6 NON - GAAP MEASURES “Adjusted EBITDA” is a non - GAAP measure used by management that is not defined by U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Management calculates Adjusted EBITDA as the reported net income (loss), adjusted to e xcl ude income tax recovery (expense); other income (expense), net; loss on equity method investments; share - based compensation expense; deprec iation and amortization expense; (gain)/loss on asset impairment and restructuring; restructuring costs recorded in cost of goods sold; and charges related to the flow - through of inventory step - up on business combinations, and further adjusted to remove acquisition, divestiture, and oth er costs. Asset impairments related to periodic changes to the Company’s supply chain processes are not excluded from Adjusted EBITDA given t hei r occurrence through the normal course of core operational activities. Accordingly, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides mean ing ful and useful financial information, as this measure demonstrates the operating performance of businesses. The Adjusted EBITDA reconciliati on is presented in the Appendix to this Presentation under the heading “ADJUSTED EBITDA (NON - GAAP) RECONCILIATION” and explained in the Form 10 - Q. “Free Cash Flow” is a non - GAAP measure used by management that is not defined by U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. This measure is calculated as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchase s o f and deposits on property, plant and equipment. Accordingly, management believes that free cash flow presents meaningful information regarding th e amount of cash flow required to maintain and organically expand the Company’s business, and that the free cash flow measure provides meaning ful information regarding the Company’s liquidity requirements. The Free Cash Flow reconciliation is presented in the Appendix to this Presen tat ion under the heading “FREE CASH FLOW (NON - GAAP) RECONCILIATION” and explained in the Form 10 - Q. “Adjusted Gross Margin” and “Adjusted Gross Margin Percentage” are non - GAAP measures used by management that are not defined by U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Adjusted Gross Margin is calculated as gross ma rgin excluding restructuring and other charges recorded in cost of goods sold, and charges related to the flow - through of inventory s tep - up on business combinations. Adjusted Gross Margin Percentage is calculated as Adjusted Gross Margin divided by net revenue. Accordingly, ma nag ement believes that Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted Gross Margin Percentage presents meaningful information regarding normalized ma rgins and exclude one - time items that the Company expects to not recur over the long - term. Adjusted gross margin and adjusted gross margin percentage provide meaningful information regarding the Company’s profitability after adjusting for one - time items and further provide bett er visibility into the underlying trends and performance of the business. The Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted Gross Margin Percentage reconciliat ion is presented in the Appendix to this Presentation under the heading “ADJUSTED GROSS MARGIN (NON - GAAP) RECONCILIATION”.
