RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company believes it is useful to present non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain significant items as a means to understand the performance of its business. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and reconciled net cash (debt) are measures not recognized in financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP.
We define EBITDA as income (loss) before interest expense (net of interest income), provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus stock compensation expense.
We define reconciled net cash (debt) as our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash less both the short and long-term portion under the Company’s credit agreement, deferred financing fees, and amounts received under the CARES Act.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and reconciled net cash (debt) are presented because we believe they are useful indicators of our performance and our ability to make strategic acquisitions and meet capital expenditures and debt service requirements. However, they are not intended to represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and should not be used as an alternative to net income (loss) as indicators of operating performance or cash flow as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and reconciled net cash (debt) are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Following is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and reconciled net cash (debt):
