These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP . Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Reconciliation Management of the Company uses adjusted net income (loss) to evaluate the Company’s operating performance, and for planning a nd forecasting future business operations. The Company believes the use of adjusted net income (loss) allows investors and analysts to understand t he results relating to receipt of revenue from its royalty interests and purchase and sale of gold from its streaming interests by excluding certain items that ha ve a disproportionate impact on our results for a particular period. The net income (loss) adjustments are presented net of tax generally at the Company’ s s tatutory effective tax rate. Management’s determination of the components of adjusted net income (loss) are evaluated periodically and based, in part, on a r eview of non - GAAP financial measures used by mining industry analysts.
