ADJUSTED EBITDA RECONCILIATION Wood Products We have not provided a reconciliation of forecasted Adjusted EBITDA related to the new TimberStrand® facility in Monticello, Arkansas to the most comparable GAAP measure of net income because Adjusted EBITDA, excludes the impact of certain items described in the definition below, and management cannot estimate these items or the impact they will have on Adjusted EBITDA on a forward -looking basis without unreasonable effort. As a result, investors may be unable to accurately compare the expected impact of this i nvestment to our historical results or the results or expected results of other companies that may have treated such matters differently. Nonetheless, management believes that providing this forward-looking non-GAAP information about this investment is useful to invest ors, and given the uncertain nature of forward-looking statements, we believe investors are able to take into account the inherent limitations of this forward-looking non-GAAP information. We cannot reasonably predict the occurrence, timing or amount of any of the items that we exclude from our Adjusted EBITDA estimate. Accordingly, the actual effect of these items, when determined, could potentially be significant to the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and actual results may differ materially from our estimate.
