Definitions
Adjusted
EBITDA
represents
earnings
before
interest,
taxes,
depreciation,
depletion
and
amortization
(“EBITDA”)
adjusted for sales discounts and the deduction of income attributable to non-controlling interests in our Indiana Harbor
cokemaking
operations.
EBITDA
reflects
sales
discounts
included
as
a
reduction
in
sales
and
other
operating
revenue.
The sales discounts represent the sharing with our customers of a portion of nonconventional fuels tax credits, which
reduce our income tax expense. However, we believe that our Adjusted EBITDA would be inappropriately penalized if
these
discounts
were
treated
as
a
reduction
of
EBITDA
since
they
represent
sharing
of
a
tax
benefit
which
is
not
included
in EBITDA. Accordingly, in computing Adjusted EBITDA, we have added back these sales discounts. Our Adjusted
EBITDA also reflects the deduction of income attributable to noncontrolling interest in our Indiana Harbor cokemaking
operations. EBITDA and  Adjusted EBITDA do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to net income or
operating income under GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other businesses.
Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of the operating performance of the company’s assets
and is indicative of the Company’s ability to generate cash from operations.
Pro
Forma
Adjusted
EBITDA
represents
Adjusted
EBITDA
adjusted
for
the
ArcelorMittal
settlement
impact
and
coal
transfer price impacts. The Jewell Coke and Coal Mining results have been adjusted to set the internal transfer price to
equal the coal component contract price in Jewell Coke’s coke sales price for coal sales volumes sold to Jewell Coke
under the transfer pricing agreement.  Management believes Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA  provides transparency into the
underlying profitability of these respective segments for the periods presented.
