BAS_Logo 200817 Explanatory Information Adjusted EBITDA means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization., gain or loss of disposal of assets and any non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA is used as an supplemental financial measure by our management and directors and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, to assess: • the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis; • the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest on our indebtedness; and • our operating performance and return on invested capital as compared to those of other companies in the well services industry, without regard to financing methods and capital structure. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income, and these measures may vary among other companies. Limitations to using Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool include: • EBITDA does not reflect our current or future requirements for capital expenditures or capital commitments; • EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on, our debt; • EBITDA does not reflect income taxes; • although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and • other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness a comparison measure.
