Executive Relocation — EBITDA

 

EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.  SIRVA believes that Executive Relocation’s EBITDA is a relevant measure for assessing its investment in Executive Relocation because it attempts to eliminate variances caused by the effects of differences in taxation, the amount and type of capital employed and depreciation and amortization policies.  EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered by investors as an alternative to net income as an indicator of performance.  EBITDA as disclosed below is not necessarily comparable to EBITDA disclosed by other companies because EBITDA is not uniformly defined.  The following calculations reflect assumptions regarding applicable income tax rates, and interest expense has been netted against interest income in the “Net income” line.
