Definitions Regarding Reconciliation
“Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for (1) (Income) loss from discontinued operations, net of tax (2) Income tax expense (benefit), (3) Investment income (loss), Interest expense, Other, net and (4) Depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is used in the calculation of CEO and CFO compensation.
“Adjusted EBITDA” by Segment represents adjusted operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization.
“Adjusted free cash flow” represents net cash provided by operating activities less cash used for capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sales of assets. Management believes that adjusted free cash flow is an important liquidity measure for the Company and that it is useful to investors and management as a measure of the Company’s ability to generate cash flow, after reinvesting in the Company’s future growth, that could be available for paying down debt or other financing cash flows, such as dividends to shareholders. Adjusted free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, cash flow from operations reported in accordance with GAAP.
“Adjusted gross margin per day” represents Adjusted gross margin divided by the total number of rig revenue days during the period.
“Adjusted gross margin” by segment represents Adjusted operating income (loss) plus general and administrative costs, research and engineering costs, plus depreciation and amortization.
“Adjusted operating income” represents Operating Revenues less the sum of Direct Costs, General & Administrative Expenses, Research & Engineering Expenses and Depreciation & Amortization.
“Rig revenue days” represents the number of days the Company’s rigs are contracted and performing under a contract during the period. These would typically include days in which operating, standby and move revenue is earned. Daily rig revenue represents operating revenue, divided by the total number of rig revenue days during the period.
“Net debt” is calculated as total debt minus the sum of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.
Each of these terms is a non-GAAP measure and should not be used in isolation or as a substitute for amounts reported in accordance with GAAP. However, we evaluate the performance of the Company, operating segments and compensation based on several criteria, including these non-GAAP measures, because we believe that these financial measures accurately reflect, and provide additional insight to investors on, the Company’s ongoing profitability, performance and liquidity.
