RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES TO GAAP In addition to measuring our cash flow generation and usage based upon the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows, we also measure our free cash flow. We define free cash flow as cash flow from operating, investing activities, payment of dividends, exercise of stock option and issuance of restricted awards, and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash less changes in accounts receivable securitization, limited recourse debt from finance receivable monetizations and off-balance sheet debt. Our measure of free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures being disclosed by other companies and is not a measure of financial performance that is in accordance with GAAP. We utilize free cash flow to explain the change in our net debt position from the prior period.

(more) JLG Industries, Inc. - page 8 We also monitor our net debt and our EBITDA, which are two other non-GAAP measures that provide additional information concerning our leverage position and our historical ability to meet debt service and capital expenditure and working capital requirements. EBITDA also is an indicator of profitability, particularly in our capital-intensive industry. We define net debt as the sum of total debt and other off-balance sheet financing, minus cash and limited recourse debt arising from our monetization of customer finance receivables. During the quarter, we reduced our net debt by $61 million primarily by cash generated through Access Financial Solutions ("AFS") portfolio monetizations. EBITDA reflects our earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA as presented below differs (i) from previously disclosed presentations which excluded restructuring or repositioning charges, and (ii) from measures of EBITDA calculated for purposes of financial covenants in our note indentures and senior credit facilities. The components of net debt and EBITDA are included in the following tables.
