Non-GAAP Financial Measures: We use the non-GAAP financial measures “EBITDA,” “free cash flow” and “free cash flow per share” in these materials. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Consolidated EBITDA can be reconciled to Net income (loss) using the following calculation: Net income (loss) less Income tax benefit (expense), plus Interest expense and Depreciation and amortization expense equals EBITDA. Management and some members of the investment community utilize EBITDA to measure financial performance on an ongoing basis. However, EBITDA should not be used in lieu of GAAP measures such as net income and cash flow from operations. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. Free cash flow can be reconciled to operating cash flow using the following calculation: Operating cash flow plus investing cash flow (consisting of asset sale proceeds less business acquisition costs, capital expenditures and changes in restricted cash) equals free cash flow. We use free cash flow to measure the cash generating ability of our operating asset-based energy business relative to our capital expenditure obligations. Free cash flow should not be used in lieu of GAAP measures with respect to cash flows and should not be interpreted as available for discretionary expenditures, as mandatory expenditures such as debt obligations are not deducted from the measure. Free cash flow per share is also a non-GAAP financial measure. Free cash flow per share can be reconciled to operating cash flow using the following calculation: Operating cash flow plus investing cash flow (consisting of asset sale proceeds less business acquisition costs, capital expenditures and changes in restricted cash) equals free cash flow, and free cash flow divided by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period equals free cash flow per share. We use free cash flow per share to determine whether the cash generating ability of our operating asset-based energy business has improved period over period, relative to our capital expenditure obligations. Free cash flow per share should not be used in lieu of GAAP measures with respect to cash flows and should not be interpreted as an amount that is available for the direct benefit of our shareholders. |
