Concrete Pumping Holdings, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and Description of Business
Organization
Concrete Pumping Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Thornton, Colorado. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries including Brundage-Bone Concrete Pumping, Inc. ("Brundage-Bone"), Camfaud Group Limited ("Camfaud") and Eco-Pan, Inc. ("Eco-Pan").
Nature of business
Brundage-Bone is a concrete pumping service provider in the United States ("U.S.") and Camfaud is a concrete pumping service provider in the United Kingdom ("U.K."). Their core business is the provision of concrete pumping services to general contractors and concrete finishing companies in the commercial, infrastructure and residential sectors. Most often equipment returns to a "home base" nightly and these service providers do not contract to purchase, mix, or deliver concrete. Brundage-Bone has approximately 90 branch locations across
Eco-Pan provides industrial cleanup and containment services, primarily to customers in the construction industry. Eco-Pan uses containment pans specifically designed to hold waste products from concrete and other industrial cleanup operations. Eco-Pan has
Seasonality
The Company’s sales are historically seasonal, with lower revenue in the first quarter and higher revenue in the fourth quarter of each year. Such seasonality also causes the Company’s working capital cash flow requirements to vary from quarter to quarter and primarily depends on the variability of weather patterns with the Company generally having lower sales volume during the winter and spring months.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 2 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2024 ("Annual Report"). During the three months ended January 31, 2025, there were no changes to those accounting policies.
Basis of presentation
We have prepared these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements based on Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. These financial statements include all adjustments that are necessary for a fair statement of our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows for the periods shown, including normal, recurring accruals and other items. The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). These condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2024.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified in order to conform to the current year presentation.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company updated its allocation methodology of corporate costs to better align with the manner in which the Company now allocates resources and measures performance. As a result, segment results for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. For further discussion, see Note 19.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet effective
ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07") - In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. The purpose of the amendments is to enable investors to better understand an entity’s overall performance and assess potential future cash flows. This ASU is effective for public companies with annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt the standard during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year ending October 31, 2025, and is currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09") - In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions. This ASU is effective for public companies with annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2024-03, Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures ("ASU 2024-03") - In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, which requires additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements for both interim and annual reporting periods. This ASU is effective for public companies with annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 17. Fair Value Measurement
The carrying amounts of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and current accrued liabilities approximate their fair value as recorded due to the short-term maturity of these instruments, which approximates fair value. The Company’s outstanding obligations on its asset-backed loan ("ABL") credit facility are deemed to be at fair value as the interest rates on these debt obligations are variable and consistent with prevailing rates. There were no changes since October 31, 2024 in the Company's valuation techniques used to measure fair value.
Long-term debt instruments
The Company's long-term debt instruments are recorded at their carrying values in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, which may differ from their respective fair values. The fair values of the long-term debt instruments are derived from Level 2 inputs. The fair value amount of the long-term debt instruments as of January 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024 is presented in the table below based on the prevailing interest rates and trading activity of the Senior Notes.

All other non-financial assets
The Company's non-financial assets, which primarily consist of property and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets, are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis and are reported at carrying value. However, on a periodic basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be fully recoverable (and at least annually for goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles), non-financial instruments are assessed for impairment and, if applicable, written down to and recorded at fair value.
Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies
Insurance
Commercial Self-Insured Losses
The Company retains a significant portion of the risk for workers' compensation, automobile, and general liability losses ("self-insured commercial liability"). Reserves have been recorded that reflect the undiscounted estimated liabilities including claims incurred but not reported. When a recognized liability is covered by third-party insurance, the Company records an insurance claim receivable to reflect the covered liability. Amounts estimated to be paid within one year have been included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, with the remainder included in other liabilities, non-current on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Insurance claims receivables that are expected to be received from third-party insurance within one year have been included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, with the remainder included in other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The following table summarizes as of January 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024 for (1) recorded liabilities, related to both asserted as well as unasserted insurance claims and (2) any related insurance claims receivables:

Medical Self-Insured Losses
The Company offers employee health benefits via a partially self-insured medical benefit plan. Participant claims exceeding certain limits are covered by a stop-loss insurance policy. The Company contracts with a third-party administrator for tasks including, but not limited to, processing claims and remitting benefits. As of January 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, the Company had accrued $
Litigation
The Company is currently involved in certain legal proceedings and other disputes with third parties that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the outcomes of these matters will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and does not believe that any amounts need to be recorded for contingent liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Washington Department of Revenue Sales Tax Issue
Historically, the Company has not charged sales tax to its Washington State customers that provide a reseller certificate, treating this as a wholesale transaction rather than as a retail sale. Effective April 1, 2020, the state of Washington Department of Revenue ("DOR") published a rule which amended Washington Administrative Code 458-20-211, otherwise known as Rule 211, by designating sales of stand-alone concrete pumping services as solely retail transactions. The Company sought to defend its position that no sales tax should be charged for customers that provide a reseller certificate. As such, for the period from April 1, 2020 through January 31, 2024, the Company did not charge sales tax where its customers provide a reseller certificate and petitioned for declaratory relief from the amended rule.
In February 2023, the Company received an adverse ruling from the Thurston County superior court in Washington State regarding its position, which it appealed. As of October 31, 2023, no liability had been recorded in connection with this contingency as a loss was not deemed probable at that time.
In February 2024, oral arguments were heard in the Court of Appeals in Tacoma, Washington and the Company received an unfavorable judgement during the same month. As a result of this unfavorable judgment, the Company concluded that loss is probable and therefore recorded a loss of $

Total revenue. Total revenues were $86.4 million for the three months ended January 31, 2025 compared to $97.7 million for the three months ended January 31, 2024. Revenue by segment is further discussed below.
U.S. Concrete Pumping. Revenue for our U.S. Concrete Pumping segment decreased by 14.6%, or $9.8 million, from $66.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 to $56.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 primarily attributable to a decrease in volumes driven by (1) higher than normal rainfall and much colder than average temperatures in the Company's central, mountain and southeastern regions throughout the quarter and (2) a continued general slowdown in commercial construction work, mostly due to tighter-than-expected monetary policy.
U.S. Concrete Waste Management Services. Revenue for the U.S. Concrete Waste Management Services segment improved by 6.9%, or $1.1 million, from $15.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 to $ 16.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase in revenue was driven by organic growth and pricing improvements.
U.K. Operations. Revenue for our U.K. Operations segment decreased by 16.7%, or $2.6 million, from $15.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 to $12.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Excluding the impact from foreign currency translation, revenue was down 16.5% year-over-year, due to lower volumes caused by a general slowdown in commercial construction work.

Gross margin. Our gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was 36.1% compared to 34.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The improvement in gross margin was primarily related to improvements in fuel and commercial insurance costs.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses ("G&A"). G&A expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 were $27.8 million, a decrease of $4.1 million from $31.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. G&A expenses as a percent of revenue were 32.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to 32.7% for the same period a year ago. The decrease in G&A expenses was largely due to (1) the non-recurring $3.5 million sales tax litigation-related charge in the first quarter of 2024, (2) non-cash decreases in amortization expense of $0.9 million, and (3) lower labor costs of approximately $0.8 million, that were partially offset by a decrease in currency gain of $0.7 million and higher professional fees of $0.6 million.
For the first quarter of fiscal 2025, excluding amortization of intangible assets of $3.0 million, depreciation expense of $0.5 million, and stock-based compensation expense of $0.4 million, G&A expenses were $23.9 million (27.7% of revenue). For the first quarter of fiscal 2024, excluding amortization of intangible assets of $3.9 million, depreciation expense of $0.6 million, stock-based compensation expense of $0.5 million, the non-recurring $3.5 million sales tax litigation-related charge and currency gain of $0.7 million, G&A expenses were $24.1 million (24.7% of revenue).
Total other income (expense)
Interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs, net of interest income. Interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs, net of interest income for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was $5.8 million, down $0.7 million from $6.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to a lower average ABL revolver draw during the fiscal 2025 first quarter as compared to the same quarter a year ago.
