Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP,
results provided throughout this document, M*Modal has provided certain non-
GAAP financial measures to help evaluate the results of our performance. The
Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when presented in
conjunction with comparable GAAP financial measures, are useful to both management
and investors in analyzing the Company's ongoing business and operating
performance. The Company believes that providing the non-GAAP information to
investors, in addition to the GAAP presentation, allows investors to view the
Company's financial results in the way that management views financial results. The
tables attached to this press release include a reconciliation of these historical
non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial
measures. We also present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income on a
forward-looking basis as part of our performance goals for fiscal 2012 and a reconciliation of
these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measures. These measures are subject to change because management
cannot predict, with sufficient reliability, potential changes in tax valuation
allowances, potential restructuring impacts, contingencies related to past and future
acquisitions, and changes in fair values of our derivative instruments, all of
which are difficult to estimate primarily due to dependencies on future events.
Adjusted Net Income
Adjusted Net Income, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined by the Company as
Adjusted EBITDA less amortization expense for capitalized intangible assets
(excluding acquired intangibles), less interest expense (net of non-cash
interest), and less current tax provision. We measure Adjusted Net Income based on
Proforma Shares Outstanding (see below). Management believes that utilization of
Adjusted Net Income is an important non-GAAP financial measure of our
normalized operating results.
Proforma Shares Outstanding
For purposes of evaluating our results on per-share metrics, many of our
computations utilize proforma share computations. Our measure of proforma shares
includes our Basic and Diluted share computations utilized for GAAP purposes, plus
our estimate of the impacts of common stock equivalents which consist of
stock options, restrictive stock issuable to certain key employees, shares issued
to former principal stockholders, shares issued to former principal stockholders
and shares issued in our initial public offering, our private exchange offer, our
public exchange offer and our short-form merger with MModal MQ Inc. (f/k/a
MedQuist Inc.).
Free Cash Flow
Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined by the Company as
Adjusted EBITDA less consolidated interest expense (net of non-cash interest),
less capital expenditures (including capitalized software development costs), and
less current tax provision (net of deferred tax provision). Management believes
that utilization of Free Cash Flow is an important non-GAAP measure of the
Company's ability to convert operating results into cash. Total Billed

Non-GAAP Financial
Definitions Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used by management to measure operating
performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to
MModal Inc., as applicable, plus net income attributable to
noncontrolling interests, income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and
amortization, cost (benefit) of legal proceedings, settlements, and
accommodations, acquisition and restructuring charges, discontinued operations,
equity in income of affiliated company, share-based compensation
and other non-cash awards, realized gain on settlement of foreign currency
hedges, excluding other (income) expense. The realized gain on
settlement of foreign currency hedges is a component of other (income) expense,
as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Share-based compensation and other non-cash awards represents only the portion of
such expense that is a component of selling, general and administrative
expense, as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, as it
excludes such expense attributable to the Company's restructuring
actions. We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure
because we believe it facilitates operating performance comparisons from
period to period and company to company by backing out the following: potential differences
caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expense, net), tax positions (such as the impact on periods or
companies for changes in effective tax rates), the age and book
depreciation of fixed assets (affecting depreciation expense);
the impact of non-cash charges;
and the impact of
acquisition and integration related charges, restructuring charges, and certain unusual or nonrecurring items.
Because Adjusted EBITDA facilitates internal comparisons of operating
performance on a more consistent basis, we also use Adjusted EBITDA
in measuring our performance relative to that of our competitors.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under
GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income,
operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance
with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities
as measures of our profitability or liquidity. We understand that although
Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, lenders and
others in their evaluation of companies, 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:
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or
future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash
requirements for, our working capital needs;
Although depreciation is a non-cash charge, the assets
being depreciated will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA
does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and Other companies in our
industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
