During the fourth quarter of 2020, we changed our definition of Adjusted EBITDA to (a) exclude stock-based compensation expense and (b) include our share of Adjusted EBITDA from our unconsolidated joint ventures. All prior periods have been recast to conform to these changes. We now define Adjusted EBITDA for each segment as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization (inclusive of our share of Adjusted EBITDA from our unconsolidated joint ventures), and excluding certain items we do not believe to be indicative of our core operating results, specifically:
EXCLUDED
•Acquisition and Integration Costs
•Other (income) expense, net
•Restructuring Charges
•Stock-based compensation expense
•Intangible impairments
•COVID-19 Costs (as defined below)
•(Gain) loss on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment, net (including real estate)
Internally, we use Adjusted EBITDA as the basis for evaluating the performance of, and allocated resources to, our operating segments.
A reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:
