These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, projections, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are not statements of historical facts. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect on us and do not include the impact of future acquisitions. While management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we anticipate. Our forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this presentation. Investors are cautioned not to rely unduly upon these forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, general economic and business conditions, which will, among other things, affect demand for new residential and commercial construction; our ability to successfully identify, manage, and integrate acquisitions; the cyclical nature of, and changes in, the real estate and construction markets, including pricing changes by our competitors; governmental requirements and initiatives, including those related to mortgage lending or mortgage financing, funding for public or infrastructure construction, land usage, and environmental, health, and safety matters; disruptions, uncertainties or volatility in the credit markets that may limit our, our suppliers' and our customers' access to capital; our ability to successfully implement our operating strategy; weather conditions; our substantial indebtedness and the restrictions imposed on us by the terms of our indebtedness; our ability to maintain favorable relationships with third parties who supply us with equipment and essential supplies; our ability to retain key personnel and maintain satisfactory labor relations; and product liability, property damage, and other claims and insurance coverage issues. For additional information regarding known material factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our projected results, please see “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All written and oral forward-looking statements in this presentation are expressly qualified by these “Risk Factors.”

However, our management believes that certain non-GAAP performance measures and ratios, which our management uses in managing our business, may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. See the table above for presentations of our adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin for the years 2014 and 2015. We define adjusted EBITDA as our net income (loss) from continuing operations plus the provision (benefit) for income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization, reorganization costs, noncash impairments, derivative (gain) loss, gain or loss on revaluation of contingent consideration, acquisition-related professional fees, officer severance, expenses related to the relocation of our corporate headquarters, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt and non-cash stock compensation expense. We define adjusted EBITDA margin as the amount determined by dividing adjusted EBITDA by total revenue. We have included adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin in the accompanying tables because they are often used by investors for valuation and for comparing our financial performance with the performance of other building material companies. We also use adjusted EBITDA to monitor and compare the financial performance of our operations. Adjusted EBITDA does not give effect to the cash we must use to service our debt or pay our income taxes and thus does not reflect the funds actually available for capital expenditures. In addition, our presentation of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures other companies report. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported operating results or cash flow from operations or any other measure of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. ¹ Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations, plus income tax provision (benefit), net interest expense, derivative loss related to our Convertible Notes and Warrants, depreciation, depletion and amortization, loss on early extinguishment of debt, expenses related to our corporate headquarters relocation, officer severance, and non-cash stock compensation expense.
