EBITDA as defined in our credit agreement ("Adjusted EBITDA") are non-GAAP measures used by management to measure performance. We also believe that these measures may be used by certain investors to analyze and compare our operating performance between accounting periods and against the operating results of other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates and to measure our ability to service our debt. Our lenders also use Adjusted EBITDA to measure our ability to service and/or incur additional indebtedness under our credit facilities. However, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows or other financial statement data prepared in accordance with US GAAP or as a measure of our performance, profitability or liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA are not calculated under US GAAP and therefore are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Includes foreign exchange gains and losses, corporate office relocation costs, severance, certain legal expenses and other non-cash expenses. Appendix: Reconciliation with Reported Net Income (Loss)
