Adjusted EBITDA
We define EBITDA as consolidated Net income (loss), excluding Interest expense and other, net, Income tax expense (benefit), and Depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, further adjusted to (i) exclude net investment gains and losses; (ii) deduct interest expense related to the State Farm Term Loan; (iii) exclude share-based compensation expense; and when applicable, exclude (iv) restructuring, impairment and related charges; (v) gains, losses and impairments related to divestitures; and (vi) certain other unusual items, such as Markel Fronting Arrangement transitional costs during the three and six months ended
How This Measure is Useful
When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of operating performance that we believe is a useful measure to evaluate our performance period over period and relative to our competitors and peers. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our operating performance on a consistent basis, as it removes the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations. We believe the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties with a supplemental view of our operating performance that enhances their understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives.
Limitations of the Usefulness of This Measure
Adjusted EBITDA may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation, which could reduce the usefulness of this non-GAAP financial measure when comparing our performance to that of other companies. Presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is presented below.

As a result of our transition to Article 7 reporting standards, Net investment income is reported as a component of revenue and is no longer an adjustment in our reconciliation from Net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA. In addition, interest expense related to the State Farm Term Loan is now deducted from Adjusted EBITDA as it is directly attributable to Hagerty Re, which generates a significant portion of our net investment income. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA as presented in the prior period in accordance with Article 5, to the current presentation in accordance with Article 7:

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) represents Net income (loss) attributable to Class A Common Stockholders, assuming the full exchange of all outstanding THG units and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for shares of Class A Common Stock, adjusted to exclude (i) net investment gains and losses; and when applicable, (ii) changes in the TRA Liability; (iii) gains and losses related to divestitures; and (iv) certain other unusual items. Adjusted Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Income (Loss) by the weighted average shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, assuming the full exchange of all outstanding THG units, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and unvested share-based compensation awards.
How These Measures Are Useful
When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS are supplemental measures of operating performance that we believe are useful measures to evaluate our performance period over period and relative to our competitors and peers. Management uses Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS to evaluate our operating performance on a consistent basis, as it removes the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations. We believe these measures provide securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties with a supplemental view of our operating performance that enhances their understanding of our business and results of operations that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP measures. By assuming the full exchange of all outstanding THG units and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, we believe these measures facilitate comparisons with other companies that have different organizational and tax structures, as well as comparisons period over period because it eliminates the effect of any changes in Net income (loss) attributable to Class A Common Stockholders driven by increases in
Limitations of the Usefulness of These Measures
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation, which could reduce the usefulness of this non-GAAP financial measure when comparing our performance to that of other companies. Presentation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS should not be considered in isolation or a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. While these measures are useful in evaluating our performance, they assume the full exchange of all outstanding THG units and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for shares of Class A Common Stock, which has not occurred and may not occur. Further, the adjustments made to arrive at Adjusted Net Income (Loss) exclude certain expenses and income that may recur in the future. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS should be evaluated in conjunction with our GAAP financial results. A reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) to Net income (loss) attributable to Class A Common Stockholders, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and the computation of Adjusted Diluted EPS are presented below.
