RCM Technologies, Inc. Reconciliation of EBITDA to Net Income (Loss) and Cash Provided by Operating Activities As used in this report, EBITDA means earnings before interest income, interest expense, depreciation, amortization, and income taxes. We believe that EBITDA, as presented, represents a useful measure of assessing the performance of our operating activities, as it reflects our earnings trends without the impact of certain non-cash charges or income. Our creditors in assessing debt covenant compliance also use EBITDA. We understand that, although security analysts frequently use EBITDA in the evaluation of companies, it is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation. EBITDA is not intended as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indicator of our operating performance, nor as an alternative to any other measure of performance in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The following is a reconciliation of EBITDA to both net income (loss) and cash flow provided by operating activities.
