(1) EBITDA consists of earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a measure commonly used in our industry and management presents EBITDA to enhance your understanding of our operating performance. Management uses EBITDA as one criterion for evaluating our performance relative to that of our peers. Management believes that EBITDA is an operating performance measure, and not a liquidity measure, that provides investors and analysts with a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, capital investment cycles and ages of related assets among otherwise comparable companies.
(2)Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude non-cash and other nonrecurring adjustments and include certain proforma cost savings adjustments. However, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under US GAAP, and the above EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. You should not consider the above EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as an alternative to operating or net income determined in accordance with US GAAP, as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with US GAAP, or as an indicator of cash flows, or as a measure of liquidity.
The following table reconciles the ranges of Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA to net income, the most comparable GAAP measure:
