Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and it means the Company’s net income (loss) as determined in accordance with GAAP, plus (1) interest expense, (2) income tax expense (benefit), (3) stock-based compensation, (4) interest accretion, (5) depreciation and amortization, (6) transaction costs, (7) (gain) loss on sale of equipment, and (8) plus or minus the effect of any extraordinary item or extraordinary transaction. See Appendix C for the Company’s reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return [Text Block]

Compensation Actually Paid and Cumulative Total Shareholder Return

The amount of compensation actually paid to Dr. Brisbin and the average amount of compensation actually paid to the Company’s other NEOs (as a group) is generally aligned with the Company’s cumulative total shareholder return (“TSR”). The alignment of compensation actually paid with the Company’s cumulative TSR is a direct result of the significant portion of the compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs that is derived from equity awards.

​

​

​

​

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income [Text Block]

Compensation Actually Paid and Net Income

The amount of compensation actually paid to Dr. Brisbin and the average amount of compensation actually paid to the Company’s other NEOs (as a group) is inversely aligned with the Company’s net income. As the performance of the Company, as measured by net income, has improved over the past three years, compensation actually paid to the NEOs has decreased. This is due to the calculation of compensation actually paid, which does not incorporate net income metrics in its calculation but rather is primarily driven by changes in the fair market value of equity awards.

​

​

​

Tabular List [Table Text Block]

As described in detail in the CD&A, the Company’s executive compensation program consists of several compensation elements reflecting the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy. The most important financial performance measures used to link compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs with the Company’s performance for 2022 are as follows:

§     Adjusted EBITDA

§     Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share

§     Net Revenue

§     Relative Total Shareholder Return
