Notes totheConsolidated Financial Statements (CONTINUED)
Management believes that Operating income (loss) before depreciation andamortization is an appropriate measure for
evaluating the operating performance of the Company’s business segments. Operating income (loss) before depreciation
and amortization provides management, investors and equity analysts ameasure to analyze operating performance of each
business segment and enterprise value against historical and competitors’ data, although historical results, including
Operating income (loss) before depreciation andamortization, may not be indicative of future results (as operating
performance is highly contingent on manyfactors including customer tastes and preferences).
