The non-GAAP financial measure contained in this Current on Form 8-K is utilized by management to compare Innophos’ operating performance on a consistent basis. Management believes that this financial measure enhances the overall understanding of the Company’s underlying operating performance trends compared with historical periods. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company has not included a GAAP reconciliation of its preliminary Adjusted EBITDA to net income because such reconciliation could not be produced without unreasonable effort.
