Item 12.Disclosure of Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On February 2, 2004, the Company issued a press release announcing its results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2003. The press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99. The information in this report, including the exhibit hereto, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liability of that section. The information contained herein and in the accompanying exhibit shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission made by the Company, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
The Company provides certain non-GAAP financial measures as additional information relating to its future debt service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements. EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense. While EBITDA is not intended to represent net cash provided by operating activities as defined by generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an indicator of operating performance or an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity, we believe this measure is useful to investors to assess our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements. This calculation may differ in method of calculation from similarly titled measured used by other companies. The table above sets forth our EBITDA with a reconciliation to net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable financial measure under generally accepted accounting principles.
Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, we have provided a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures within the attached Exhibit 99.
