It excludes the net effect of transaction fees, financial instrument gains and losses, and of non-service components of retiree benefit costs. Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations is defined as Earnings from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes plus net interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, charges from non-consolidating affiliates, and lease incentive amortization. It excludes the net effect of transaction fees, financial instrument gains and losses, and of non-service components of retiree benefit costs. Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations and Adjusted Pre-Tax Earnings from Continuing Operations are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered alternatives to net income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations and Adjusted Pre-Tax Earnings from Continuing Operations to assess the performance of its operating results among periods. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP, or as an alternative measure of liquidity. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of projected Adjusted EBITDA because it is unable to predict with reasonable accuracy the value of certain adjustments. Certain adjustments can be significantly impacted by the period-end re-measurements of financial instruments including stock warrants issued to customers. The Company’s earnings on a GAAP basis and the non-GAAP adjustments for gain and losses resulting from the re-measurement of stock warrants, will depend on the future prices of ATSG stock, interest rates and other assumptions which are highly uncertain. @ATSGinc www.atsginc.com STEPHENS NASHVILLE INVESTMENT CONFERENCE
