Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On November 7, 2007, Legacy Reserves LP ("Legacy"), a Delaware limited partnership, issued a press release announcing financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information in this report is being furnished, not filed, pursuant to Item 2.02 of Form 8-K. Accordingly, the information in this report, including the press release, will not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement filed by Legacy Reserves LP under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated therein by reference.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The press release announcing the earnings discloses a financial measure, Adjusted EBITDA, that is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined under SEC rules. The press release furnishes a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to its nearest GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is presented as management believes it provides additional information and metrics relative to the performance of Legacy's business, such as the cash distributions we expect to pay to our unitholders, as well as our ability to meet our debt covenant compliance tests. Management believes that these financial measures indicate to our investors whether or not cash flow is being generated at a level that can sustain or support an increase in our quarterly distribution rates. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of other publicly traded partnerships or limited liabilit y companies because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flows for the period and is not presented as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for a measure or performance prepared in accordance with the United States generally accepted accounting principles.
