20 Non-GAAP Measure We use Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial performance measure to supplement the financial information presented on a GAAP basis. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for the related GAAP measure, nor should it be considered superior to the related GAAP measure, and should be read together with financial information presented on a GAAP basis. Also, our non-GAAP measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income from continuing operations before (1) income taxes (which Cars.com does not recognize due to its classification as a flow-through entity during the applicable periods), (2) non-operating items (which are primarily comprised of gains on marketable securities held in trust and interest income), (3) depreciation and (4) amortization. When Adjusted EBITDA is discussed in reference to performance, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is Net income from continuing operations. We use Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial performance measure, for purposes of evaluating our performance. Therefore, we believe that this measure provides useful information to investors by allowing themto view our businesses through the eyes of our management and Parent’s Board of Directors, facilitating comparison of results across historical periods, and providing a focus on the underlying ongoing operating performance of our businesses. Users should consider the limitations ofusing Adjusted EBITDA, including the fact that such measure does not provide a complete measure of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be an alternative to net income from continuing operations as a measure of operating performance or to cash flowsfrom operating activities as a measure of liquidity. In particular, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow availablefor management’s discretionary use, as Adjusted EBITDA does not consider certain cash requirements, such as working capital needs, capital expenditures, and contractual commitments.Reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to net income from continuing operations presented in accordance with GAAP on our Statements of Income related to Cars.com are presented below:Year ended December 31 In thousands of dollars 2014 2015 (Pro Forma) 2013 Net income from continuing operations $157,838 $36,925 $69,242 Income taxes — — — Non-operating items (105) (281) (1,901) Operating income 157,733 36,646 67,341 Depreciation 8,160 9,482 8,666 Amortization 72,658 72,658 — Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) $238,551 $118,784 $76,007
