Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, represents cash provided by operating activities before the impact of discontinued operations, changes in working capital items related to operating activities, all exploration costs and further adjusted for unrealized gains or losses on derivative transactions This non-GAAP measure is presented because management believes it is a useful adjunct to cash provided by operating activities under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). This non-GAAP cash flow measure is widely accepted as a financial indicator of an oil and gas company’s ability to generate cash which is used to internally fund exploration and development activities and to service debt. This non-GAAP measure is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash provided (used) by operating, investing, or financing activities as an indicator of cash flows, or as a measure of liquidity.
EBITDAX is also presented below because of its wide acceptance by the investment community as a financial indicator of a company’s ability to internally fund exploration and development activities and to service or incur debt. Management also views the non-GAAP measure of EBITDAX as a useful tool for comparison of the company’s financial indicator with those of peer companies. EBITDAX should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash provided by operating activities, as defined by GAAP. The following table reconciles cash provided by operating activities to cash flow and EBITDAX (in thousands):
