Appendix

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
31
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), plus interest expense net of interest income, income tax provision (benefit),
depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for the items of income and expense and
expected incremental revenue and cost savings as described in the company's senior secured credit agreement
covenant calculations. Free cash flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest expense on corporate debt
(Credit Facility), capital expenditures and cash taxes related to the calendar year. Management believes that the
inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide
additional information to investors about one of the principal measures of performance used by the company’s creditors.
In addition, management uses EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow to evaluate the company’s performance.
Depreciation expense for property and equipment and amortization expense of capitalized internally developed
software costs relate to ongoing capital expenditures; however, amortization expense associated with acquired
intangible assets, such as customer relationships, software, tradenames and noncompete agreements are not
representative of ongoing capital expenditures, but have a continuing effect on our reported results. Non-GAAP
financial measures of operating adjusted net income and operating adjusted net income per share, in the opinion of the
company, provide comparability to other companies that may not have incurred these types of non-cash expenses or
that report a similar measure. In addition, net income and net income per share have been adjusted for certain other
charges, as seen in the following reconciliation.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, operating adjusted net income and operating adjusted net income per share
have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the
results as reported under GAAP. These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other
companies.
