EBITDA Reconciliation Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation. Adjusted EBITDA is defined by UHS as Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), before management, board and strategic fees, stock option expense, ASC 805 impact, loss on extinguishment of debt, transaction and related costs and other. In addition to using Adjusted EBITDA internally as a measure of operational performance, we disclose Adjusted EBITDA externally to assist analysts, investors and lenders in their comparisons of operational performance, valuation and debt capacity across companies with differing capital, tax and legal structures. Management also understands that some industry analysts and investors consider Adjusted EBITDA as a supplementary non-GAAP financial measure useful in analyzing a company’s ability to service debt. Adjusted EBITDA, however, is not a measure of financial performance under Generally Accepted Accounting Principals (“GAAP”) and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities or as a measure of liquidity. Since Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying interpretations and calculations, Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent an amount of funds that is available for management’s discretionary use. A reconciliation of operating cash flows to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is included below. $ in Millions 3rd Quarter September YTD LTM Q3 2010 2011 2010 2011 2011 Net Cash provided by Operating Activities $26.5 $25.0 $68.7 $56.1 $63.6 Changes in Operating Assets and Liabilities (11.1) (11.9) (16.3) (10.8) 3.4 Other and Non-Cash Expenses (5.5) 4.2 (3.9) 11.2 3.6 Income Tax Expense 1.7 (0.3) (2.2) (7.5) (3.6) Interest Expense 11.7 15.1 35.0 39.5 51.0 EBITDA 23.3 32.1 81.3 88.5 118.0 Management, Board & Strategic Fees 0.5 1.7 1.9 5.7 6.2 Stock Option Expense 4.4 1.1 5.1 3.3 5.5 ASC 805 Impact 0.1 - 0.7 1.1 1.4 Adjusted EBITDA 28.3 34.9 89.0 98.6 131.1 Emergent LTM Proforma EBITDA 6 mos  4.3 Rental Equipment Acquisition LTM Proforma EBITDA 8 mos  1.1 Proforma Adjusted EBITDA $136.5  16
