for sales discounts and the deduction of income attributable to non-controlling interests in our Indiana Harbor cokemaking operations. 
EBITDA reflects sales discounts included as a reduction in sales and other operating revenue. The sales discounts represent the
sharing with our customers of a portion of nonconventional fuels tax credits, which reduce our income tax expense. However, we
believe that our Adjusted EBITDA would be inappropriately penalized if these discounts were treated as a reduction of EBITDA since
they represent sharing of a tax benefit which is not included in EBITDA. Accordingly, in computing Adjusted EBITDA, we have added
back these sales discounts. Our Adjusted EBITDA also reflects the deduction of income attributable to noncontrolling interest in our
Indiana Harbor cokemaking operations. EBITDA and  Adjusted EBITDA do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to
net income or operating income under United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and may not be comparable to
other similarly titled measures of other businesses. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of the operating
performance of the Company’s assets and is indicative of the Company’s ability to generate cash from operations.
Interests. Management believes Free Cash Flow information enhances an investor’s understanding of a business’ ability to generate
cash.  Free Cash Flow does not represent and should not be considered an alternative to net income or cash flows from operating
activities as determined under GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other businesses.
attributable to non-controlling interests divided by average invested capital (stockholders’ equity plus total debt net of cash and cash
equivalents).  We use Pretax ROIC as one measure of how effectively we deploy capital and make multi-year investment decisions.  It
is also used as a long-term performance measure under certain of our incentive compensation plans.  Pretax ROIC is not a measure of
financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles, and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures
used by other companies. Pretax ROIC should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net earnings as an indicator of
performance.  We define segment level Pretax ROIC as Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation expense plus net income attributable to
non-controlling interests divided by average allocated invested  capital.  Average allocated invested capital  for each respective
segment is calculated pro-rata based on the segment level identifiable assets for the period as disclosed in our public filings.
