EBITDA & Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited) 1 EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that management uses to evaluate the cash generating capacity of the company. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net earnings. EBITDA is net earnings adjusted for net interest expense (including debt retirement costs), income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. It should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings computed under GAAP. 2 Interest expense, net for first quarter 2013 includes debt retirement costs of $17.1 million. 3 Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of the items listed that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.
