Net income, excluding losses (gains) on sales of facilities and impairment of long-lived assets and adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and should not be considered as alternatives to net income as a measure of operating performance or cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities as a measure of liquidity. Because net income, excluding losses (gains) on sales of facilities and impairment of long-lived assets and adjusted EBITDA are not measurements determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and are susceptible to varying calculations, net income, excluding losses (gains) on sales of facilities and impairment of long-lived assets and adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
