Reconciliation of Non-GAAP to GAAP Financial Measures 25 NOTE: No estimates of GAAP net income have been made for the year 2010. 2007 figures represent combine operations of Grubb & Ellis Company and NNN Realty Advisors. (1) EBITDA represents earnings before net interest expense, interest income, realized gains or losses on sales of marketable securities, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, discontinued operations and impairments related to goodwill and intangible assets. Management believes EBITDA is useful in evaluating our performance compared to that of other companies in our industry because the calculation of EBITDA generally eliminates the effects of financing and income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending and acquisition, which items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. As a result, management uses EBITDA as an operating measure to evaluate the operating performance of the Company's various business lines and for other discretionary purposes, including as a significant component when measuring performance under employee incentive programs. However, EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and when analyzing the Company's operating performance, readers should use EBITDA in addition to, and not as an alternative for, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Furthermore, EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management's discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as tax and debt service payments. The amounts shown for EBITDA also differ from the amounts calculated under similarly titled definitions in the Company's debt instruments, which are further adjusted to reflect certain other cash and non-cash charges and are used to determine compliance with financial covenants and the Company's ability to engage in certain activities, such as incurring additional debt and making certain restricted payments. (2) As a result of the merger between GBE and NNNRA in December of 2007, full year figures for 2007 are shown as combined companies .
