Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our management uses financial measures that are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States , or GAAP, in addition to financial measures in accordance with GAAP to evaluate our operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, our reported financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our management uses adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our operating performance and trends and make planning decisions. Our management believes adjusted EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the items that we exclude. Accordingly, we believe that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.
Adjusted EBITDA reported by Trulieve excludes from net income as reported interest, share-based compensation, tax, depreciation, amortization, acquisition and transaction costs, COVID-related expenses, fair value step-up of inventory from acquisitions, integration and transition costs, non-cash expenses and other income. Preliminary Adjusted EBITDA calculated by Harvest Health & Recreation Inc. excludes from net loss as tabulated interest, share-based compensation, tax, depreciation, amortization, acquisition and transaction costs, COVID-related expenses, fair value step-up of inventory from acquisitions, integration and transition costs, non-cash expenses and other expense. The financial measures noted above are metrics that have been adjusted from the GAAP net income measure in an effort to provide readers with a normalized metric in making comparisons more meaningful across the cannabis industry, as well as to remove non-recurring, irregular and one-time items that may otherwise distort the GAAP net income measure.
