References to quantities of oil or gas include amounts we believe will ultimately be produced, and may include “proved reserves” and quantities of oil or gas that are not yet classified as “proved reserves” under SEC definitions. Statements of oil and gas reserves are estimates based on assumptions and may be imprecise. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure regarding reserves in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

* Non-GAAP Reconciliations
 
 
 
 
* Non-GAAP Reconciliations We calculate Adjusted EBITDAX as earnings before net interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization and exploration expense. These non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and other internal and external users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance; they are widely used by investors in our industry to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items which can vary substantially from company to company, and help investors meaningfully compare our results from period to period. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, but instead is supplemental to, income from operations, net income and other income data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions which are excluded from this measure.
