Information Related to Financial Measures
3
We have included EBITDA in this presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, as we believe that
EBITDA is a measure commonly used by investors. However, EBITDA, as presented herein, may not be
comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies due to differences in the way the
measure is calculated. For purposes of this presentation, EBITDA means earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, as adjusted for other items management does not believe are indicative
of the Company’s underlying results of operations such as impairment charges, reorganization items, the
effect of mark-to-market accounting on our warrants. EBITDA also includes dividends from joint venture
EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to profit or operating profit for any period as an indicator
of our performance, or as an alternative to operating cash flows as a measure of our liquidity.  See Table
9 of our accompanying earnings release for reconciliations of EBITDA to net income.
While we also believe that net debt is a measure commonly used by investors, net debt, as presented
herein, may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies due to
differences in the way the measure is calculated. For purposes of this presentation, net debt means
short-term debt plus current maturities of long-term debt plus long-term debt minus cash and cash
equivalents and minus restricted cash.
