+Added: use adjusted EBITDA to measure our performance from period to period and to compare our results to those of our competitors.
+Added: to adjusted EBITDA being a significant measure of performance for management purposes, we also believe that this presentation provides
+Added: useful information to investors regarding financial and business trends related to our results of operations and that when non-U.S.
