non-GAAP financial measure, is provided supplementally because it is widely used by investors as a performance and valuation measure in the solid waste industry. &#160;Management uses adjusted EBITDA as one of the principal measures to evaluate and monitor the ongoing financial performance of Waste Connections&#8217; operations. &#160;Waste Connections defines adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to Waste Connections, plus or minus net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, plus income tax provision, plus interest expense, less interest income, plus depreciation and amortization expense, plus closure and post-closure accretion expense, plus or minus any loss or gain on impairments and other operating items, plus other expense, less other income. &#160;Waste Connections further adjusts this calculation to exclude the effects of other items management believes impact the ability to assess the operating performance of its business. &#160;This measure is not a substitute for, and should be used in conjunction with, GAAP financial measures. &#160;Other companies may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently. &#160;</p><p style="font-family:'Times New

of items management believes impact the ability to evaluate the liquidity of its business operations. &#160;This measure is not a substitute for, and should be used in conjunction with, GAAP liquidity

both non-GAAP financial measures, are provided supplementally because they are widely used by investors as a valuation measure in the solid waste industry. &#160;Management uses adjusted net income attributable to Waste Connections and adjusted net income per diluted share attributable to Waste Connections as one of the principal measures to evaluate and monitor the ongoing financial performance of Waste Connections&#8217; operations. &#160;Waste Connections provides adjusted net income attributable to Waste Connections to exclude the effects of items management believes impact the comparability of operating results between periods. &#160;Adjusted net income attributable to Waste Connections has limitations due to the fact that it excludes items that have an impact on the Company&#8217;s financial condition and results of operations. &#160;Adjusted net income attributable to Waste Connections and adjusted net income per diluted share attributable to Waste Connections are not a substitute for, and should be used in conjunction with, GAAP financial measures. &#160;Other companies may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently. &#160;</p><p
