EBITDA is reconciled to its nearest comparable GAAP financial measure. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used as analytical indicator by RadNet management and the healthcare industry to assess business performance, and is a measure of leverage capacity and ability to service debt.

Because consolidated financial statements present an aggregated look at the financial position of a parent and its subsidiaries, they enable you to gauge