Debt extinguishment costs. On January 31, 2025, we closed on our private offering of $425.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured second lien notes due 2032 and repaid all outstanding indebtedness under our then-existing senior notes due 2026. The $1.4 million in debt extinguishment costs incurred relate to the write-off of all unamortized deferred debt issuance costs that were related to the 2026 Notes.
Income tax benefit
Income tax benefit. For the three months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s effective tax rate was 28.2% and 20.9%, respectively. The comparability of effective tax rates between both periods was primarily impacted by excess tax deficiencies from share-based compensation in fiscal 2024.
Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA Results
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company updated its methodology in which the Company allocates its corporate costs to better align with the manner in which the Company now allocates resources and measures performance. As a result, segment results for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

U.S. Concrete Pumping. Net loss for our U.S. Concrete Pumping segment was $3.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to a net loss of $3.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for our U.S. Concrete Pumping segment was $9.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, down $2.4 million from $11.6 million for the same period in fiscal 2024. These decreases were largely driven by the revenue decline as discussed above, while the impact on net loss was also impacted by the non-recurring $3.5 million sales tax litigation-related charge incurred in fiscal 2024 and the loss on debt extinguishment of $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2025.
U.S. Concrete Waste Management Services. Net income for our U.S. Concrete Waste Management Services segment was $0.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to a net loss of $1.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for our U.S. Concrete Waste Management Services segment was $5.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, up $0.5 million from $4.5 million for the same period in fiscal 2024. The increase in net income was attributable to the increase in revenue as described above, lower non-recurring allocations of $0.8 million and lower tax expense of $0.8 million and the loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.5 million and an increase in depreciation expense $0.4 million. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to the improved year-over-year revenue.
U.K. Operations. Net income for our U.K. Operations segment was $0.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to net income of $0.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for our U.K. Operations segment was $2.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, down $0.4 million from $3.2 million from the same period in fiscal 2024. Excluding the impact from foreign currency translation, net income and adjusted EBITDA changes were minimal.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our capital structure is primarily a combination of (1) permanent financing, represented by stockholders’ equity; (2) zero-dividend convertible perpetual preferred stock; (3) long-term financing represented by our Senior Notes (as defined below) and (4) short-term financing under our ABL Facility (as defined below). Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from operations, available cash and cash equivalents and access to our revolving credit facility under our ABL Facility (as defined below), which provides for aggregate borrowings of up to $350.0 million, subject to a borrowing base limitation. We use our liquidity and capital resources to: (1) finance working capital requirements; (2) service our indebtedness; (3) purchase property, plant and equipment (4) finance strategic acquisitions; (5) repurchase shares and (6) pay dividends to our stockholders, as discussed further below. As of January 31, 2025, we had $85.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and $324.5 million of available borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility (as defined below), providing total available liquidity of $409.6 million.
We believe our existing cash and cash equivalent balances, cash flow from operations and borrowing capacity under our ABL Facility will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements may vary materially from those currently planned and will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, potential acquisitions and overall economic conditions. To the extent that current and anticipated future sources of liquidity are insufficient to fund our future business activities and requirements, we may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. The sale of additional equity could result in dilution to our stockholders while the incurrence of additional debt could restrict our operations.
Material Cash Requirements
Our principal uses of cash historically have been to fund operating activities and working capital, purchases of property and equipment, strategic acquisitions, fund payments due under facility operating and finance leases, share repurchases, payment of dividends and to meet debt service requirements.
Our working capital surplus as of January 31, 2025 was $47.7 million. We are in compliance with our debt covenants and believe that we have sufficient working capital to meet our material cash requirements for the foreseeable future.
The amount of our future capital expenditures will depend on a number of factors including general economic conditions and growth prospects. In response to changing economic conditions, we believe we have the flexibility to modify our capital expenditures by adjusting them (either up or down) to match our actual performance and business needs. Our gross capital expenditures for the three months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024 were approximately $5.8 million and $17.8 million, respectively. See "Cash Flow" discussion below for more information.
