Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, non-U.S. GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. As used in this press release, EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and Adjusted EBITDA defined as EBITDA excluding the impact of certain non-cash and other specifically identified items. The Company uses these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures and the additional financial information both in explaining its results to shareholders and the investment community and in its internal evaluation and management of its businesses. The Company’s management believes that these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures and the information they provide are useful to investors since these measures (a) permit investors to view the Company’s performance using the same tools that management uses to evaluate the Company’s past performance, reportable business segments and prospects for future performance, (b) permit investors to compare the Company with its peers, (c) determines certain elements of management’s incentive compensation, and (d) provide consistent period-to-period comparisons of the results.

While the Company believes these non-U.S. GAAP measures are useful in evaluating the Company’s performance, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for or superior to the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additionally, these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures may differ from similar measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation of these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures is included later in this press release.
