About Non-GAAP Financial Measures Certain disclosures in this presentation include “non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measures.” “EBITDA” (which we define as net income before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and loss on extinguishment of debt), “Adjusted EBITDA” (which we define as EBITDA, further adjusted for cash and non-cash acquisition-related expenses, gains or losses (which may include third party fees and expenses, integration, restructuring and consolidation expenses), intangible asset impairment charges and related asset write-offs; gains or losses related to changes in the fair value of contingent liabilities from earn-outs; and loss on product recalls, including customer refunds, selling, general and administrative expenses and the impact on cost of sales), “Excess Cash” (which we define as Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest expenses, cash taxes / withholding and capital expenditures plus share based compensation expense) and “Free Cash Flow” (which we define as Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures) are non-GAAP financial measures. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in B&G Foods’ consolidated balance sheets and related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income and cash flows. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures. The Company's non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Additional information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures, including reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, is included elsewhere herein and in B&G Foods’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2014 filed with the SEC on March 4, 2015 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on July 30, 2015.
