The Company defines earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") as | ||||
net income (loss), plus income tax (benefit) expense, interest (income) expense, and depreciation and | ||||
amortization. Other companies may define EBITDA differently. EBITDA is presented because it is a financial | ||||
measure that is frequently requested by third parties. However, EBITDA is not considered under generally | ||||
accepted accounting principles as a primary measure of an entity's financial results, and accordingly, | ||||
EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to operating income (loss), net income (loss), or | ||||
cash flows as determined under generally accepted accounting principles and as reported by the Company. |
