22 Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement the company’s financial results determined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the company has disclosed in the table below the following non-GAAP information about Adjusted EBITDA. 1 Adjusted EBITDA is net income or loss as determined under GAAP excluding (i) interest expense, net of interest income, (ii) provision for income tax expense (benefit), (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) stock-based compensation, (v) change in fair value derivatives, (vi) financing fees (non-interest), (vii) reorganization costs, (viii) restructuring costs, (ix) franchise tax equivalent to income tax, (x) contract cancellations, (xi) stockholder activist settlement costs, and (xii) start-up costs. The company believes that non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA, are helpful in understanding its business as it is useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency of supplementation information used by management. Adjusted EBITDA, is used by investors, as well as management in assessing the company’s performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as substitute for, reported GAAP results. Further, non-GAAP financial measures, even if similarly titled, may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, and therefore should not be compared. 1. See disclaimers and important information on Slides 2 and 3 (a) We previously estimated restructuring, reorganization, stockholder activist settlement costs to be in a range of $5.5 to $6.5 million, which we now estimate will be approximately $9.9 million. Reorganization costs include costs not expected to be incurred on a normalized basis associated with Lifecore becoming a stand-alone entity, divestitures, litigation related with former owners of acquired businesses, restatements of financial statements and change in auditors. Restructuring costs are related to board approved actions consisting primarily of employee severance, lease cost of exited facilities, and costs associated with divested businesses.
