APPENDIX A
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We occasionally utilize financial measures and terms not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) in order to provide investors with an alternative method for assessing our operating results in a manner that enables investors to more thoroughly evaluate our current performance as compared to past performance. We also believe these non-GAAP measures provide investors with a better baseline for modeling our future earnings expectations. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures for the same purpose. We believe that our investors should have access to the same set of tools that we use in analyzing our results. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We have provided a definition below for these non-GAAP financial measures, together with an explanation of why management uses these measures and why management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors. In addition, we have provided a reconciliation within the Earnings Release to reconcile these non-GAAP financial measures utilized therein to its equivalent GAAP financial measure.
Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income taxes, gain (loss) on sale of assets, (income) loss from closed locations, and other non-cash or special items including asset impairments, facility closure costs, acquisition costs, severance, conversion, transaction and integration costs, and stock compensation expense. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure in the evaluation of our business and believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides a meaningful measure of our performance because it eliminates the effects of period to period changes in taxes, costs associated with capital investments, interest expense, stock compensation expense, and other non-cash and non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) or other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. When evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, investors should consider, among other factors, (i) increasing or decreasing trends in Adjusted EBITDA, (ii) whether Adjusted EBITDA has remained at positive levels historically, and (iii) how Adjusted EBITDA compares to our debt outstanding. We provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss). Because Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income (loss) and may vary among companies, Adjusted EBITDA presented by us may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA does not give effect to the cash we must use to service our debt or pay income taxes and thus does not reflect the funds generated from or used in operations or actually available for capital investments.
Adjusted Net Income
We define adjusted net income as GAAP net income from continuing operations before non-cash or special items including facility closure costs, conversion, acquisition or integration costs, debt prepayment premiums, debt issuance cost write-offs, debt discount/premium write-offs and non-cash release of tax valuation allowance and revaluation of deferred taxes. Our management uses adjusted net income as a supplemental measure in the evaluation of our business and believes that adjusted net income provides a meaningful measure of our performance because it eliminates the effects of period to period non-cash and non-recurring items. Adjusted net income is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. When evaluating adjusted net income, investors should consider, among other factors, (i) increasing or decreasing trends in adjusted net income, and (ii) whether adjusted net income has remained at positive levels historically. We provide a reconciliation of adjusted net income to GAAP net income. Because adjusted net income excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income (loss) and may vary among companies, net income (loss) presented by us may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Free Cash Flow
We define free cash flow as GAAP net cash from operating activities net of purchases of property, plant and equipment. Our management uses free cash flow as a supplemental measure in the evaluation of our business as we believe it provides a meaningful evaluation of our liquidity. Free cash flow is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net cash flow from operations or other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
