Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Disclosures
This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures.
Pursuant to regulatory disclosure requirements, Mach is required to
reconcile non-GAAP financial measures to the related GAAP
information (GAAP refers to generally accepted accounted
principles). Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures are
provided below. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures, along
with other financial and operational disclosures, are also within
the supplemental tables that are available on the Company’s website
at www.machnr.com and in the related Form 10-Q filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Adjusted EBITDA(1)
We include in this press release the supplemental non-GAAP
financial performance measure Adjusted EBITDA and provide our
calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of Adjusted
EBITDA to net income, our most directly comparable financial
measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We
define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before (1) interest expense,
net, (2) depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, (3)
unrealized (gain) loss on derivative instruments, (4) equity-based
compensation expense, (5) credit losses, and (6) (gain) loss on
sale of assets.
Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial performance
measure by our management and by external users of our financial
statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders, rating
agencies and others, to more effectively evaluate our operating
performance and our results of operation from period to period and
against our peers without regard to financing methods, capital
structure or historical cost basis. We exclude the items listed
above from net income in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these
amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our
industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of
assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were
acquired. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial
performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an
alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined
in accordance with GAAP or as indicators of our operating
performance. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are
significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s
financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax
burden, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none
of which are reflected in Adjusted EBITDA. Our presentation of
Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our
results will be unaffected by unusual items. Our computations of
Adjusted EBITDA may not be identical to other similarly titled
measures of other companies.
