Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains information about Allison’s financial
results and forward-looking estimates of financial results which are not
presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales to
measure our operating profitability. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales provide management, investors
and creditors with useful measures of the operational results of our
business and increase the period-to-period comparability of our
operating profitability and comparability with other companies. Adjusted
EBITDA as a percent of net sales is also used in the calculation of
management’s incentive compensation program. The most directly
comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA is Net income. The most
directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net
sales is Net Income as a percent of net sales. Adjusted EBITDA is
calculated as the earnings before interest expense, income tax expense,
amortization of intangible assets, depreciation of property, plant and
equipment and other adjustments as defined by
We use Adjusted Free Cash Flow to evaluate the amount of cash generated by our business that, after the capital investment needed to maintain and grow our business and certain mandatory debt service requirements, can be used for the repayment of debt, stockholder distributions and strategic opportunities, including investing in our business. We believe that Adjusted Free Cash Flow enhances the understanding of the cash flows of our business for management, investors and creditors. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is also used in the calculation of management’s incentive compensation program. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted Free Cash Flow is Net cash provided by operating activities. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is calculated as Net cash provided by operating activities after additions of long-lived assets and certain other adjustments.
