13
Quarterly earnings summary: Q3 2014
A
limitation
of
non-GAAP
Adjusted
EBITDA
is
that
it
excludes
items
that
often
have
a
material
effect on the company’s net income (loss) and earnings per common share calculated in
accordance
with
GAAP.
Therefore,
management
compensates
for
this
limitation
by
using
Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share
measures. The company believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with an additional
tool for evaluating the company’s core performance, which management uses in its own
evaluation of overall performance, and as a base-line for assessing the future earnings potential
of the company.
A limitation of using free cash flow versus the GAAP measure of net cash provided by operating
activities as a means for evaluating the company is that free cash flow does not represent the
total increase or decrease in the cash balance from operations for the period because it
excludes cash used for capital expenditures during the period. The company believes that free
cash flow provides investors with an additional tool in evaluating the company’s liquidity.
While
the
GAAP
results
are
more
complete,
the
company
prefers
to
allow
investors
to
have
this
supplemental metric since, with reconciliation to GAAP, it may provide greater insight into the
company’s financial results. The non-GAAP measures should be viewed as a supplement to,
and not as a substitute for, or superior to the GAAP measures.
This
press
release
includes
the
non-GAAP
financial
measures
of
“Adjusted
EBITDA”
and
“free
cash flow.”
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) excluding: provision for income
taxes; interest and other income (expense), net; depreciation; amortization; stock based
compensation
charges;
gain
or
loss
on
derivatives’
revaluation;
net
income
(loss)
from
discontinued operations; accrued lease liability/asset; and severance charges. Adjusted
EBITDA is reconciled to net income (loss) which we believe is the most comparable GAAP
measure. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital
expenditures. Free cash flow is reconciled to net cash provided by operating activities which
we believe is the most comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow, as
defined
above,
are
not
measurements
under
GAAP.
A
reconciliation
of
net
income
(loss)
to
Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities is set forth at
the end of this press release.
Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors about
the company’s performance because it eliminates the effects of period-to-period changes in
income from interest on the company’s cash, expense from the company’s financing
transactions and the costs associated with income tax expense, capital investments, stock-
based compensation expense, net income (loss) from discontinued operations, derivatives’
revaluation charges; accrued lease liability/asset; settlement accrual; and severance charges
which are not directly attributable to the underlying performance of the company’s business
operations. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating the overall performance of the
company’s business operations.
Management also believes free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful
information
to
management
and
investors
about
the
amount
of
cash
generated
by
the
business that, after the acquisition of property and equipment, including information
technology infrastructure and land and buildings, can be used for strategic opportunities,
including investing in our business, making strategic acquisitions, and strengthening the
balance sheet. Analysis of free cash flow also facilitates management's comparisons of our
operating results to competitors' operating results.
