Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company uses non-GAAP measures, including EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA as a key performance measure of results of operations enables management and investors to evaluate and compare from period to period our operating performance in a meaningful and consistent manner. Our chief operating decision maker utilizes Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate segment performance, develop strategy and allocate resources. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our operating results.


Slide 82

Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the following: Adjusted EBITDA includes our portion of the EBITDA from our equity investments. Adjusted EBITDA excludes: Transaction expense, net which includes: Acquisition and disposition related charges, including fair value adjustments related to earnouts and deferred payments; and Other transaction expense, including legal, accounting and other deal-related expense; Stock-based compensation expense; Asset impairments; Gain on Ocean Downs/Saratoga Transaction; Gain on Calder land sale; Calder exit costs; Loss on extinguishment of debt; Pre-opening expense; and Other charges, recoveries and expenses
