24 Reconciliation of EBITDA & Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA The following tables summarize EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for Buckeye Partners, L.P. (the Partnership ) for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004, as well as the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and EBITDA, a measure not defined under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), is defined by the Partnership as income before interest expense (including amortization and write-off of deferred debt financing costs), income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA, also a non-gaap measure, is defined as EBITDA plus General Partner incentive compensation expense. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating profit, cash flow from operations or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude some items that affect net income and these items may vary among other companies, the EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA data presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures at other companies. The Partnership has provided Adjusted EBITDA in addition to EBITDA because, commencing in the fourth quarter of 2006, the Partnership reports incentive payments to the General Partner as partnership distributions, rather than incentive compensation expense, which is how such payments were reported in periods prior to the fourth quarter of Accordingly, the General Partner incentive compensation presented below includes only three quarters of incentive payments for 2006 and does not include the $6.6 million incentive payment paid in the fourth quarter of In 2007, and future periods thereafter, net income does not include the General Partner incentive payments. Management of the Partnership uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as performance measures to assist in the analysis and assessment of the Partnership's operations, to evaluate the viability of proposed projects and to determine overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities. The Partnership believes that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures used by the Partnership s management.
