ITEM 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On March 17, 2011, American CareSource Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its earnings for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
In the attached press release and other public statements in connection with the press release, the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, which is a "non-GAAP financial measure," i.e., not a measure of financial performance under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as operating income before depreciation and amortization and excludes non-cash stock-based compensation expense, warrant amortization and severance costs. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, but not in lieu of, income from operations reported under GAAP. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is provided in the press release.
Management of the Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA, as an operating performance measure, and not as a liquidity measure, provides investors and analysts with a useful measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, tax structures, capital investment cycles, ages of related assets and compensation structures among otherwise comparable companies.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the exhibit attached hereto, is furnished under Item 2.02 - “Results of Operations and Financial Condition.” The information presented herein, including the exhibit attached hereto, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for any purpose, including for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section.
