Park believes that an evaluation of its ongoing operations would be difficult if the disclosure of its operating results were limited to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) financial measures. Accordingly, in addition to disclosing its operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, Park discloses a non-GAAP measure, Adjusted EBITDA, in order to assist its shareholders and other readers in assessing the Company’s operating performance. The detailed operating information presented below includes a reconciliation of GAAP pre-tax earnings to Adjusted EBITDA. This non-GAAP financial measure is provided to supplement the results provided in accordance with GAAP.
