(1) EBITDA is defined as net earnings before net interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is presented because (i) management uses EBITDA to measure Bucyrus' liquidity and financial performance and (ii) management believes EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating the performance and enterprise value of companies in general, and in evaluating the liquidity of companies with significant debt service obligations and their ability to service their indebtedness. The EBITDA calculation is not an alternative to net earnings under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as an indicator of operating performance or of cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management's discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The following table reconciles net earnings to EBITDA and EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities. |
||||
(2) Reflects non-cash stock compensation expense related to equity incentive plans. | ||||
(3) Reflects losses on the disposal of fixed assets in the ordinary course. | ||||
(4) Reflects costs related to the acquisition of Terex Mining. | ||||
(5) In connection with the acquisition of Terex Mining, inventories acquired were adjusted to estimated fair value. This adjustment is being charged to cost of products sold as the inventory is sold. |
||||
(6) Adjusted EBITDA is a material term in Bucyrus' credit agreement, which management believes is a material agreement, and is used in the calculation of the leverage ratio covenant thereunder. |
