Note 1: EBITDA before stock compensation is a Non-GAAP Financial Measurement. We use earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") as a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). We define EBITDA before stock compensation as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation. We present EBITDA before stock compensation because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our performance by adjusting net income or loss primarily for non-cash and other non-recurring charges. Because the use of EBITDA before stock compensation facilitates comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, we use this measure for business planning and analysis purposes, in assessing acquisition opportunities and in determining how potential external financing sources are likely to evaluate our business. In addition, we believe this measure provides the investor with an accurate measure of our ability to meet our future cash flow requirements.
