The Company defines EBITDA as net income before interest,income taxes,depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a key measure used by management to evaluate our results and make strategic decisions.

Because not all companies use identical calculations,the Company's presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies,and should not be viewed as an alternative to measures of financial performance or changes in cash flows calculated in accordance with the U.S. GAAP.
