16 Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation In addition to our net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP, we evaluate operating performance using Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as our consolidated net income (loss), plus the sum of interest expense, net of interest income, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, amortization, other operating expenses, net (which primarily consists of pension mark to market adjustments, acquisition and integration related expenses, employee stock-based compensation expense, redundancy and restructuring costs, advisory fees paid to stockholders, and other unusual or non-recurring expenses), impairment charges, loss on extinguishment of debt and other income (expense), net (which consists of gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and undesignated derivative instruments, ineffective portion of cash flow hedges, debt refinancing costs and other nonoperating activity). We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an important indicator of operating performance because we report Adjusted EBITDA to our lenders as required under the covenants of our credit agreements. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the effects of income taxes, as well as the effects of financing and investing activities by eliminating the effects of interest, depreciation and amortization expenses. We consider gains (losses) on the acquisition, disposal and impairment of assets as resulting from investing decisions rather than ongoing operations; and other significant items, while periodically affecting our results, may vary significantly from period to period and have a disproportionate effect in a given period, which affects comparability of our results. We also present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure because we believe that this measure provides investors and securities analysts with important supplemental information with which to evaluate our performance and to enable them to assess our performance on the same basis as management. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or other performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operations as a measure of our liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent net income (loss) or cash flow from operations as those terms are defined by GAAP and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. Adjusted EBITDA as used herein should not be confused with “Compensation Adjusted EBITDA” used for calculating incentive compensation under our benefit plans as described in the “Executive Compensation” section, found in the Registration Statement filed with the SEC. We caution readers that amounts presented in accordance with our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, because of differing methods used by other companies in calculating Adjusted EBITDA. For a complete discussion of the method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA and its usefulness, refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Key Business Metrics—Adjusted EBITDA,” included in the Registration Statement filed with the SEC. The following is a quantitative reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measure, which is net income (loss): Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2014 December 31, 2013 December 31, 2012 Net income (loss) ($20.1) ($82.3) ($197.4) Income tax expense (benefit) (15.8) (9.8) 75.6 Interest expense, net 250.6 294.5 268.1 Loss on extinguishment of debt 1.2 2.5 0.5 Amortization 96.0 100.0 93.3 Depreciation 133.5 128.1 111.7 EBITDA $445.4 $433.0 $351.8 Impairment charges 0.3 135.6 75.8 Other operating expenses, net 197.1 12.0 177.7 Other (income) expense, net (1.1) 17.6 1.9 Adjusted EBITDA $641.7 $598.2 $607.2 Adjusted EBITDA Description |
