Adjusted EBITDA

We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) from continuing operations adjusted for:

1. Income taxes

2. Changes in fair value of loans, retained bonds, and related obligations due to market inputs or model assumptions, deferred purchase price liabilities, and convertible notes, and amortization of the discount on senior notes resulting from the fair value measurement at issuance.

3. Amortization of intangible assets.

4. Equity-based compensation.

5. Certain non-recurring costs and adjustments that management believes should be excluded as these do not relate to a recurring part of the core business operations. These items include amounts recognized for settlement of legal and regulatory matters, acquisition or divestiture-related expenses, and other one-time charges.

6. Depreciation

7. Interest expense on non-funding debt, excluding amortization of the discount on senior notes resulting from the fair value measurement at issuance.

Management considers adjusted EBITDA important in evaluating the Company as a whole. This supplemental metric is utilized by our management team to assess the underlying key drivers and operational performance of the continuing operations of the business. In addition, analysts, investors, and creditors may use this measure when analyzing our operating performance and comparability to peers. Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and our definition and use of this measure may vary from other companies in our industry.

Adjusted EBITDA provides visibility to the underlying operating performance by excluding the impact of certain items that management does not believe are representative of our core earnings. Adjusted EBITDA may also include other adjustments, as applicable, based upon facts and circumstances, consistent with our intent of providing a supplemental means of evaluating our operating performance.
