Appendix A 1) EBITDA from continuing operations, EBIT, and free cash flow are measurements not calculated in accordance with GAAP. We define EBITDA as earnings from continuing operations plus depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of debt issuance costs). We define free cash flow as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. We do not intend EBITDA to represent cash flows from continuing operations or any other items calculated in accordance with GAAP, or as an indicator of Esterline s operating performance. Our definitions of EBITDA, EBIT, and free cash flow from continuing operations may not be comparable with EBITDA from continuing operations as defined by other companies. We believe EBITDA, EBIT, and free cash flow are commonly used by financial analysts and others in the aerospace and defense industries and thus provide useful information to investors. Our management and certain financial creditors use EBITDA as one measure of our leverage capacity and debt servicing ability, and is shown here with respect to Esterline for comparative purposes. EBITDA, EBIT, and free cash flow is not necessarily indicative of amounts that may be available for discretionary uses by us. The following table reconciles operating earnings from continuing operations to EBITDA from continuing operations and cash flow from operations to free cash flow: In Thousands Period Q1 2015 Q1 2014 Operating earnings $ 38,933 $ 51,161 Depreciation and amortization 24,690 25,607 EBITDA $ 63,623 $ 76,768 Cash flow from operations $ 5,196 $ 49,923 Capital expenditure 13,080 11,533 Free cash flow $ (7,884) $ 38,390 25
