Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use non-GAAP financial measures “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted Net Income,” “Adjusted Earnings Per Share,” “Net Debt,” and “Net Debt to Trailing Twelve Months Adjusted EBITDA” in evaluating our past results and future prospects. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus the sum of income tax expense, net interest expense, debt refinancing expense, depreciation and amortization, costs to execute strategic initiatives and CEO transition costs. We define Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share (“Adjusted EPS”) as Net Income and Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus the after-tax impact of debt refinancing expense, costs to execute strategic initiatives and CEO transition costs. We define Net Debt as the current portion of long-term debt plus long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents. We define Net Debt to Trailing Twelve Months Adjusted EBITDA as Net Debt (as defined above) as of the end of the period to Adjusted EBITDA (as defined above) for the period.
We present Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions. In addition, our chief operating decision maker uses Adjusted EBITDA of each reportable segment to evaluate the operating performance of such segments. We use Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS as supplemental measures to evaluate our business’ performance in a way that also considers our ability to generate profit without the impact of certain items. We use Net Debt as we believe it is a more representative measure of our liquidity. We use Net Debt to Trailing Twelve Months Adjusted EBITDA because it reflects our ability to service our debt obligations. We present Conversion of Adjusted EBITDA as it measures our management of working capital and profit conversion to cash. Accordingly, we believe presenting these measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management team and board of directors.
Non-GAAP information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as or comparable to similar non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies.
Guidance for fiscal year and second quarter 2025, where adjusted, is provided on a non-GAAP basis. While the Company is providing estimated amounts for certain of the expected adjustments in this release, the Company cannot provide full reconciliations for its expected second quarter and fiscal year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS to expected Net Income and expected EPS under “Fiscal Year 2025 and Second Quarter 2025 Outlook” without unreasonable effort because certain items that impact Net Income and EPS and other reconciling metrics are out of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted at this time, which unavailable information is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s GAAP financial results.
Please see reconciliations of non-GAAP measures used in this release (with the exception of our fiscal year and second quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS outlook, as described above) to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, beginning on the following page.
