Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures for capital assets or the impact of certain cash charges that we consider not to be an indication of our ongoing operations;
|
•
|
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital requirements;
|
•
|
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our indebtedness;
|
•
|
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash requirements for such replacements;
|
•
|
stock-based compensation expense is an important element of our long term incentive compensation program, although we have excluded it as an expense when evaluating our operating performance; and

•
|
other companies, including other companies in the industry, may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.
