34 2 Non - GAAP Measure Disclosure We use earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income, which are non - GAAP measures, as supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP. None of the non - GAAP measures should be considered as an alternative to any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. We use EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income as an integral part of our report and planning processes and as one of the primary measures to, among other things: our ability to integrate the acquired businesses into our existing businesses; • monitor and evaluate the performance of our business operations; • facilitate management’s internal comparisons of the historical operating performance of our business operations; • facilitate management’s external comparisons of the results of our overall business to the historical operating performance o f o ther companies that may have different capital structures and debt levels; • analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future operating investments; • provide useful information to investors regarding financial and business trends related to our results of operations; and • plan for and prepare future annual operating budgets and determine appropriate levels of operating investments. We define EBITDA as earnings before non - controlling interest, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define adjusted EBITDA as earnings before non - controlling interest, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude equity - based compensation, acquisition - related ex penses, amortization of capitalized advisor costs and other items. We define adjusted net income as net income attributable to the Company (using a 40% tax rate to illustrate the tax impact for comparative purposes) and adjusted to exclude acquisition related expenses and equity - based compensation and other items . We believe similarly titled measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry, many of which present EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and other similar metrics when reporting their financial results. Our presentation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income should not be construed to imply that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. The non - GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider any of these measures in isolation or as a s ubstitute for analyses of our income or cash flows as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: • they 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 significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments , o n our debt; and • depreciation and amortization are non - cash expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness a s a comparative measure. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using the non - GAAP measures only for supplemental purposes. Please see our financial statements and the related notes thereto.
