Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures(1)
(Unaudited)
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measures of Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“EBITDA”) and Net Cash Provided by Operations (“Net Cash”).
Fuse presents these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes these measures are a useful indicator of the Company’s operating performance. The Company’s management utilize these non-GAAP measures principally as a measure of the Company's operating performance and believes that these measures are useful to investors because they are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the Company’s industry. The Company also believes that these measures are useful to its management and investors as measures of comparative operating performance from period to period.
EBITDA represents net income plus interest expense, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation expense. Net Cash is the amount of cash generated by net income, adjusted for non-cash items, and adjusted for changes in net working capital.
The Company presents EBITDA and Net Cash because it believes they are useful indicators of the Company’s operating performance. The Company’s management utilize EBITDA and Net Cash principally as a measure of the Company’s operating performance as well as for planning purposes, including the preparation of the Company’s annual operating budget and financial projections.
EBITDA and Net Cash are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered alternatives to net income as a measure of financial performance or cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. They should also not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, EBITDA and Net Cash are not intended to be measures of free cash flows for management’s discretionary use, as they do not reflect certain cash requirements such as tax payments, senior secured revolving credit facility borrowings and payments, capital expenditures and certain other cash costs that may recur in the future. EBITDA and Net Cash contain certain other limitations, including the failure to reflect the Company’s cash expenditures, cash requirements for working capital needs and cash costs to replace assets being depreciated and amortized. In evaluating EBITDA or Net Cash, one should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. The Company’s presentation of EBITDA and Net Cash should not be construed to imply that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments. Management compensates for these limitations by primarily relying on its GAAP results in addition to using EBITDA and Net Cash as supplemental resources. The Company’s definition of EBITDA and Net Cash are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to different methods of calculation.
The following tables presents reconciliations of net income to EBITDA and Net Cash for the periods presented.
