Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating its business, Newtek considers and uses Adjusted net investment income and
Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of its operating performance.
Adjusted net investment income includes short-term capital gains from the sale of the
guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans, which is a reoccurring event. The Company
defines Adjusted net investment income (loss) as Net investment income (loss) + Net
realized gains. The
Company
defines
Adjusted
EBITDA
as
earnings
before,
interest
expense,
taxes,
depreciation
and
amortization,
corporate overhead allocation and stock compensation expense.
Newtek uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental
measure to review and assess the operating performance of its portfolio companies.
The Company also presents
the
Adjusted EBITDA of its portfolio companies because it believes it is frequently used by
securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a measure of financial
performance. The terms Adjusted net investment income and Adjusted EBITDA, are not
defined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and are not
a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in
accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted net investment income and Adjusted EBITDA, have
limitations as analytical tools and, when assessing the Company’s operating
performance, investors should not consider Adjusted net investment income and Adjusted
EBITDA in isolation, or as a substitute for net investment income (loss), or other
consolidated
income
statement
data
prepared
in
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP.
Among
other
things,
Adjusted
net
investment
income
and
Adjusted
EBITDA
do
not
reflect
the
Company’s
actual
cash
expenditures.
Other
companies
may
calculate
similar
measures
differently
than
Newtek,
limiting
their
usefulness
as
comparative
tools.
The Company
compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its GAAP results supplemented by
Adjusted net investment income and Adjusted EBITDA. |
