This press release includes the Company’s non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted EBITDA. The following tables provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP measure. The Company utilizes Adjusted EBITDA to analyze the Company’s performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss) attributable to the Company. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income attributable to the Company and has important limitations as an analytical tool. Investors should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Additionally, because Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income, and are defined differently by different companies within the Company’s industry, the Company’s definition may not be comparable with similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility. Management compensates for the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool by reviewing the comparable GAAP measure, understanding the differences between the measures and incorporating these insights into the Company’s decision-making processes.
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to the Company before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other items that the Company believes should be adjusted consistent with the Company’s core operating performance. The adjusting items are detailed in the Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation table and its footnotes. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by the Company and by external users of the Company’s financial statements such as investors, commercial banks and others to measure the ability of the Company’s assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs, support the Company’s indebtedness and pay dividends to the Company’s investors.
Targa currently estimates its full-year 2020 Adjusted EBITDA to be at or around the high end of its previously provided outlook of
