Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (unaudited) Manufacturing Business ($’s in millions) Nine Months Ended Sept 30, 2016 Full Year 2016 Estimate Full Year 2017 Estimate Manufacturing pre-tax income $16.4 $17.9 $6.0- $8.0 Depreciation $3.8 $5.0 $5.0 Amortization of intangible assets $1.9 $2.6 $3.0 Interest $3.5 $4.5 $4.0 EBITDA $25.6 $30.0 $18.0 - $20.0 Interest ($3.5) ($4.5) ($4.0) Capital expenditures ($2.3) ($3.3) ($4.0) Change in working capital ($2.4) $2.1 - Stock-based compensation expense $0.6 $0.7 $1.0 Excess Cash Flow $18.0 $25.0 $11.0 - $13.0 To supplement our financial results determined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), we have also disclosed in the table below the following non-GAAP information for our Manufacturing Business: earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and Excess Cash Flow. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in understanding our Manufacturing Business as such useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency of supplemental information used by management. EBITDA is used by investors, as well as management in assessing our performance. Under the credit agreement with our lender (OrbiMed), Excess Cash Flow is one of the metrics used to determine the amount that OrbiMed may require the Company to prepay on the outstanding principal on our loan on a quarterly basis (see Notes to Financial Statements for description of the credit agreement). Excess Cash Flow is a useful measure of cash flow available to not just service debt, but also use for other Company operating activities, including product development and commercialization. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, reported GAAP results. Further, Non-GAAP financial measures, even if similarly titled, may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, and therefore should not be compared.
