Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Everus has provided a non-GAAP financial measure of 2024 EBITDA guidance. The company defines EBITDA from continuing operations as income (loss) from continuing operations before interest; taxes; and depreciation and amortization. The company believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides meaningful information to investors about operational efficiency compared to the company's peers by excluding the impacts of differences in tax jurisdictions and structures, debt levels and capital investment. The company's management uses the non-GAAP financial measure in conjunction with GAAP results when evaluating the company's operating results and calculating compensation packages. Non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized; therefore, it may not be possible to compare such financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered a substitution for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The company strongly encourages investors to review the consolidated financial statements in their entirety and to not rely on any single financial measure. The following table provides a reconciliation of GAAP income from continuing operations to EBITDA for forecasted results.
