ITEM 2.02
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL RESULTS
On March 3, 2016, U.S. Physical Therapy, Inc. (the "Company") reported its results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2015 and will hold a conference call with investors at 9:30 Central Time on March 3. During the conference call, Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the three months and year ended December 31, 2015 will be discussed.
The following table reconciles adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), to Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes providing Adjusted EBITDA to investors is useful information for comparing the Company's period-to-period results.  Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and equity compensation expense.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Items used to compute Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for, net income attributable to common shareholders or net income including noncontrolling interests data presented in the consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial performance. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP, and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, this measurement may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
