Post #38 by BenSolar on the Upstart Holdings board

If someone appears to be repeatedly personal, lean towards patience as they might not mean offense. If you are sure, however, then do not deepen the problem by being negative; instead, simply place them on ignore by clicking the unhappy yellow face to the right of their name.

Hi Ears, nice post!

Thanks for writing that up with nice formatting and all. Very helpful.

I do question your assumption that the totality of the adjustment between GAAP and non-GAAP net income will be stock based compensation. I would instead expect most of that $70m to be 'everything but the kitchen sink' 'one time' adjustments/write-offs we'll be seeing.

That said, I am concerned with how much the company uses SBC. Actual compensation in Q4 of $34m seems way too high. I guess that will be coming down some in following quarters after Q1, thanks to the layoffs, but it'll still be too high for my tastes.
