Table 4

Hanger, Inc.

Segment Information: Revenue, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

(Unaudited – in thousands)

EBITDA is defined as operating income before depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before certain charges, expenses associated with equity-based compensation, severance expenses, certain expenses incurred in connection with our acquisition strategy, including the pending Merger Agreement, proceeds received from grants under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economy Security Act (“CARES Act”) and certain other charges.

We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as measures to assess the relative level of our indebtedness and our compliance with certain debt covenants which are based on these measures. Additionally, we utilize these measures to assess our operating and financial performance. We believe that these measures enhance a user’s understanding of normal operating income excluding certain charges, depreciation and amortization.

Neither EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA are measures of financial performance computed in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for operating income, net income, cash flows from operations, or other statement of operations or cash flow data prepared in conformity with GAAP, or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. In addition, the calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is susceptible to varying interpretations and calculations, and the amounts presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be indicative of historical operating results, and we do not intend these measures to be predictive of future results of operations.
