Management believes that adjusted gross profit, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, are useful to investors to assess and understand operating performance, especially when comparing those results with previous and subsequent periods.  Management views the income and expenses noted above to be outside of the Company's normal operating results.  Management analyzes operating results without the impact of the above items as an indicator of performance, to identify underlying trends in the business and cash flow from continuing operations, and to establish financial and operational goals, excluding certain non-cash or non-recurring items.
