EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
Definitions EBITDA is defined as earnings (loss)
attributable to Blink Charging Co. before interest income
(expense), provision for income taxes, depreciation and
amortization. Blink Charging believes EBITDA is useful to its
management, securities analysts, and investors in evaluating
operating performance because it is one of the primary measures
used to evaluate the economic productivity of the Company’s
operations, including its ability to obtain and maintain its
customers, its ability to operate its business effectively, the
efficiency of its employees and the profitability associated with
their performance. It also helps Blink Charging’s management,
securities analysts, and investors to meaningfully evaluate and
compare the results of the Company’s operations from period to
period on a consistent basis by removing the impact of its merger
and acquisition expenses, financing transactions, and the
depreciation and amortization impact of capital investments from
its operating results.
The Company also believes that Adjusted EBITDA,
defined as EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation expense,
acquisition related costs, and one-time non-recurring expenses,
non-cash impairment charges, and non-cash loss on extinguishment of
notes payable is useful to securities analysts and investors to
evaluate the Company’s core operating results and financial
performance because it excludes items that are significant non-cash
or non-recurring expenses reflected in the Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Operations.
Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may differ
from other companies reporting similarly named measures. These
measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a
substitute for, or superior to, other measures of financial
performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as Net Loss.
