EBITDA EBITDA consists of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and noncontrolling interest. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), and does not represent cash flow from operations. EBITDA is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure because management believes that it is important in evaluating JBSS's financial performance and market valuation.  In conformity with Regulation G, a reconciliation of EBITDA to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is presented in the following slide.
