(1) Adjusted Revenues, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP financial measures calculated as presented in the tables above. The RMR Group Inc. considers Adjusted Revenues, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to be appropriate measures of its operating performance, along with net income, net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc., operating income and cash flow from operating activities. The RMR Group Inc. believes that Adjusted Revenues, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as income tax and depreciation expenses, incentive business management fees, other asset amortization, transaction and acquisition related costs, certain separation expenses and unrealized gains attributable to changes in fair value of stock accounted for under the fair value option, Adjusted Revenues, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may facilitate a comparison of current operating performance with RMR’s historical operating performance and with the performance of other asset management businesses. Adjusted Revenues, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to total revenues, net income, net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc., operating income or cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, or as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity, nor are these measures necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of The RMR Group Inc.’s needs. These measures should be considered in conjunction with total revenues, net income, net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc., operating income and cash flow from operating activities as presented in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income and consolidated statements of cash flows. Also, other asset management businesses may calculate Adjusted Revenues, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin differently than The RMR Group Inc. does.
