12 Non - GAAP Financial Measures To supplement our financial results determined by GAAP, we have also disclosed in this presentation and the table below the f oll owing non - GAAP information: adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). Adjusted EBITDA is a non - GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of certain items and, therefore, has not been calculate d in accordance with GAAP. This non - GAAP financial measure excludes from net loss net interest, depreciation and amortization, taxes, net revenue adjustments, deal expenses, sh are - based compensation expense, amortization of inventory step - up included in cost of product sales, royalty expense adjustments, severance expenses, non - recurring arbitration and litigation expenses, certain research and development expenses, cost of inducement, change in fair value of contingent consideration and derivative liabilities, dispos al of assets and impairments of intangibles and goodwill, foreign currency transactions, extinguishment of debt and restructuring costs. In addition, from time to time in the future t her e may be other items that we may exclude for the purposes of our use of adjusted EBITDA; likewise, we may in the future cease to exclude items that we have historically exclu ded for the purpose of adjusted EBITDA. We believe that adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating results because it exclu des or adjusts amounts that management and the board of directors do not consider part of core operating results or that are non - recurring when assessing the performance of th e organization. We believe that inclusion of adjusted EBITDA provides consistency and comparability with past reports of financial results and provides consistency in calculations by outside analysts reviewing our results. Accordingly, we believe that adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency of supplemental information used by man agement. We believe that these non - GAAP financial measures are helpful in understanding our past financial performance and potential futu re results, but there are limitations associated with the use of these non - GAAP financial measures. These non - GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting and may not be completely comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the exac t m ethod of calculation between companies. Adjustment items that are excluded from our non - GAAP financial measures can have a material impact on net earnings. As a result, these non - GAAP financial measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, net loss, cash flow from operations or ot her measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by using these non - GAAP financial measures as a supplement to GAAP financial measures and by reconciling the non - GAAP financial measure to its most comparable GAAP financial measure. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of the non - GAAP fi nancial measure to its most comparable GAAP financial measure that is included below in this presentation.
