Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income tax provision,
depreciation and amortization, adjusted for non recurring expenses. Management
believes adjusted EBITDA for Gadot to be a meaningful indicator of its
performance that provides useful information to investors regarding its financial
condition and results of operations. Presentation of adjusted EBITDA is a non-
GAAP financial measure commonly used by management to measure operating
performance. While management considers adjusted EBITDA to be an important
measure of comparative operating performance, it should be considered in
addition to, but not as a substitute for, net income and other measures of financial
performance reported in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash available to fund cash
requirements. Not all companies calculate adjusted EBITDA in the same manner,
and the measure as presented may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures
presented by other companies.
