| Note: | EBITDA represents net income before interest and other expense on debt, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA gives further effect to, among other things, gain on the sale of assets, reorganization expenses and the payment of management fees. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide additional information for measuring our performance and are measures frequently used by securities analysts and investors. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent, and should not be used as a substitute for, net income or cash flows from operations as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA is necessarily an indication of whether cash flow will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements. Our definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may differ from that of other companies. Above is the reconciliation of net income to EBITDA, as further adjusted to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, excluding LIFO expense (income). |
