3 Note regarding n on - GAAP f inancial m easures The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management believes t hat EBITDA, a djusted EBITDA, free cash flow, and free cash flow yield, which are non - GAAP financial measures, provide additional meaningful information regarding the Company's performance and financial strength. Non - GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, and free cash flow yield included in this presentation may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Reconciliations of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, and free cash flow yield to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided in the tables accompanying this presentation. EBITDA is defined as net earnings attributable to common stockholders plus interest expense - net, income taxes, and depreciatio n and amortization. Other adjustments include the elimination of loan fee amortization that is included in both interest and amort iza tion, and the portion of depreciation that is included in noncontrolling interests. The Company has presented EBITDA because management use s t he measure to track performance and believes that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested p art ies in the evaluation of companies in the industry. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted with the selected items included in EBITDA as summarized in the tables accompan yin g this presentation. The Company has presented adjusted EBITDA because management uses adjusted EBITDA, and believes it is useful to investors, as a supplemental financial measure in the comparison of year - over - year performance. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, as stated in the consolidated statements of cash flow s, reduced by capital expenditures and distributions to noncontrolling interests. Free cash flow yield is defined as free cash flow divided by market value of equity (market cap). The Company has presented free cash flow and free cash flow yield because management uses these measures and believes they are useful to investors, as indications of the strength of the Company and its ability to generate cash and to evaluate the Company’s cash generation ability relative to its industry competitors.
