NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES This presentation includes certain non-gaap financial measures, including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. These non-gaap financial measures are used as supplemental financial measures by our management to evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period without regard to the impact of our financing methods, capital structure or non-operating income and expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by our lenders to evaluate our compliance with covenants. We believe that these measures are meaningful to our investors to enhance their understanding of our financial performance. These measures should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP and may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies.
