Corporate Adjusted EBITDA means earnings, excluding the impact of the (increase) decrease in fair
value of derivatives, before non-vehicle interest expense, income taxes, non-vehicle depreciation,
amortization, and certain other items as shown below. The Company believes Corporate Adjusted
EBITDA is important as it provides a supplemental measure of the Company's liquidity by adjusting
earnings to exclude certain non-cash items, taxes and corporate-level capital structure decisions (i.e.
non-vehicle interest), thus, allowing the Company’s management, including the chief operating
decision maker, as well as investors and analysts, to evaluate the Company’s operating cash flows
based on the core operations of the Company. Additionally, the Company believes Corporate
Adjusted EBITDA is a relevant measure of operating performance in providing a measure of
profitability that focuses on the core operations of the Company while excluding certain items that do
not directly reflect ongoing operating performance. The Company’s management, including the chief
operating decision maker, uses Corporate Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the Company’s performance
and in preparing monthly operating performance reviews and annual operating budgets. The items
excluded from Corporate Adjusted EBITDA, but included in the calculation of the Company’s
reported net income, are significant components of its consolidated statements of income, and must
be considered in performing a comprehensive assessment of overall financial performance.
Corporate Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under GAAP and should not be considered as an
alternative measure of the Company's net income, cash flow or liquidity. Corporate Adjusted
EBITDA amounts presented may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other
companies. See the table below for a reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP results.
