However, Operating Income Before 45G Benefit, Operating Ratio Before 45G Benefit, Operating Income Before 45G Benefit, Asset sales and IPO Charge and Operating Ratio Before 45G Benefit, Asset sales and IPO Charge have limitations as an analytical tool. They are not measurements of our profitability under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to Operating Income or Operating Ratio as a measure of profitability. Operating Income Before 45G Benefit and Operating Ratio Before 45G Benefit assists us in measuring our performance and profitability of our operations without the impact of monetizing the 45G Tax Benefit. Operating Income Before 45G Benefit, Asset sales and IPO Charge and Operating Ratio Before 45G Benefit, Asset sales and IPO Charge assists us in measuring our performance and profitability of our operations without the impact of monetizing the 45G Tax Benefit, asset sales and IPO charges.

Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation to GAAP 28 Adjusted EBITDA, is a supplemental measure of liquidity that is not calculated or presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). We use non-GAAP financial measures as a supplement to our GAAP results in order to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business. However, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool. It is not a measurement of our cash flows from operating activities under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA assists us in monitoring our ability to undertake key investing and financing functions such as making investments, transferring property, paying dividends, and incurring additional indebtedness, which are generally prohibited by the covenants under our senior secured notes unless we met certain financial ratios and tests. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before impairment of assets, equity compensation costs, gain (loss) on foreign currency exchange, acquisition costs and non-recurring headquarter relocation costs. EBITDA, also a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, provision for (benefit from) income taxes and depreciation and amortization. The following tables set forth the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA from our cash flow from operating activities (in thousands):
