Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results of operations prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"), we also evaluate our financial performance using EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Field contribution and Field contribution margin, Free cash flow, and Net leverage. Given our determination of adjustments in arriving at our computations, these non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes or alternatives to net income or loss, revenue, operating income or loss, cash flows from operating activities, total indebtedness, gross margin, gross margin percentage or any other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Each non-GAAP measure should be viewed in addition to our reported results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Normalized Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Normalized Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and are not intended to replace financial performance measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, such as net income or loss. Rather, we present EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Normalized Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental measures of our performance. We define EBITDA as net income or loss before interest expense, net; income tax expense or benefit; and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, adjusted for the impact of certain other items that are either non-recurring, infrequent, non-cash, unusual, or items deemed by management to not be indicative of the performance of our core operations, including impairments of goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets; non-cash, share-based compensation and associated employer payroll taxes; loss on extinguishment of debt; fees related to debt modifications; the effect of interest rate derivatives; acquisition-related and integration costs; legal costs and settlements associated with acquisition matters; restructuring costs; other legal matters; and other costs. We define Normalized Adjusted EBITDA as Adjusted EBITDA, further adjusted for (i) reimbursement received in the period presented related to certain rate increases applied retroactively for services provided in a prior period, for which there is no associated wage pass-through reflected in cost of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization,
(ii) annual value-based payment true-up related to prior year results, and (iii) improved collections on previously reserved patient accounts receivable. As non-GAAP financial measures, our computations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Normalized Adjusted EBITDA may vary from similarly termed non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, making comparisons with other companies on the basis of this measure impracticable.
Management believes our computations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Normalized Adjusted EBITDA are helpful in highlighting trends in our core operating performance. In determining which adjustments are made to arrive at EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Normalized Adjusted EBITDA, management considers both (1) certain non-recurring, infrequent, non-cash or unusual items, which can vary significantly from year to year, as well as (2) certain other items that may be recurring, frequent, or settled in cash but which management does not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. We use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Normalized Adjusted EBITDA to assess operating performance and make business decisions.
We have incurred substantial acquisition-related costs and integration costs. The underlying acquisition activities take place over a defined timeframe, have distinct project timelines and are incremental to activities and costs that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Therefore, we believe it is important to exclude these costs from our Adjusted EBITDA and Normalized EBITA because it provides management a normalized view of our core, ongoing operations after integrating our acquired companies, which we believe is an important measure in assessing our performance.
