Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Included in this presentation are certain non-GAAP financial measures designed to complement the financial
information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America because
management believes such measures are useful to investors.
Adjusted operating income (loss)
Adjusted operating income (loss) represents operating income (loss), excluding adjustments which are outlined in
the quantitative reconciliation provided earlier in this presentation. Management uses Adjusted operating income (loss) to evaluate
the Companys operating performance and believes that Adjusted operating income (loss) is useful to investors because it provides
a supplemental way to possibly better understand the underlying operating performance of the Company. Adjusted operatingincome (loss) should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or any other performance measure derived in
accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted EPS
Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted EPS represent net income (loss) and EPS, excluding adjustments which are
more specifically outlined in the quantitative reconciliation provided earlier in this presentation. Management uses Adjusted net
income (loss) and Adjusted EPS to evaluate the Company's operating performance and believes that Adjusted net income (loss) and
Adjusted EPS are useful to investors because they provide a supplemental way to possibly better understand the underlyingoperating performance of the Company. Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted EPS should not be considered as an alternative to
net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before income tax expense, interest expense, and depreciation and
amortization expense, adjusted to exclude restructuring charges, impairment write-downs, share-based compensation expense,
gain/loss on the disposal of assets, gain on the early extinguishment of debt, increase in fair value of warrant, and foreign exchange
transaction gain/loss. We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance and ability to service debt. We
also present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe such measure is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other
interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate supplemental measure of debt service capacity, because cash
expenditures on interest are, by definition, available to pay interest, and tax expense is inversely correlated to interest expense
because tax expense goes down as deductible interest expense goes up; depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges. Theother items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are excluded in order to better reflect our continuing operations.
In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the
adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future
results will be unaffected by these types of adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance
under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures
derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

Our Adjusted EBITDA measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute
for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
it does not reflect our cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
it does not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payment
on our debt;
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to
be replaced in the future, and our Adjusted EBITDA measure does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
it is not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows;
it does not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not be indicative of our ongoing
operations;
it does not reflect limitations on or costs related to transferring earnings from our subsidiaries to us; and
other companies in our industry may calculate this measure differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparativemeasure.
Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash
available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as a measure of cash that will be available to us to meet our
obligations. You should compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted
EBITDA only supplementally.
