Non - GAAP Financial Measures Due to significant depreciable assets associated with the nature of the Company's operations and interest costs associated wi th its capital structure, management believes that earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and adjusted EBITDA, which exc lud es loss on stock in Calavo and sale and disposable of property assets when applicable, is an important measure to evaluate the Company's results of operatio ns between periods on a more comparable basis. Such measurements are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP" ) a nd should not be construed as an alternative to reported results determined in accordance with GAAP. The non - GAAP information provided is unique to the Com pany and may not be consistent with methodologies used by other companies. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are summarized and reconciled to net (loss) in come attributable to Limoneira Company, which management considers to be the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented i n a ccordance with GAAP.
