________________________________________
(a) | We define EBITDA to be earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. For 2013, Adjusted EBITDA is |
defined as EBITDA excluding impact of debt refinancing and redemption costs. For 2012, Adjusted EBITDA is defined as
EBITDA excluding the impact of curtailment gains, restructuring costs and special charges related to the closure of the
Detroit Manufacturing Complex and Cheektowaga Manufacturing Facility, and debt refinancing and redemption costs. We believe that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are meaningful measures of performance as they are commonly utilized by management and investors to analyze operating performance and entity valuation. Our management, the investment community and the banking institutions routinely use EBITDA, together with other measures, to measure our operating performance relative to other Tier 1 automotive suppliers. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as income from operations, net income or cash flow from operating activities as determined under GAAP. Other companies may calculate EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA differently.
(b) | Special charges and restructuring costs of $36.5 million for three months ended June 30, 2012 and $31.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 primarily relate to the closure of our Detroit Manufacturing Complex and Cheektowaga Manufacturing Facility. This special charge activity includes $28.1 million of expense for a contingency related to a claim made by the International UAW for pension and postretirement benefits in the second quarter of 2012 and a $21.8 million postretirement benefit curtailment gain in the first quarter of 2012. |
(c) | Net debt is equal to total debt less cash and cash equivalents. |
(d) | Net debt to capital is equal to net debt divided by the sum of stockholders' deficit and net debt. We believe that net debt to capital is a meaningful measure of financial condition as it is commonly utilized by management, investors and creditors to assess relative capital structure risk. Other companies may calculate net debt to capital differently. |
(e) | We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures net of proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment and the sale-leaseback of equipment. For purposes of calculating free cash flow, AAM excludes the impact of purchase buyouts of leased equipment, if any. We believe free cash flow is a meaningful measure as it is commonly utilized by management and investors to assess our ability to generate cash flow from business operations to repay debt and return capital to our stockholders. Free cash flow is also a key metric used in our calculation of incentive compensation. Other companies may calculate free cash flow differently. |
