In connection with the restatement of its consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 and the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010 (the “Restatement”), Sensus (Bermuda 2) Ltd. and Sensus USA Inc. (collectively, the “Company”) are scheduled to hold an earnings conference call with analysts on December 21, 2010 at approximately 11:00 a.m. (EST) to discuss the financial results of the Company for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010. The Company plans to discuss, among other things, the effects of the Restatement on its previously reported statements of operations and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below).
To enhance the comparability and usefulness of its financial information, the Company provides Adjusted EBITDA to describe more fully the results of its underlying business. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as consolidated earnings before interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and income taxes plus (a) restructuring costs, (b) management fees and (c) acquisition-related costs, and adjusted for other nonrecurring items.
Information regarding Adjusted EBITDA is provided because management considers this measure important in evaluating and understanding the Company’s operating and financial performance. Management believes this measure provides useful information for investors in trending, analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of the Company’s business. Internally, Adjusted EBITDA is used in the Company’s incentive compensation plans.
Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance by adjusting for certain items that may not be indicative of the Company’s recurring core operating results. However, this metric for measuring the Company’s financial results may be different from comparable information provided by other companies and should not be used as an alternative to the Company’s operating and other financial measures as determined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated net income (loss) for the periods covered by the Restatement is set out in the tables below (in millions):
