Earnings before interest; income taxes; depreciation, depletion and amortization; the noncash earnings/loss from
nonconsolidated equity affiliates; the impact of Bluegrass acquisition-related expenses, net; the impact of selling acquired
inventory due to the markup to fair value as part of acquisition accounting; and the asset and portfolio rationalization charge
(Adjusted EBITDA) is an indicator used by the Company and investors to evaluate the Company’s operating performance from
period to period. Adjusted EBITDA is not defined by generally accepted accounting principles and, as such, should not be
construed as an alternative to net earnings, earnings from operations or operating cash flow. However, the Company’s
management believes that Adjusted EBITDA may provide additional information with respect to the Company’s performance.
Because Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net earnings and may vary among companies, Adjusted
EBITDA as presented by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net earnings attributable to Martin Marietta to consolidated Adjusted EBITDA:
