The dollar amounts reported are the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA reflected in the Company’s Form 10-K, and represent EBITDA, excluding stock-based compensation, named executive officer cash severance, pension settlement cost, impairment of intangible asset, gain or loss on disposal of assets, cash bonus related to sale of assets, gain on legal settlement and severance benefits. Adjusted EBITDA is not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should not be construed as an alternative to reported results determined in accordance with GAAP.
