Safe Harbor, Non-GAAP Reconciliations
Except for historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this presentation contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties.
There
are
a
number
of
important
factors
that
could
cause
Air
Transport
Services
Group's
("ATSG's")
actual
results
to
differ
materially
from
those indicated by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in market demand for our assets and services,
the timely completion of 767 freighter modifications as anticipated under ABX Air’s new operating agreement with DHL, ABX Air’s ability to maintain on-
time
service
and
control
costs
under
its
new
operating
agreement
with
DHL,
and
other
factors
that
are
contained
from
time
to
time
in
ATSG's
filings
with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Readers should carefully
review this presentation and should not place undue reliance on ATSG's forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements were based on
information,
plans
and
estimates
as
of
the
date
of
this
release.
ATSG
undertakes
no
obligation
to
update
any
forward-looking
statements
to
reflect
changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, future events or other changes.
ATSG, Inc. Non-GAAP Reconciliation
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt are
non-GAAP financial measures and should not
be considered alternatives to net income
(loss) or any other performance measure
derived in accordance with GAAP.
EBITDA
is
defined
as
income
(loss)
from
operations plus net interest expense,
provision for income taxes, depreciation and
amortization.
Net Debt
is defined as Long-term debt
obligations plus Current portion of debt
obligations minus Cash and cash equivalents.
The Company’s management uses these
adjusted financial measures in conjunction
with GAAP finance measures to monitor and
evaluate its performance, including as a
measure of liquidity.  EBITDA, Adjusted
EBITDA and Net Debt should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for
analysis of the Company’s results as reported
under GAAP, or as alternative measures of
liquidity.
