18Strong EBITDA Free Cash Flow Per Share
EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, represents
cash provided by operating activities before the
impact of interest expense, income taxes, DDA,
accretion, share based compensation and
unrealized gains or losses on derivative or MTM
settlement transactions. Free cash flow is also
a non-GAAP measure representing EBITDA after
adjustments for the cash portion of interest and
income taxes. Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP
measure which excludes the income tax affected
impact of unrealized derivative gains or losses
or unrealized MTM settlement gains or losses or
GAAP income. These non-GAAP measures are
presented because management believes it is a
useful adjunct to cash provided by operating
activities under accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (GAAP). These
non-GAAP measures are widely accepted as
financial indicators of an oil and gas companys
ability to generate cash which is used to
internally fund exploration and development
activities and fund debt service costs. These
non-GAAP measures are not a measure of financial
performance under GAAP and should not be
considered as an alternative to cash provided
(used) by operating, investing, or financing
activities as an indicator of cash flows, or as a
measure of liquidity.
