Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures APPENDIX EBITDA Three Months Ended December 31, Twelve Months Ended December 31, ($ in thousands) 2023 2022 2023 2022 Net (loss) income $ (2,377) $ (17,129) $ 64,195 $ 394,974 Interest expense, net 9,456 8,220 40,424 27,573 (Benefit) provision for income taxes (4,458) (14,128) 18,809 130,481 Depreciation and amortization 32,950 33,246 131,768 129,212 EBITDA $ 35,571 $ 10,209 $ 255,196 $ 682,240 FREE CASH FLOW Twelve Months Ended December 31, ($ in thousands) 2023 2022 Net cash flows provided by operating activities $ 527,229 $ 602,514 Capital expenditures (62,209) (130,641) Free cash flow $ 465,020 $ 471,873 13 EBITDA and free cash flow are non-GAAP performance measures included to illustrate and improve comparability of the Company's results from period to period. EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense. Free cash flow is defined as net cash flows provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures. The Company considers these non-GAAP measures in evaluating and managing the Company's operations and believes that discussion of results adjusted for these items is meaningful to investors because they provide a useful analysis of ongoing underlying trends. The adjusted measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures, and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
