1 EBITDA represents net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and

amortization. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under

accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). We have

included data with respect to EBITDA because management believes it

facilitates performance comparison between the Company and its competitors,

and management evaluates the performance of its reportable segments using

several measures, including EBITDA. Management considers EBITDA to be an

important supplemental indicator of our core operating performance because it

eliminates interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization charges

to net income or loss. In relation to competitors, EBITDA eliminates

differences among companies in capitalization and tax structures, capital

investment cycles and ages of related assets. For these reasons, management

believes that EBITDA provides important information regarding the operating

performance of the Company and its reportable segments.

financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative

for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and are

not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for our GAAP results.
