Non-GAAP Financial Measure
The information provided in the tables in this release includes certain
non-GAAP financial measures as defined under Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) rules. In accordance with SEC rules, the Company has
provided, in the supplemental information and the footnotes to the tables,
a reconciliation of those measures to the most directly comparable GAAP
measures.
EBITDA:
EBITDA is defined as income before depreciation and amortization, net
interest expense and income taxes. EBITDA is not a measure of financial
performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. It should not be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for net income, operating income, cash flows from operating,
investing or financing activities, or any other measure calculated in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The items
excluded from EBITDA are significant components in understanding and
evaluating financial performance and liquidity. Management routinely
calculates and communicates EBITDA and believes that it is useful to
investors because it is commonly used as an analytical indicator within our
industry to evaluate performance, measure leverage capacity and debt
service ability, and to estimate current or prospective enterprise value.
EBITDA is also used in measurements of borrowing availability and certain
covenants contained in our credit agreement.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Continuing Operations
Net Income to EBITDA:
