EBITDA, a measure used by management to measure operating performance, is defined as net income (loss) attributable to First Data before interest expense, net, income tax (benefit) expense, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net income (loss) attributable to First Data as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow available for management's discretionary use as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. The presentation of EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Management believes that EBITDA is helpful in highlighting trends because EBITDA excludes the results of decisions that arc outside the control of operating management. Management compensates for the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures by using them to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these presentations of EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and can differ significantly from company to company depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure. the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate and capital investments. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain items and other adjustments and is used by management as a measure of operating performance. We believe that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA are appropriate to provide additional infonnation to investors about certain material non-cash items and about non-recurring items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is the profit (loss) measurement we utilize in the Segment Information notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus 16 httplAnnv.see.gov/Archi vecledgaddatat883980/00011 9312515334479/d31022ds la.htmill 0/14/2015 9:06:38 AM] CONFIDENTIAL - PURSUANT TO FED.
