Because forward - looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely on these forward - looking statements as guarantees of future events . Further information on the factors, risks and uncertainties that could affect our financial results and the forward - looking statements in this presentation are included in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and will be included in subsequent periodic and current reports we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including in our Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31 , 2016 . The forward - looking statements in this presentation represent our views as of the date of this presentation . We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change .

We define net debt as the total principal amount of debt outstanding less unrestricted cash and equivalents . We define free cash flow as net cash flow generated from operating activities less capital expenditures . We present non - GAAP measures when we believe that the additional information is useful and meaningful to investors . Non - GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies . The presentation of non - GAAP financial measures is not intended to be a substitute for, and should not be considered in isolation from, the financial measures reported in accordance with GAAP . See the appendix for the reconciliations of certain non - GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures .
