Addendum |
Use of Non-GAAP Measures Matson reports financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company also considers other non-GAAP measures to evaluate performance, make day-to-day operating decisions, help investors understand our ability to incur and service debt and to make capital expenditures, and to understand period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or could, have a disproportional positive or negative impact on results in any particular period. These non-GAAP measures include, but are not limited to, Earnings Before Interest, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”), Free Cash Flow per Share, and Net Debt/EBITDA The Company calculates EBITDA as the sum of net income, less income or loss from discontinued operations, plus income tax expense, interest expense and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (as determined in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of our operating performance, or to cash flows from operating activities (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of liquidity. Our calculation of EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA as calculated by other companies, this calculation of EBITDA is not identical to EBITDA used by our lenders to determine financial covenant compliance. The Company defines ROIC as Net Income less Income or Loss from Discontinued Operations plus tax effected Interest Expense divided by Average Total Debt plus Average Shareholders’ Equity. Our calculation of ROIC may not be comparable to ROIC as calculated by other companies. |
