To the extent this annual report discusses our objectives, plans and strategies, or otherwise makes statements about the future, such statements are forward-looking and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements made. These factors include the impact of changes in our payor mix and third party reimbursement, risks relating to insurance coverage and reserves, the complex government regulations applicable to our business, the ability to recruit and retain qualified healthcare professionals and other factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in subsequent periodic reports.
This report includes presentations of Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income before equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiary, income tax expense, interest and other income, realized gain on investments, interest expense, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used by management and investors as a performance measure and liquidity indicator. Adjusted EBITDA is not considered a measure of financial performance under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and the items excluded therefrom are significant components in understanding and assessing our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to GAAP measures such as net income, cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in our consolidated financial statements as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures are provided herein. Since Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP and is susceptible to varying calculations, this measure, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer has certified to the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) that he is not aware of any violation by the Company of NYSE listing standards, as required by Section 303A.12(a) of the NYSE listing standards.
