Adjusted EBITDA Definition and Reconciliation to GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by taking net loss calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and excluding all interest-related expenses and income, tax-related expenses and income, non-recurring expenses and income, and non-cash items, including depreciation, amortization, non-cash inventory write-offs, and non-cash compensation. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, for the first quarter of the 2024 and 2023 fiscal years:

| Three Months Ended June 30, | ||||
| Consolidated Results | 2024 | 2023 | ||
| (in $ thousands) | ||||
| Reconciliation of net loss: | ||||
| Net loss | (289 | ) | (433 | ) |
| Adjustments: | ||||
| Depreciation of property and equipment | 11 | 10 | ||
| Amortization of other assets | 24 | 44 | ||
| Interest income | (21 | ) | (13 | ) |
| Non-cash stock-based compensation | 35 | 194 | ||
| Non-cash inventory write-offs | 107 | 15 | ||
| Adjusted EBITDA loss | (133 | ) | (183 | ) |
Nephros believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Nephros’ financial condition and results of operations. Management does not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of Adjusted EBITDA is that it excludes significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recognized in Nephros’ financial statements. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is subject to inherent limitations as it reflects the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining Adjusted EBITDA. To compensate for these limitations, management presents Adjusted EBITDA in connection with net income loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Nephros urges investors to review the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income loss and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the business.
