Other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because it is a financial measure that is frequently requested by third parties. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not considered under generally accepted accounting principles as a primary measure of an entity’s financial results, and acco rdi ngly, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to operating income, net income, or cash flows as determined under generally accepted accounting principles and as reported by t he Company.

This measure, however, is not considered a primary measure of an entity’s fin ancial results under generally accepted accounting principles, and accordingly, should not be considered an alternative to operating results as determined under generally accepted accounting p rin ciples and as reported by the Company.
