We present adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and determining payments under compensation programs. Accordingly, we believe that adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows:
| • | | although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; |
| • | | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and |
| • | | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us. |
In addition, adjusted EBITDA is subject to inherent limitations as it reflects the exercise of judgment by Biote’s management about which expenses are excluded or included. A reconciliation is provided below in the financial statement tables included below in this press release for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP.
Because of these limitations, you should consider adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including net income and our other GAAP results.
