Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before net interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization adjusted for certain items and other one - time items . The Company considers this non - GAAP measure in evaluating and managing the Company's operations and believes that discussion of results adjusted for these items is meaningful to investors because it provides a useful analysis of ongoing underlying operating 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 .
