(1) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA presented in this press release are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

EBITDA represents net income (loss) before net interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA further adjusted to give effect to certain non-cash items and other adjustments, all of which are defined in the indentures governing our debt. The adjustments include adjustments for impairment of goodwill, restructuring charges and related plant closure costs, stock compensation charges, severance and relocation costs, results from discontinued operations, executive recruiting costs, currency gains and losses, gains and losses on derivative instruments, gains and losses resulting from the disposal of property and equipment, certain non-income based taxes, losses on debt extinguishment, management fees, and gains and losses from the sale of available for sale securities.

We believe that the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to
