EBITDA and EBITDA per share are non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. EBITDA is commonly defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe that EBITDA provides useful information to investors as it excludes transactions not related to the core cash operating business activities. We believe that excluding these transactions allows investors to meaningfully trend and analyze the performance of our core cash operations. All companies do not calculate EBITDA in the same manner, and EBITDA as presented by Workstream may not be comparable to EBITDA presented by other companies. Workstream defines EBITDA as earnings or loss before interest, taxes, depreciation amortization, non-cash equity compensation and non-recurring goodwill impairment, if applicable. Following the financial statements attached is a reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA loss and EBITDA per share that should be read in conjunction with the financial statements.
