TPB Summary Historical Consolidated Financial and Other Data 24 (1) EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, provision for income taxes, depreci ation and amortization (2) Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA adjusted for non - cash expense related to an inventory valuation allowance for last - i n, first - out (‘‘LIFO’’) reporting, pension/post - retirement expense, non - cash stock option, restricted stock and incentives expen se, foreign exchange hedging and other items (3) Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Net sales (4) Net debt is defined as Total debt less cash (5) Leverage is defined as Net debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA. As disclosed by TPB in its public filings, management believes th at its leverage ratio is an important indicator of its ability to service indebtedness and is indicative of its compliance with the leverage covenants in its Credit Facility (6) To supplement TPB’s financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United St ates, or U.S. GAAP, TPB uses non - U.S. GAAP financial measures including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We believe Adjusted EBITDA p rovides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to TPB’s financial condition and results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA is used by TPB management to compare TPB’s performance to that of prior periods for trend analyse s and planning purposes and is presented to TPB’s Board of Directors. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are appropriate measures of operating perfo rma nce because they eliminate the impact of expenses that do not relate to business performance 9 Months Ended
