Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliation: EBITDA
To assist financial statement users in an assessment of our historical performance, the Company discloses non-GAAP financial measures in press releases and on investor conference calls and related events, as the Company believes that the non-GAAP information enhances investors' overall understanding of our financial performance, and should be read in addition to, rather than instead of, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Management believes EBITDA provides useful information to investors by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the Company's core operating results and that can vary significantly between periods. EBITDA is defined as net income plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization.
The following table reconciles net income to EBITDA (in millions of US dollars):
| 3 Months ended June 30 | ||||
| 2025 | 2024 | |||