To service our debt, we require a significant amount of cash. Our ability to pay interest and principal on our indebtedness will depend upon our future operating performance and the availability of borrowings under the ABL Facility and/or other debt and equity financing alternatives available to us, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and conditions in the global credit and capital markets, as well as financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. Based on our current level of operations and given the current state of the capital markets, we believe our cash flow from operations, available cash and available borrowings under the ABL Facility will be adequate to service our debt and meet our future liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. See "Senior Notes and ABL Facility" discussion below for more information.
Dividends
On January 14, 2025, our Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $1.00 per share, totaling $53.1 million, of common stock to shareholders of record as of January 24, 2025, with payment date on February 3, 2025. The dividend was funded with cash on hand and net proceeds from our new 2032 Notes (as defined below). The declaration of dividends on our common stock is discretionary and will be determined by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion and will depend on our business conditions, financial condition, earnings, liquidity and capital requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.
Future Contractual Obligations
For information regarding our future contractual obligations, see the MD&A discussion included in Item 7 of Part II of our Annual Report.

On January 31, 2025, Brundage-Bone Concrete Pumping Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer") and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, closed its private offering of $425.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured second lien notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes”), issued pursuant to an indenture, among the Issuer, the Company, the other Guarantors (as defined below), Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee and as collateral agent (the "Indenture"). The 2032 Notes were issued at par and bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.500% per annum. The Issuer’s obligations under the 2032 Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company, Concrete Pumping Intermediate Acquisition Corp. and each of the Issuer’s domestic, wholly-owned subsidiaries that is a borrower or a guarantor under the ABL Facility (collectively, the "Guarantors"). The proceeds from the 2032 Notes were used to pay the redemption price for all of the Company's outstanding 6.000% senior secured second lien notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) and to pay related fees and expenses thereto. In addition, the remainder of the net proceeds, together with cash on hand, were used to pay a special cash dividend of $1.00 per share of common stock of the Company on February 3, 2025.
On September 6, 2024, the ABL Facility was amended to, among other changes, (1) increase the maximum revolver borrowings available to be drawn thereunder from $225.0 million to $350.0 million, (2) increase the letter of credit sublimit from $22.5 million to $32.5 million and (3) extend the maturity of the ABL Facility to the earlier of (a) September 6, 2029 or (b) the date that is 180 days prior to (i) the final stated maturity date of the Senior Notes or (ii) the date the Senior Notes become due and payable. The ABL Facility also provides for an uncommitted accordion feature under which the borrowers under the ABL Facility can, subject to specified conditions, increase the ABL Facility by up to an additional $25.0 million. Of the $125.0 million in incremental commitments, $75.0 million was provided by Bank of America, N.A. and $50.0 million was provided by PNC Bank, N.A. The amended ABL Facility was treated as a debt modification. The Company capitalized an additional $1.2 million of debt issuance costs related to the September 6, 2024, ABL Facility amendment. The preexisting unamortized deferred costs of $1.4 million and the additional costs of $1.2 million will be amortized from September 6, 2024 through September 6, 2029.
There was no outstanding balance under the ABL Facility as of January 31, 2025 and as of that date, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants. In addition, as of January 31, 2025, the Company had $1.1 million in credit line reserves and a letter of credit balance of $13.9 million. As of January 31, 2025, we had $324.5 million of available borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility. Debt issuance costs related to revolving credit facilities are capitalized and reflected as an asset in deferred financing costs in the accompanying condensed balance sheets. The Company had debt issuance costs related to the revolving credit facilities of $2.4 million as of January 31, 2025.
See Note 7 of Part I, Item I in this document for more information on the Senior Notes and ABL Facility.
Cash Flows
Cash generated from operating activities typically reflects net income, as adjusted for non-cash expense items such as depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation, and changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Generally, we believe our business requires a relatively low level of working capital investment due to low inventory requirements and timely customer payments due to daily billings for most of our services.
Cash flow provided by operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities generally reflects the cash effects of transactions and other events used in the determination of net income or loss.
Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended January 31, 2025 was $6.0 million. The Company had a net loss of $2.6 million, which included net non-cash expense items of $14.7 million. In addition, we had cash inflows related to a decrease in our working capital of $6.0 million. Cash inflows related to working capital activity include a decrease to other operating liabilities of $14.1 million, a decrease to accounts payable of $3.3 million, an increase in other operating assets of $1.4 million and an increase in inventory of $0.3 million, partially offset by a decrease to receivables of $13.2 million. The decrease in other operating liabilities is mainly due to a change in timing of payment of our 2026 Notes due to the refinancing activity previously discussed. The decrease in accounts payable is driven by a slowdown in business activity and the general timing of invoices. The decrease in receivables is due to decreases in sales volumes during the three months ended January 31, 2025.
Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended January 31, 2024 was $20.3 million. The Company had a net loss of $3.8 million, which included non-cash expense items of $13.4 million. In addition, we had cash outflows related to an increase to our working capital of $10.7 million. Working capital changes primarily include a decrease in receivables of $13.9 million, a decrease in inventory of $0.6 million, a decrease of $3.9 million in accounts payable, an increase in other operating assets of $0.6 million and a decrease in other operating liabilities of $0.6 million. The decrease in receivables is due to seasonal collection of receivables during the first quarter of fiscal year 2024. The decrease in accounts payable is driven by the timing of vendor payments. The increase in other assets is primarily due to the increase in sales tax receivable.
Cash flow used in investing activities. Net cash used in operating activities generally reflects the cash outflows for property, plant and equipment.
We used $3.9 million to fund investing activities during the three months ended January 31, 2025. The Company used $5.8 million for the purchase of property, plant and equipment, which was partially offset by $1.9 million in proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment.
We used $16.5 million to fund investing activities during the three months ended January 31, 2024. The Company used $17.8 million for the purchase of property, plant and equipment, which was partially offset by $1.3 million in proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment.
Cash flow provided by (used in) financing activities.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $40.0 million for the three months ended January 31, 2025. Cash provided by financing activities included $425.0 million in proceeds from the issuance of the 2032 Notes, $375.0 million in payments for the extinguishment of the 2026 Notes, $7.3 million in debt issuance costs paid related to the 2032 Notes and $2.6 million in purchase of treasury stock, which included $1.9 million purchased under the share repurchase program and $0.7 million from the purchase of shares into treasury stock in order to fund the employee tax obligations for certain stock award vesting and stock option exercise activities.
Net cash used in financing activities was $5.6 million for the three months ended January 31, 2024. Cash used in financing activities included $5.9 million in net payments under the Company's ABL Facility and $1.1 million in purchase of treasury stock, which included $0.2 million purchased under the share repurchase program and $0.9 million from the purchase of shares into treasury stock in order to fund the employee tax obligations for certain vested stock awards.
Accounting and Other Reporting Matters
Non-GAAP Measures (EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA)
We calculate EBITDA by taking GAAP net income and adding back interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs, net of interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by taking EBITDA and adding back loss on debt extinguishment, stock-based compensation, changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities, other income, net, goodwill and intangibles impairment and other adjustments. Other adjustments include non-recurring expenses, non-cash currency gains/losses, transaction expenses and other items not necessarily indicative of our underlying operating performance. Transaction expenses represent expenses for legal, accounting, and other professionals that were engaged in the completion of acquisitions. Transaction expenses can be volatile as they are primarily driven by the size of a specific acquisition. As such, we exclude these amounts from Adjusted EBITDA for comparability across periods.
We believe these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends related to our financial condition and results of operations, and as a supplemental tool for investors to use in evaluating our ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial measures with competitors who also present similar non-GAAP financial measures. In addition, these measures (1) are used in quarterly and annual financial reports and presentations prepared for management, our board of directors and investors, and (2) help management to determine incentive compensation. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures exclude certain cash expenses that we are obligated to make. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently or may not calculate it at all, which limits the usefulness of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as comparative measures.
