Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating our business, we consider and use non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP net income and Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our operating performance. We consider non-GAAP revenue and net income measurements to be an important indicator of overall performance of the Company because it allows us to illustrate the impact of revenue generated from our multi-element contract as well as to eliminate the effects of share-based compensation and litigation expense. We define EBITDA as GAAP net income before net interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus income from our multi-element contract and expenses that we do not consider reflective of our ongoing operations. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to review and assess our operating performance. We also believe use of Adjusted EBITDA facilitates investors’ use of operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by backing out potential differences caused by variations in such items as capital structures (affecting relative interest expense and share-based compensation expense), the book amortization of intangibles (affecting relative amortization expense), the age and book value of facilities and equipment (affecting relative depreciation expense) and other non cash expenses. We also present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a measure of financial performance.
The terms non-GAAP revenue and net income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and are not measures of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our non-GAAP revenue and net income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, you should not consider non-GAAP revenue and net income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in isolation, or as a substitute for net income (loss) or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations include, but are not limited to:
| • | | EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
|
| • | | they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; |
|
| • | | they do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt; |
|
| • | | they do not reflect income taxes or the cash requirements for any tax payments; |
|
| • | | although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized often will have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; |
|
| • | | while share-based compensation is a component of operating expense, the impact on our financial statements compared to other companies can vary significantly due to such factors as assumed life of the options and assumed volatility of our common stock; and |
|
| • | | other companies may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. |
We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using non-GAAP Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally. Non-GAAP Net Income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated as follows for the periods presented in thousands:
