(1) “Free cash flow” is cash flow from operations less net capital expenditures and dividends paid to stockholders. Free cash flow is not a measure under generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be considered as a substitute for any measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that free cash flow
provides investors with helpful supplemental information about the Company’s ability to fund internal growth, make acquisitions, repay debt and repurchase common stock.
This measure may also be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.
