Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders and adjusted net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders per basic and diluted share exclude, where applicable: (i) share-based compensation; (ii) COVID-19 government relief benefits (iii) legal judgment and arbitration awards; (iv) realized and unrealized investment gains or losses, as well as the related tax impact of these adjustments, and (v) income taxes resulting from management's decision to no longer indefinitely reinvest the historical earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are important supplemental measures that allow management and users of the Company's financial statements to view operating trends and analyze controllable operating performance on a comparable basis between periods without the after-tax impact of share-based compensation and certain unusual items included in net loss attributable to common shareholders. Although share-based compensation is an important aspect of the Company's employee and executive compensation packages, it is a non-cash expense and is excluded from certain internal business performance measures. A reconciliation of net loss attributable to common shareholders and the associated per share amounts to adjusted net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders and adjusted net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders per diluted share is presented in the table below. Net loss attributable to common shareholders and the associated per share amounts are the most directly comparable GAAP measures because they reflect the earnings relevant to the Company's shareholders, rather than the earnings attributable to non-controlling interests. In addition to the non-GAAP financial measures discussed above, management also uses "EBITDA," as such term is defined in the Company's Credit Agreement, and which is referred to herein as "Adjusted EBITDA per Credit Facility." As allowed by the Credit Agreement, Adjusted EBITDA per Credit Facility includes adjustments in addition to the exclusion of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA per Credit Facility measure is presented to allow a more comprehensive analysis of the Company's operating performance and to provide additional information with respect to the Company's compliance against its Credit Agreement requirements when applicable. In addition, the Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA per Credit Facility presents relevant and useful information widely used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the Company's industry to evaluate, assess and benchmark the Company's results. EBITDA is defined as net income or loss excluding (i) income tax expense or benefit; (ii) interest expense, net of interest income; (iii) depreciation and amortization, including film asset amortization; and (iv) amortization of deferred financing costs. Adjusted EBITDA per Credit Facility is defined as EBITDA excluding: (i) share-based and other non-cash compensation; (ii) realized and unrealized investment gains or losses; (iii) write-downs, net of recoveries, including asset impairments and credit loss expense; and (iv) legal judgment and arbitration awards. A reconciliation of net loss attributable to common shareholders, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per Credit Facility is presented in the table below. Net loss attributable to common shareholders is the most directly comparable GAAP measure because it reflects the earnings relevant to the Company's shareholders, rather than the earnings attributable to non-controlling interests. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by or used in operating activities minus cash used in investing activities (from the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows). Management views free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, as a measure of the Company's after-tax cash flow available to reduce debt, add to cash balances, and fund other financing activities. Free cash flow does not represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. A reconciliation of cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow is presented below. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies. Additionally, the non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, the comparable GAAP amounts. **_Adjusted EBITDA per Credit Facility_** **For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 (1)** **For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 (1)** **Attributable to Non-controlling** **Interests and** **Common** **Shareholders** **Less:** **Attributable to** **Non-controlling** **Interests** **Attributable to** **Common** **Shareholders** **Attributable to Non-controlling** **Interests and** **Common** **Shareholders** **Less:** **Attributable to** **Non-controlling** **Interests** **Attributable to** **Common** **Shareholders** _(In thousands of U.S.Dollars)_ Reported net loss $ (4,251) $ (1,400) $ (2,851) $ (6,112) $ 3,099 $ (9,211) Add (subtract): Income tax expense 3,133 5 3,128 1,946 884 1,062 Interest expense, net of interest income 179 (91) 270 432 (89) 521 Depreciation and amortization, including film asset amortization 14,282 1,196 13,086 12,994 1,038 11,956 Amortization of deferred financing costs(2) 730 — 730 699 — 699 EBITDA $ 14,073 $ (290) $ 14,363 $ 9,959 $ 4,932 $ 5,027 Share-based and other non-cash compensation 7,777 379 7,398 6,911 345 6,566 Unrealized investment gains (30) — (30) (33) — (33) Write-downs, including asset impairments and credit loss expense 5,163 1,477 3,686 (1,623) (575) (1,048) Legal judgment and arbitration awards — — — (1,770) — (1,770) Adjusted EBITDA per Credit Facility $ 26,983 $ 1,566 $ 25,417 $ 13,444 $ 4,702 $ 8,742 Revenues attributable to common shareholders(3) 73,968 3,213 70,755 50,955 8,421 42,534 Adjusted EBITDA margin attributable to common shareholders 36.5 % 48.7 % 35.9 % 26.4 % 55.8 % 20.6 % **For the Twelve Months Ended June 30, 2022 (1)** **For the Twelve Months Ended June 30, 2021 (1)** **Attributable to Non-controlling** **Interests and** **Common** **Shareholders** **Less:** **Attributable to** **Non-controlling** **Interests** **Attributable to Non-controlling** **Interests and** **Common** **Shareholders** **Less:** **Attributable to** **Non-controlling** **Interests** **Attributable to** **Common** **Shareholders** **Attributable to** **Common** **Shareholders** _(In thousands of U.S.Dollars)_ Reported net loss $ (9,166) $ 5,572 $ (14,738) $ (84,640) $ 7,865 $ (92,505) Add (subtract): Income tax expense 21,293 2,683 18,610 26,261 2,072 24,189 Interest expense, net of interest income 877 (378) 1,255 4,890 (346) 5,236 Depreciation and amortization, including film asset amortization 57,434 5,565 51,869 51,492 4,468 47,627 Amortization of deferred financing costs(2) 3,258 — 3,258 1,611 — 1,008 EBITDA $ 73,696 $ 13,442 $ 60,254 $ (386) $ 14,059 $ (14,445) Share-based and other non-cash compensation 27,713 1,105 26,608 23,520 1,109 22,411 Realized and unrealized investment gains (123) — (123) (5,714) (1,702) (4,012) Write-downs, including asset impairments and credit loss expense 11,691 1,091 10,600 16,769 3,102 13,667 Legal judgment and arbitration awards — — — 2,335 — 2,335 Loss from equity accounted investments — — — 1,329 — 1,329 Adjusted EBITDA per Credit Facility $ 112,977 $ 15,638 $ 97,339 $ 37,853 $ 16,568 $ 21,285 Revenues attributable to common shareholders(3) 299,178 26,789 272,389 182,955 29,869 153,086 Adjusted EBITDA margin attributable to common shareholders 37.8 % 58.4 % 35.7 % 20.7 % 55.5 % 13.9 % \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ (1)     The Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio is calculated using Adjusted EBITDA per Credit Facility determined on a trailing twelve-month basis.  (2)     The amortization of deferred financing costs is recorded within Interest Expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
