Comments on EBITDA

EBITDA is not a financial measure computed under Mexican or U.S. GAAP. EBITDA derived from our Mexican GAAP financial information means Mexican GAAP net income (loss) excluding (i) depreciation, (ii) net comprehensive financing costs (which is composed of net interest expense, foreign exchange gain or loss and monetary position gain or loss), and (iii) income tax expense and employee statutory profit-sharing expense.

EBITDA derived from our U.S. GAAP financial information means U.S. GAAP net income excluding (i) depreciation, (ii) interest expense and monetary position gain or loss, and (iii) income tax expense. We believe that EBITDA can be useful to facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and with other companies in our industry because it excludes the effect of (i) depreciation, which represents a non-cash charge to earnings, (ii) certain financing costs, which are significantly affected by external factors, including interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and inflation rates, which have little or no bearing on our operating performance, and (iii) income tax expense and, for EBITDA derived from our Mexican GAAP financial information, employee statutory profit-sharing expense.

EBITDA is also a useful basis of comparing our results with those of other companies because it presents operating results on a basis unaffected by capital structure. You should review EBITDA, along with net income (loss) and cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, when trying to understand our operating performance. While EBITDA may provide a useful basis for comparison, our computation of EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to EBITDA as reported by other companies, as each is calculated in its own way and must be read in conjunction with the explanations that accompany it. While EBITDA is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance, it does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with Mexican or U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), determined in accordance with Mexican or U.S. GAAP, as an indication of our financial performance, or to cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with Mexican or U.S. GAAP, as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs.

EBITDA has certain material limitations as follows: (i) it does not include interest expense, which, because we have borrowed money to finance some of our operations, is a necessary and ongoing part of our costs and assisted us in generating revenue; (ii) it does not include taxes, which are a necessary and ongoing part of our operations; and (iii) it does not include depreciation, which, because we must utilize property and equipment in order to generate revenues in our operations, is a necessary and ongoing part of our costs.

Note: Having accessed this website and some of its pages, the user will have automatically accepted all the Terms of Use here laid down. Therefore, please cease the navigation and public searching of the pages of this website in the event of your not agreeing with all of the above Terms of Use.
