23 Definitions BPD: the number of barrels per calendar day of crude oil or petroleum products. BPSD: the number of barrels per stream day of crude oil or petroleum products. EBITDA: Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which we refer to as EBITDA, is calculated as net income plus (i) interest expense net of interest income, (ii) income tax provision, and (iii) depreciation, depletion and amortization. EBITDA is not a calculation provided for under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; however, the amounts included in the EBITDA calculation are derived from amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or operating income as an indication of our operating performance or as an alternative to operating cash flow as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA is presented here because it is a widely used financial indicator used by investors and analysts to measure performance. EBITDA is also used by our management for internal analysis and as a basis for financial covenants. Our historical EBITDA is reconciled to net income under "Reconciliation to Amounts Reported Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" of Holly Corporation's 2009 10-K filed February 26, 2010 Gas Oil Hydrocracker: a refinery unit which uses catalyst at high pressure and temperature and in the presence of hydrogen to convert high boiling point hydrocarbons to light transportation fuels and low sulfur FCC feedstock. MMSCFD: million standard cubic feet per day. Refining gross margin or refinery gross margin: the difference between average net sales price and average costs of products per barrel of produced refined products. This does not include the associated depreciation, depletion and amortization costs. Refining gross margin or refinery gross margin is a non-GAAP performance measure that is used by our management and others to compare our refining performance to that of other companies in our industry. This margin does not include the effect of depreciation, depletion and amortization. Other companies in our industry may not calculate this performance measure in the same manner. Our historical refining gross margin or refinery gross margin is reconciled to net income under "Reconciliation to Amounts Reported Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" of Holly Corporation's 2009 10-K filed February 26, 2010. Net Operating Margin: Net operating margin is a non-GAAP performance measure that is used by our management and others to compare our refining performance to that of other companies in our industry. This margin does not include the effect of depreciation, depletion and amortization. Other companies in our industry may not calculate this performance measure in the same manner. Our historical net operating margin is reconciled to net income under "Reconciliation to Amounts Reported Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" of Holly Corporation's 2009 10-K filed February 26, 2010. Solvent deasphalter / residuum oil supercritical extraction ("ROSE"): a refinery unit that uses a light hydrocarbon like propane or butane to extract non asphaltene heavy oils from asphalt or atmospheric reduced crude. These deasphalted oils are then further converted to gasoline and diesel in the FCC process. The remaining asphaltenes are either sold, blended to fuel oil or blended with other asphalt as a hardener. Steady State EBITDA: EBITDA as defined above calculated on the basis of our projection of normal pipeline and terminal volumes from our customers, applicable tariffs and fees, and normal expense levels, and assuming no material unplanned shutdowns or unavailable capacity.
