APPENDIX I – GAAP RECONCILIATION TO ADJUSTED EBITDA 18 Three Months Ended March 31, Twelve Months Ended December 31, ($ in thousands) 2023 2022 2022 Net Income $57,216 $86,762 $245,947 Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes 8,609 (49,053) (10,089) Other (Income) Expense, net (1) (56) (134) Changes in the Fair Value of Contingent Earn - out Obligations 2,382 (4,088) 4,819 Interest Expense, net 2,679 2,126 13,306 Gain on Sale of Assets (512) (323) (1,585) Tax - related SG&A costs 421 4,455 4,665 Amortization 10,331 12,791 47,795 Depreciation 9,187 8,046 33,552 Adjusted EBITDA $90,312 $60,660 $338,276 Note: The Company defines adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) as ne t i ncome, provision for income taxes, other expense (income), net, changes in the fair value of contingent earn - out obligations, interest expense, net, gain on sale of assets, goodwill impairment , other one - time expenses or gains and depreciation and amortization. Other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because it is a financial measure that is frequently requested by third parties. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not considered under generally accepted accounting principles as a primary measure of an entity’s financial results, and acco rdi ngly, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to operating income, net income, or cash flows as determined under generally accepted accounting principles and as reported by t he Company.

APPENDIX II – GAAP RECONCILIATION TO ADJUSTED EPS 19 Three Months Ended March 31, Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2022 Diluted Income per Share $1.59 $2.40 $6.82 Tax Gains Related to Prior Years (0.09) (1.59) (1.64) Tax - Related SG&A Costs, Net of Tax 0.01 0.10 0.11 Diluted Income per Share Excluding Tax Gains $1.51 $0.91 $5.29 Note: Diluted income per share excluding tax gains is presented because the Company believes it reflects the results of the cor e ongoing operations of the Company, and we believe it is responsive to frequent questions we receive from third parties. This measure, however, is not considered a primary measure of an entity’s fin ancial results under generally accepted accounting principles, and accordingly, should not be considered an alternative to operating results as determined under generally accepted accounting p rin ciples and as reported by the Company.
