Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation from Net Income

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation from Cash Flow from Operations

(3) Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, represents net income before income taxes, interest, other non-operating gains and losses, special charges, depreciation and amortization expenses. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information for determining its ability to meet future debt service requirements, investing and capital expenditures, and is useful because it provides supplemental information to assist investors in evaluating the Company’s financial condition.

Free Cash Flow Reconciliation

Forecasted Free Cash Flow

(4) Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, represents net cash provided by operating activities, plus cash received from the sale of trademarks and formation of joint ventures, less distributions to non-controlling interests and capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow excludes notes receivable from sale of trademarks and the formation of joint ventures, cash used to acquire the membership interests of our joint venture partners, mandatory debt service requirements, and other non-discretionary expenditures. Free Cash Flow should not be considered in isolation, as a measure of residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes, or as an alternative to operating results presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes Free Cash Flow is useful because it provides information regarding actual cash received in a specific period from the Company’s comprehensive business strategy of maximizing the value of its brands through traditional licensing, international joint ventures and other arrangements. We have excluded the cash used to buy back our joint venture membership interests from the above definition because we believe that, like other acquisitions, such actions are capital transactions. It also provides supplemental information to assist investors in evaluating the Company’s financial condition and ability to pursue opportunities that enhance shareholder value.
