Non-GAAP Financial Measures

“Adjusted EBITDA” is a non-GAAP financial measure that NRP defines as net income (loss) from continuing operations less equity earnings from unconsolidated investment, gain on reserve swaps and income to non-controlling interest; plus distributions from equity earnings in unconsolidated investment, interest expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization and asset impairments.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or loss, net income or loss attributable to partners, operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance, liquidity or ability to service debt obligations. There are significant limitations to using Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of performance, including the inability to analyze the effect of certain recurring items that materially affect NRP’s net income (loss), the lack of comparability of results of operations of different companies and the different methods of calculating Adjusted EBITDA reported by different companies. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental performance measure used by NRP’s management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others to assess the financial performance of NRP’s assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis.

“Distributable Cash Flow” is a non-GAAP financial measure that NRP defines as net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations, plus returns of unconsolidated equity investments, proceeds from sales of assets, including those included in discontinued operations, and returns of long-term contract receivables-affiliate; less maintenance capital expenditures and distributions to non-controlling interest. DCF is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities. DCF may not be calculated the same for NRP as for other companies. DCF is a supplemental liquidity measure used by NRP’s management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others to assess NRP's ability to make cash distributions to its unitholders and its general partner and repay debt.

“Unlevered Free Cash Flow” is a non-GAAP financial measure that NRP defines as net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations, plus returns of unconsolidated equity investments, proceeds from sales of assets, including those included in discontinued operations, cash paid for interest and returns of long-term contract receivables-affiliate; less capital expenditures and distributions to non-controlling interest. Unlevered Free Cash Flow is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities. Unlevered Free Cash Flow may not be calculated the same for NRP as for other companies. Unlevered Free Cash Flow is a supplemental liquidity measure used by NRP’s management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others to assess NRP's ability to make cash distributions to its unitholders and its general partner and repay debt.
