Reconciliation of Non-GAAP
Financial Measures
(In millions)

EBITDA represents earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and includes the
Company’s proportional share of the underlying EBITDA of the income from joint venture partnerships.  The Company
uses EBITDA extensively as an internal management performance measure and believes it is a useful, and commonly
used measure of financial performance in addition to earnings before taxes and other profitability measurements under
generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP.
It should not be considered as an alternative to earnings before income taxes (or any other performance measure
under GAAP) as a measure of performance or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as an
indicator of cash flows or as a measure of liquidity.  The following table reconciles earnings before income taxes,
representing the most comparable measure under GAAP, to EBITDA for the three- and none-month periods ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007:
