Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and other special significant items as listed in the table below.

We present Adjusted EBITDA because it is a primary measure used by management, and in our industry, to evaluate operating performance and enhances investors' overall understanding of the financial performance of our business. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance. We compensate for the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures by using them to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors affecting the business other than GAAP results alone. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
