Annual Reconciliation

In Thousands, unaudited


EBITDA
represents
net
earnings
(loss)
before
income
tax
expense,
interest
expense
(income),
net
of
depreciation
of
property,
plant
and
equipment.
The
Company
believes
EBITDA
is
useful
to
investors
in
evaluating
ARI’s
operating
performance
compared
to
that
of
other
companies
in
the
same
industry.
In
addition,
ARI’s
management
uses
EBITDA
to
evaluate
operating
performance.
The
calculation
of
EBITDA
eliminates
the
effects
of
financing,
income
taxes
and
the
accounting
effects
of
capital
spending.
These
items
may
vary
for
different
companies
for
reasons
unrelated
to
the
overall
operating
performance
of
a
company’s
business.
EBITDA
is
not
a
financial
measure
presented
in
accordance
with
U.S.
generally
accepted
accounting
principles
(U.S.
GAAP).
Accordingly,
when
analyzing
the
Company’s
operating
performance,
investors
should
not
consider
EBITDA
in
isolation
or
as
a
substitute
for
net
earnings
(loss),
cash
flows
from
operating
activities
or
other
statements
of
operations
or
statements
of
cash
flow
data
prepared
in
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP.
Our
calculation
of
EBITDA
is
not
necessarily
comparable
to
that
of
other
similarly
titled
measures
reported
by
other
companies.
Adjusted
EBITDA
represents
EBITDA
before
share
based
compensation
expense
(income)
related
to
stock
appreciation
rights
(SARs),
and
before
gains
or
losses
on
investments
and
derivative
instruments.
We
believe
that
Adjusted
EBITDA
is
useful
to
investors
evaluating
our
operating
performance,
and
management
also
uses
Adjusted
EBITDA
for
that
purpose.
Our
SARs
(which
settle
in
cash)
are
revalued
each
quarter
based
upon
changes
in
our
stock
price.
Management
believes
that
eliminating
the
expense
(income)
associated
with
our
stock
based
compensation,
investments
and
derivates
allows
us
and
our
investors
to
understand
better
our
operating
results
independent
of
financial
changes
caused
by
the
fluctuating
price
and
value
of
our
common
stock,
investments
and
derivative
instruments.
Adjusted
EBITDA
is
not
a
financial
measure
presented
in
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP.
Accordingly,
when
analyzing
our
operating
performance,
investors
should
not
consider
Adjusted
EBITDA
in
isolation
or
as
a
substitute
for
net
earnings
(loss),
cash
flows
from
operating
activities
or
other
statements
of
operations
or
statements
of
cash
flow
data
prepared
in
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP.
Our
calculation
of
Adjusted
EBITDA
is
not
necessarily
comparable
to
that
of
other
similarly
titled
measures
reported
by other companies.
