Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation contains information regarding our adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis is defined as the sum of the adjusted EBITDA for each of the segments, further adjusted for corporate allocations and research and development costs. At a segment level, adjusted EBITDA presented is consistent with the way our chief operating decision maker reviews the results of operations and makes strategic decisions about the business and is calculated as earnings before interest expense, tax, depreciation and amortization adjusted for items such as gains or losses arising from the sale of non-income producing assets, net pension benefits, restructuring costs, impairments, gains and losses on debt extinguishment, costs related to financial consulting, research and development costs and other costs that may not be directly controllable by segment management and are not allocated to the segment. We present consolidated Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is useful to investors to help facilitate comparisons of our ongoing, operating performance before corporate overhead and other expenses not attributable to the operating performance of our revenue generating segments. In this presentation, we also present certain targets for our adjusted EBITDA in the future; these targets are not intended as guidance regarding how we believe the business will perform. We are unable to reconcile these targets to their GAAP counterparts without unreasonable effort and expense due to the aspirational nature of these targets. |
