Management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures may be useful in certain instances to provide additional meaningful comparisons between current results for the company, current results for Seaton, and current results on a pro-forma basis of the combined operations of the company and Seaton. Within this presentation, including the tables attached hereto, reference is made to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). See attached, “Reconciliation of GAAP Operating Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA”. EBITDA is a metric used by management and frequently used by the financial community which provides insight into an organization’s operating trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies, since interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. EBITDA also can be a useful measure of a company’s ability to service debt and is one of the measures used for determining the company’s debt covenant compliance. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items that are unusual in nature or not comparable from period to period. The company provides this information to investors to assist in comparisons of past, present and future operating results and to assist in highlighting the results of on-going operations. While the company’s management believes that non-GAAP measurements are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace the company’s GAAP financial results and should be read in conjunction with those GAAP results. 17
