company’s operations on a basis consistent with the measures which the
company uses to manage its operations and evaluate its performance.
Management also uses these measurements to evaluate capital needs and
working capital requirements. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation
or as a substitute for operating income, cash flows from operating
activities, and other income or cash flow statement data prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure
of the company’s profitability or liquidity. Furthermore, EBITDA as
presented above may not be comparable with similarly titled measures
