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition of Cantaloupe during the current fiscal year and VendScreen during the prior fiscal year in order to allow more accurate comparison of the financial results to historical operations. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because we believe it is useful to investors as a measure of comparative operating performance. Additionally, the Company utilizes Adjusted EBITDA as a metric in its executive officer and management incentive compensation plans.
As used herein, adjusted operating income represents operating income before the non-recurring costs and expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition of Cantaloupe during the current fiscal year and VendScreen during the prior fiscal year, and the amortization expenses related to our acquisition-related intangibles. We have excluded these non-recurring costs and expenses in order to allow more accurate comparison of the financial results to historical operations and we believe such a comparison is useful to investors as a measure of comparative operating performance. This is the first financial period for which we have adjusted for the amortization expenses related to our acquisition-related intangibles, and we intend to make such adjustments for future financial periods.
