Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA plus or minus the result from the equity method of accounting interest in real estate companies, revenue from the rental of spun-off property, net non-operating result and minority interests. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under Brazilian GAAP and should not be considered individually as a measure of the Company’s economic performance, as an alternative to net income or operating cash flows or as an indicator of liquidity. There is no standard formula for calculating Adjusted EBITDA and Marisa’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be similar to the definition of Adjusted EBITDA used by other companies.
