Adjusted EBITDA for the full year of 2011 was $44.5 million, compared to $51.8 million in 2010. A discussion regarding the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA in this press release, including reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to EBITDA and net income (loss), is set forth below in the section titled, "SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION."
In March 2010, the Company refinanced substantially all of its debt. The Company issued $300 million in principal amount of 11.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2015, $139.4 million in principal amount of 13.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2015, entered into a $35 million revolving credit facility with a group of banks and entered into a facility for the issuance of cash collateralized letters of credit. Effective August 4, 2010, the Company expanded the size of its revolving credit facility from $35 million to $50 million. On October 22, 2010, the Company amended and restated its revolving credit facility to amend covenants and certain other terms. As a result of these financing transactions, the Company recognized $8.8 million of expense in 2010 related to fees, expenses and the write-off of certain debt issuance costs related to the debt that was repaid. In 2011, the Company recorded $0.7 million of expense in connection with financing activities associated with a strategic merger opportunity within the packaged ice industry. Interest expense in 2011 was $58.7 million, compared to $50.1 million in 2010.
In connection with the Company's ongoing acquisition strategy, nine acquisitions were completed in 2011 for a total purchase price of approximately $12.7 million, net of $0.7 million of inventories, of which approximately $10.1 million relates to acquisitions in the Northwest. No acquisitions were completed during the three months ended December 31, 2011. Annual revenues and Adjusted EBITDA associated with our 2011 acquisitions are approximately $13.8 million and $3.0 million, respectively.
The Company incurred acquisition expenses in the fourth quarter of $0.5 million and $4.6 million for the full year of 2011. Acquisition expenses for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2010 were $0.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Substantially all of the 2011 expenses were in connection with the Company's evaluation of a strategic merger opportunity within the packaged ice industry.
A separate press release will be issued providing additional detail on the Company's ongoing discussions with lenders and potential restructuring plans.

SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
EBITDA represents the Company's consolidated net income (loss) before income taxes, interest and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted to give effect to unusual items, non-cash items, Reddy Ice Holdings, Inc. ("Reddy Holdings") gains and expenses and other adjustments set forth below, such additional adjustments being required to calculate covenant ratios and compliance under the Company's new credit facility. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not presentations made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and are not measures of financial condition or profitability. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for "net income (loss)", the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, as an indicator of operating performance.
By presenting Adjusted EBITDA, the Company intends to provide investors with a better understanding of its core operating results to measure past performance as well as prospects for the future. The Company evaluates operating performance based on several measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, as the Company believes it is an important measure of the operational strength of its business. Furthermore, the additional adjustments included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA are required to calculate covenant ratios and compliance under the Company's credit facility.
Adjusted EBITDA as we have presented it may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily a measure of the Company's ability to fund its cash needs, as it excludes certain financial information when compared to "net income (loss)". Users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions which are excluded.
