Non-GAAP Disclosures:
Non-GAAP Disclosures:
Our management uses certain "non-GAAP" operational measures to evaluate our operating segment performance and non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate past performance and prospects for the future to supplement ourfinancial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP (United
States generally accepted accounting principles). These financial and operational non-GAAP measures are important factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include:
• Adjusting items - certain identified infrequently occurring items, non-cash items, and items that are not attributable to or indicative of our on-going operations or that may obscure our underlying results and trends;
⚫ Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA")-calculated as net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, including amortization of customer contract intangible assets (with respect to Delek Logistics' EBITDA);
and
• Adjusted Segment Earnings calculated as reported GAAP contribution margin (or revenue less cost of materials and other and operating expenses) less estimated general and administrative expenses specific to the segment (and excluding allocations of corporate general and administrative
expenses), adjusted to indude gain (loss) from disposal of property and equipment, and adjusted to reflect the relevant Adjusting items (defined above). While this measure does not exactly represent EBITDA, it may be considered a reasonably comparable measure to EBITDA, in that it includes all
identified material cash income and expense items, and excludes depreciation, amortization, interest and income taxes. This definition of Adjusted Segment Earnings (or, individually, Adjusted Refining Segment Earnings, Adjusted (Logistics] Midstream Segment Earnings or Adjusted Retail Segment
Earnings) is specific to this communication only and the exhibits referenced herein, and may not correlate to the use of the term 'Adjusted Contribution Margin' or 'Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin' as a non-GAAP measure in other of our filings with the SEC. Accordingly, always refer to the
respective Non-GAAP Disclosures section, included in each of our filings that contain non-GAAP measures, for more information regarding the use of and definition of non-GAAP measures and terms, as they relate to that specific SEC filing.
We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors, lenders, ratings agencies and analysts to assess our financial results and ongoing performance in certain segments because, when reconciled to their most comparable GAAP financial measure, they provide important information regarding
trends that may aid in evaluating our performance as well improved relevant comparability between periods, to peers or to market metrics. Non-GAAP measures have important limitations as analytical tools, because they exclude some, but not all, items thataffect contribution margin, operating
income (loss), and net income (loss). These measures should not be considered substitutes for their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. Additionally, because the non-GAAP measures referenced above may be defined differently by other companies in its industry, Delek US's
definition may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. See the accompanying tables below in the appendix for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
