Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
Vector Group Ltd. (the "Company") has prepared materials for presentations to investors. A copy of these materials are furnished (not filed) as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to Regulation FD.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 contain the Non-GAAP Financial Measures discussed below. The Pro-forma non-GAAP financial measures are presented assuming Vector Group Ltd.’s acquisition of the additional 20.59% interest in Douglas Elliman Realty LLC, and the related purchase accounting adjustments, occurred prior to beginning of each period presented.
Pro-forma Adjusted Revenues, Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA, Pro-forma Capital Expenditures and Pro-forma Free Cash Flow are financial measures not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Pro-forma Adjusted Revenues is defined as Revenues plus the additional revenues as a result of the consolidation of Douglas Elliman plus one-time purchase accounting adjustments to fair value for deferred revenues recorded in connection with the increase of the Company’s ownership of Douglas Elliman. EBITDA is defined as Net Income before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization. Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA, as defined above, and as adjusted for changes in fair value of derivatives embedded with convertible debt, equity gains (losses) on long-term investments, gains (losses) on sale of investment securities available for sale, equity income from non-consolidated real estate businesses, loss on extinguishment of debt, acceleration of interest expense related to debt conversion, stock-based compensation expense, litigation settlement and judgment expense, impact of the settlement of a dispute related to the Master Settlement Agreement (“MSA”), gains on acquisition of Douglas Elliman, changes to EBITDA as a result of the consolidation of Douglas Elliman and other charges. Pro-Forma Capital Expenditures is defined as Capital Expenditures adjusted for Vector Group Ltd.’s acquisition of the additional 20.59% interest in Douglas Elliman Realty LLC and reduced by Vector’s non-controlling interest in Douglas Elliman Realty LLC. Pro-forma Free Cash Flow is defined as Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA reduced by Pro-forma Capital Expenditures.
The Company believes that Pro-forma Adjusted Revenues, Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA, Pro-forma Capital Expenditures and Pro-forma Free Cash Flow are important measures that supplement discussions and analysis of its results of operations and enhances an understanding of its operating performance. The Company believes Pro-forma Adjusted Revenues, Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA, Pro-forma Capital Expenditures and Pro-forma Free Cash Flow provide investors and analysts with a useful measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, capital investment cycles and ages of related assets among otherwise comparable companies. Management uses Pro-forma Adjusted Revenues, Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA, Pro-forma Capital Expenditures and Pro-forma Free Cash Flow as measures to review and assess operating performance of the Company's business and management and investors should review both the overall performance (GAAP net income) and the operating performance (Pro-forma Adjusted Revenues, Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA, Pro-forma Capital Expenditures and Pro-forma Free Cash Flow) of the Company's business. While management considers Pro-forma Adjusted Revenues, Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA, Pro-forma Capital Expenditures and Pro-forma Free Cash Flow to be important, they should be considered in addition to, but not as substitutes for or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as operating income, net income and cash flows from operations. In addition, Pro-forma Adjusted Revenues, Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA , Pro-forma Capital Expenditures and Pro-forma Free Cash Flow are susceptible to varying calculations and the Company's measurement of Pro-forma Adjusted Revenues, Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA , Pro-forma Capital Expenditures and Pro-forma Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to those of other companies
