About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We present Adjusted EBITDA, defined as earnings before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization expense, dividends of preferred stock, and other non-operating expense (income), a non-GAAP financial measure, in this press release to provide a supplemental measure of our earnings. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of the Company’s cash flow. These non-GAAP financial measures may have limitations as analytical tools, and these measures should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for analysis of the Company’ results as reported under GAAP.
