Preliminary Unaudited Selected Financial Data
These preliminary expectations regarding surgical case volumes, same store and total revenues and Adjusted EBITDA and Credit Agreement EBITDA for the quarter ended September30, 2018 are the responsibility of management and are subject to quarter end and year-end adjustments in connection with the completion of our customary financial closing procedures, including management’s review and finalization and to accounting review procedures by our independent registered public accounting firm, which have not yet been performed. Consequently, the results should not be viewed as a substitute for our earnings release and Quarterly Report on Form10-Q, which are expected to be released no later than November9, 2018. Actual results may differ materially from our preliminary expectations.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA and Credit Agreement EBITDA are financial measures that have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and the Company’s definition and computation of these non-GAAP financial measures may vary from those used by other companies. These measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute or alternative to net income or loss, operating income or loss, cash flows from operating activities, total indebtedness or any other measures of operating performance, liquidity or indebtedness derived in accordance with GAAP.
The Company defines the term “Adjusted EBITDA” as income before income taxes adjusted for net income attributable to non-controlling interests, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, equity-based compensation expense, contingent acquisition compensation expense, transaction, integration and acquisition costs, reserve adjustments, loss on disposals and de-consolidations, net, gain on litigation settlements and certain other items that we do not believe are representative of our ongoing operations. Credit Agreement Adjusted EBITDA refers to Adjusted EBITDA further adjusted for the impact of hurricanes, synergies and certain other adjustments. The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Credit Agreement EBITDA to net income/loss for the period presented because management cannot reasonably predict with sufficient reliability all of the necessary components of net income/loss for the periods presented. The Company has excluded the items reflected in the definition of Adjusted EBITDA and Credit Agreement EBITDA above from its projected Adjusted EBITDA and Credit Agreement EBITDA for the period presented and is likely to exclude these
