Note 1: EBITDA means earnings before taxes, interest, depreciation,
amortization, and other costs, and is a non-GAAP measurement. Management
uses EBITDA because it believes it provides useful supplemental
information regarding the Company′s on-going economic performance and,
therefore, uses this financial measure internally to evaluate and manage
the Company′s operations. The Company has chosen to provide this
information to investors to enable them to perform more meaningful
comparisons of operating results and as a means to emphasize the results
of on-going operations.
