(referred to herein as “we”, “us,” and “our”) distributed the slide show, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference, in conjunction with its presentation at the J. P.

Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The investor presentation attached as an exhibit hereto contains certain references to adjusted EBITDA value, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as defined under Regulation G of the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Adjusted EBITDA
Management uses adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental financial measurement to evaluate our operational trends. Items excluded generally represent non-cash adjustments, the timing and amount of which cannot be reasonably estimated and are not considered by management when measuring our overall operating performance. In addition, adjusted EBITDA is generally consistent with the Consolidated EBITDAX calculation that is used in the covenant ratio required under our senior secured revolving credit facility as described in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. We consider compliance with this covenant to be material. The calculation of Consolidated EBITDAX includes pro forma adjustments for property acquisitions and dispositions, and as a result of these adjustments, our Consolidated EBITDAX as calculated for covenant compliance purposes is higher than our adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2013 and lower for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measurement in the evaluation of our business and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as an indicator of our operating performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, or as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under GAAP and, accordingly, it may not be a comparable measurement to those used by other companies.
We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude (1) interest and other financing costs, net of capitalized interest, (2) income taxes, (3) depreciation, depletion and amortization, (4) unrealized (gain) loss on ineffective portion of hedge reclassification adjustments, (5) non-cash change in fair value of non-hedge derivative instruments, (6) interest income, (7) stock-based compensation expense, (8) gain or loss on disposed assets, and (9) impairment charges and other significant, unusual non-cash charges.
The following table provides a reconciliation of our net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA for the specified periods:

________________
(1) Through March 31, 2010, our calculation of adjusted EBITDA excluded any cash proceeds received from the monetization of derivatives with a scheduled maturity date more than 12 months following the date of such monetization.
We expect year-end 2014 adjusted EBITDA to be between $453 and $458 million. We have not reconciled our expected range of year-end 2014 adjusted EBITDA to net income because we have not finalized our calculations of several factors necessary to provide the reconciliation, including net income, interest expense, and income tax expense. In addition, certain items that impact net income and other reconciling metrics are out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted at this time. Accordingly, a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income at this time is not available without unreasonable effort.
