Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA |
$ | (1,129 | ) | 7,350 |
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe it is a useful financial performance measure due to the significance of our long-lived assets and level of indebtedness. Adjusted EBITDA is an additional measure of financial performance. We believe that the inclusion or exclusion of certain special items, such as gains and losses on asset dispositions and impairments, is necessary to provide the most accurate measure of core operating results and as a means to evaluate comparative results. Refer to our previously filed 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed on April 2, 2018 and 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2018 filed on May 9, 2018 for the reconciliation from net income to adjusted EBITDA and further discussion of Non-GAAP measures.
