EBITDA & Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited) 1 EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that management uses as a supplemental performance measure. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net earnings. EBITDA is net earnings adjusted for net interest expense (including debt retirement costs), income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. It should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings computed under GAAP. 2 Interest expense, net for first quarter 2013 includes debt retirement costs of $17.1 million. 3 Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of the items listed that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. 18 (Dollars in thousands) Q1'13 Q2'13 Q3'13 Q4'13 Q1'14 Earnings before interest, income taxes, and depreciation & amortization (EBITDA)1 GAAP net (loss) earnings ($882) $ 11,658 $ 13,317 $ 82,862 $ 6,226 Interest expense, net2 28,040 11,094 10,708 11,252 10,734 Income tax (benefit) provision (14,675) 6,962 (5,183) (55,825) 3,558 Depreciation and amortization expense 22,151 23,253 22,180 22,688 22,231 EBITDA $ 34,634 $ 52,967 $ 41,022 $ 60,977 $ 42,749 Directors' equity-based compensation expense (benefit) 3,472 (1,141) 361 1,392 2,817 Costs associated with Thomaston facility closure 183 1,013 1,717 3,064 750 Costs associated with Long Island facility closure 8,432 Adjusted EBITDA3 $ 38,289 $ 52,839 $ 43,100 $ 65,433 $ 54,748 18
