FuelCell Energy Q3 2020 Investor Presentation | GAAP to Non - GAAP Reconciliation 16 These supplemental non - GAAP measures are provided to assist readers in determining operating performance . Management believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful in assessing performance and highlighting trends on an overall basis . Management also believes these measures are used by companies in the fuel cell sector and by securities analysts and investors when comparing the results of the Company with those of other companies . EBITDA differs from the most comparable GAAP measure, net loss attributable to the Company, primarily because it does not include finance expense, income taxes and depreciation of property, plant and equipment and project assets . Adjusted EBITDA adjusts EBITDA for stock - based compensation, restructuring charges and other unusual items such as the legal settlement recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 , which are considered either non - cash or non - recurring . While management believes that these non - GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors, there are limitations associated with the use of these measures . The measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation . The Company’s non - GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures, and should be read only in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP .
