Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, and amortization from operations, as well as non-cash items, stock-based compensation (recognized under ASC Topic 718) and beneficial conversion feature expense, which is a non-GAAP measure. We believe the use of this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding our current financial performance; however, Adjusted EBITDA does not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to GAAP measurements. Specifically, we believe Adjusted EBITDA results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain income and expenses that our management believes are not indicative of our core operating results, we believe that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that Adjusted EBITDA should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP financial measures.
"Our first two fiscal quarters of 2017 demonstrated strong growth over our first two fiscal quarters of 2016, and continued growth on a quarter over quarter basis as our licensing, incubation, strategic joint venture relationships and the launch of our hempOLOGY high CBD skin care products continue to grow. We are extremely pleased with our increasing revenues and implementation of our plan of operations. Our revenues have significantly improved and our strategic joint ventures are driving our dramatic revenue increases," explains Freedom Leaf CEO, Clifford Perry.
