Non-GAAP Measure Description Our company-selected measure, which is the measure we believe represents the most important financial performance not otherwise presented in the table above that we used to link Compensation Actually Paid to our NEOs for 2025 to our company’s performance, is Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation, depletion, amortization, and accretion, (iv) non-cash stock based compensation expense, (v) (gain) loss on the extinguishment of debt, (vi) contingent consideration (gain) loss, (vii) acquisition transaction expense, (viii) other non-cash adjustments, (ix) (gain) loss on unsettled interest rate derivatives, and (x) (gain) loss on unsettled commodity derivatives. See Appendix A for additional information on our Adjusted EBITDA calculation.
