Note: The term "GAAP" in the following explanation refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
(1) | EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by SEC Regulation G. We consider EBITDA an important measure of our financial performance and of our ability to generate cash flows to service debt, fund capital expenditures and fund other corporate investing and financing activities. EBITDA is used as the denominator in the consolidated leverage ratio calculation for covenant purposes under our holding company's senior revolving credit facility. EBITDA eliminates the non-cash effect of tangible asset depreciation and amortization and intangible asset amortization. EBITDA should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, pre-tax income, net income and cash flows from operating activities. |
(2) | Liquid assets - management target is considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by SEC Regulation G. We include the excess capital of our broker-dealer subsidiaries in the calculation of liquid assets - management target, rather than simply including broker-dealer cash and cash equivalents, because capital requirements may limit the amount of cash available for dividend from the broker-dealer subsidiaries to the parent company. Excess capital, as defined below, is generally available for dividend from the broker-dealer subsidiaries to the parent company. We consider liquid assets - management target to be an important measure of our liquidity and of our ability to fund corporate investing and financing activities. Liquid assets - management target should be considered a supplemental measure of liquidity, rather than a substitute for cash and cash equivalents. |
We define liquid assets - management target as the sum of (a) corporate cash and cash equivalents, (b) corporate short-term investments and (c) regulatory net capital of (i) our clearing broker-dealer subsidiary in excess of 10% of aggregate debit items and (ii) our introducing broker-dealer subsidiaries in excess of a minimum operational target established by management ($50 million in the case of our primary introducing broker-dealer, TD Ameritrade, Inc.). Liquid assets - management target is based on more conservative measures of broker-dealer net capital than regulatory thresholds require because we prefer to maintain significantly more conservative levels of net capital at the broker-dealer subsidiaries. We consider liquid assets - management target to be a measure that reflects our liquidity that would be readily available for corporate investing and financing activities under normal operating circumstances. | |
