Supplemental Financial Measures

Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) plus impairment of long-lived assets, write-off of note receivable, loss on extinguishment of debt, and severance agreement charges, net of tax effect. Carmike believes adjusted net income (loss) is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for a motion picture exhibitor because it provides a measure of core operations.
