Adjusted income from continuing operations reconciliation to GAAP
29
______________________
Note:
(1)
Numbers may not add due to rounding.
Adjusted net income (loss) is a supplemental measure of profitability 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 net income (loss) has limitations as an analytical tool.  It is not a
measurement of our profitability under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to Net income (loss) as a measure of profitability.
Adjusted net income (loss) assists us in measuring our performance and profitability of our operations without the impact of transaction costs related to debt
and credit facility extinguishment, acquisitions, impairment of assets and swap termination. The following table sets forth the reconciliation of Adjusted net
income (loss).

Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation to GAAP
30
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 meet certain financial ratios and tests.  Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before impairment of assets, equity compensation costs
and acquisition 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):
