The company makes use of financial measures that are not
calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to help in the assessment of ongoing operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to their most directly
comparable GAAP measures in the tables above. We
define Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus net interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment expense. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it provides additional information with respect to both the performance of
our fundamental business activities and our
ability to meet our capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Adjusted EBITDA is not defined by GAAP and, as such, should not be construed as an
alternative
to
net
income
(loss)
or
operating
cash
flow.
We
define
margin
as
revenues
less
direct
operating
costs.
We
present
margin
because
we
believe
it
to
be
the
component of our earnings most impacted by the variability in
our contract drilling and pressure pumping operations. Margin is not defined by GAAP and, as such, should not be construed as an alternative to net income (loss).
