Item 2.02. | Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
Following the offering of our 4.625% senior notes due 2023 (the "Senior Notes") in April 2013, we are currently required to disclose annually the following non-guarantor subsidiary financial information pursuant to section 4.2(d) of the indenture governing the Senior Notes:
As of December 31, 2014, our non-guarantor subsidiaries collectively had (1) liabilities (excluding intercompany liabilities) of $374.4 million (12.3% of our consolidated total liabilities), of which $296.6 million were deferred revenues, (2) assets (excluding intercompany assets) of $975.6 million (45.3% of our consolidated total assets), of which $939.2 million were cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities primarily held by foreign subsidiaries and (3) assets (excluding cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, and intercompany assets) of $36.4 million (5.0% of our consolidated total assets, excluding cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities).
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, our non-guarantor subsidiaries collectively had Adjusted EBITDA of $217.7 million (32.3% of our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA), which includes intercompany transactions with the Company. Such intercompany transactions represent the majority of our non-guarantor subsidiaries’ aggregate expenses. Intercompany transactions and allocations of revenues and costs between the parent and the non-guarantor subsidiaries can vary significantly. Therefore, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of Adjusted EBITDA of our non-guarantor subsidiaries may not necessarily be meaningful.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the Senior Notes. Adjusted EBITDA refers to net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, unrealized loss (gain) on contingent interest derivative on the Subordinated Convertible Debentures and unrealized loss (gain) on hedging agreements.
Management believes that this non-GAAP financial data supplements our GAAP financial data by providing investors with additional information that allows them to have a clearer picture of the Company’s operations. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the non-GAAP information enhances the investors’ overall understanding of our financial performance and the comparability of the Company’s operating results from period to period. Set forth below is a reconciliation of consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
