(1) Adjusted EBITDA, Core Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, excluding gross payments for the settlement of interest rate swaps, are non-GAAP financial measures. Estos indicadores financieros no asociados con los GAAP deben ser considerados como información adicional y no sustitutiva de la información provista de conformidad con los GAAP. Reconciliations for these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, to the extent applicable, are provided in the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Financial Measures tables. We are not able to forecast Net income on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and difficulty in predicting certain items that affect Net income including, but not limited to, Income tax expense, stock-based compensation expense and Interest expense. Core Adjusted EBITDA should not be used to predict Net income as the difference between the two measures is variable.
