Non-GAAP Financial Measure This document contains the non-GAAP financial measure “Adjusted EBITDA.” Management believes this measure provides useful information for analyzing the underlying business results. This measure is not in accordance with, nor is it a substitute for or superior to, the comparable financial measure by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). A reconciliation to the comparable non-GAAP financial measure is included in this document. Adjusted EBITDA refers to net income (loss), before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, other income (expense), and income (loss) from equity method investees, further adjusted by asset impairment and disposals, net of insurance recoveries, farming costs for nonproductive orchards (which represents land lease costs), noncapitalizable ERP implementation costs, transaction costs, and any special, non-recurring, or one-time items such as impairments that are excluded from the results the CEO reviews uses to assess segment performance and results.
