Securities and Exchange Commission and shall not be deemed

accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP), the attached press release discloses continuing earnings
before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(EBITDA) which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Additionally, it
discloses Adjusted EBITDA which further adjusts EBITDA to exclude
stock-based compensation expense, (gain) loss on sale or
impairment of long lived assets, other operating credits and
charges and investment income. It also discloses Adjusted income
from continuing operations which excludes (gain) loss on sale or
impairment of long-lived assets, other operating credits and
charges, net, interest outside of normal operations, early debt
extinguishment and adjusts for a normalized tax rate. EBITDA,
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income from continuing operations
are not a substitute for the GAAP measure of net income or
operating cash flows or other GAAP measures of operating
performance or liquidity. A copy of the reconciliation of
Adjusted income from continuing operations, EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA for the quarter ended March 31, 2017>and 2016 is

we use them as important supplemental measures of our performance
and believe that similarly-titled measures are frequently used by
securities analysts, investors and other interested persons in
the evaluation of companies in our industry, some of which
present similarly-titled measures when reporting their results.
We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our performance as
compared to other companies in our industry that have different
financing and capital structures and/or tax rates. It should be
noted that companies calculate similarly-titled measures
differently and, therefore, as presented by us may not be
comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other
companies. In addition, EBITDA has material limitations as a
performance measure because it excludes interest expense, income
tax (benefit) expense and depreciation and amortization which are
necessary to operate our business or which we otherwise incurred
or experienced in connection with the operation of our business.
excludes (gain) loss on sale or impairment of long-lived assets,
other operating credits and charges, net, interest outside of
normal operations, and early debt extinguishment, adjusted for a
normalized tax rate is a useful measure for evaluating our
ability to generate earnings and that providing this measure will
allow investors to more readily compare the earnings referred to
in the press release to our earnings for past and future periods.
We believe that this measure is particularly useful where the
amounts of the excluded items are not consistent between the
periods presented. It should be noted that other companies may
present similarly-titled measures differently and, therefore, as
presented by us may not be comparable to similarly-titled
measures reported by other companies. In addition, Adjusted
income from continuing operations has material limitations as a
performance measure because it excludes items that are actually
incurred or experienced in connection with the operations of our
business.
