Share-based compensation expense, which is recognized in
general and administrative expenses, totaled $3.8 million
and $49.9 million for the three months and year ended
December31, 2016, respectively, as compared to $1.3 million
and $33.7 million for the three months and year ended
January2, 2016, respectively. Share-based compensation for
the year ended December31, 2016 was affected by $37.3
million of share-based compensation expense for
performance-vesting interests for which compensation
expense had not previously been recognized as the
achievement of certain investment returns was not yet
probable.

The Company evaluates its operating performance using
metrics it refers to as EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, gross
profit and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share (EPS) which
are not defined by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The Company
defines EBITDA as net loss before interest expense, income
tax benefit and depreciation, depletion and amortization
expense. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA
before accretion, loss on debt financings,IPO costs, loss
from discontinued operations and certain non-cash and
non-operating items. The Company defines gross profit as
operating income before depreciation, depletion,
amortization and accretion, general and administrative
expenses and transaction costs. The Company defines
Adjusted EPS as consolidated net income adjusted for
significant non-cash or non-recurring items divided by the
aggregate number of shares


of ClassA common stock and LP Units outstanding.

The Company includes these non-GAAP measures in conjunction
with its results according to U.S. GAAP because management
believes they provide a more complete understanding of factors
and trends affecting the Companys business than U.S. GAAP
measures alone. Management believes these non-GAAP measures
assist the Companys board of directors, management, lenders and
investors in comparing the Companys operating performance on a
consistent basis because they remove, where applicable, the
effect of the Companys capital structure, asset base,
acquisition accounting, non-cash charges and non-operating
items from the Companys operations. In addition, management
uses Adjusted EBITDA and gross profit to evaluate the Companys
operational performance as a basis for strategic planning and
as a performance evaluation metric.

Despite the importance of these measures in analyzing the
Companys business, evaluating its operating performance and
determining covenant compliance, as well as their use by
securities analysts, lenders and others in their evaluation of
companies, the measures have limitations as analytical tools,
and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a
substitute for analysis of the Companys results as reported
under U.S. GAAP. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and gross profit are
not intended to be measures of liquidity or free cash flow for
the Companys discretionary use. Some of the limitations of
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and gross profit are:

they do not reflect the Companys cash expenditures or future
requirements for capital expenditures or contractual
commitments;

they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the
Companys working capital needs;

they do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash
requirements to service interest or principal payments on the
Companys debt; and

they do not reflect income tax payments the Company is required
to make.

To properly and prudently evaluate the Companys business,
readers are encouraged to review the financial statements the
Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
SEC), and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate
the Companys business. The Company also strongly urges you to
review the reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA, operating income (loss) to gross profit and
net income (loss) per share to Adjusted EPS set forth below.
The measures presented here, may differ from and may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures used by other
companies, because they are not measures of financial
performance under U.S. GAAP and are susceptible to varying
calculations.

(loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated
