| 34 Reconciliation of Non - GAAP measures Included in this presentation, we have disclosed certain non - GAAP measures as defined by Regulation G .. The following reconciles these items to net income and cash flows as reported under GAAP .. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to the Company before the effect of net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, accretion on asset retirement obligations, amortization of sales contracts and non - operating expenses .. Adjusted EBITDA may also be adjusted for items that may not reflect the trend of future results by excluding transactions that are not indicative of the Company's core operating performance .. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant in understanding and assessing our financial condition .. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, nor as an alternative to net income, income from operations, cash flows from operations or as a measure of our profitability, liquidity or performance under generally accepted accounting principles .. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of its segments and allocate resources to the segments .. Furthermore, analogous measures are used by industry analysts and investors to evaluate our operating performance .. Investors should be aware that our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies .. The table below shows how we calculate Adjusted EBITDA ..
