(1) EBITDAX is a non-GAAP financial measure.  See  reconciliation of net income to EBITDAX in Appendix.


As used herein, EBITDAX is calculated as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, and exploration expense and further
excludes non-cash compensation, impairments, hedge ineffectiveness and income or loss on derivative contracts. EBITDAX should not be considered as an
alternative to net income (as an indicator of operating performance) or as an alternative to cash flow (as a measure of liquidity or ability to service debt obligations)
and is not in accordance with, nor superior to, generally accepted accounting principles(GAAP), but provides additional information for evaluation of our operating
performance.
