Definitions

Operating Margin is calculated as income from operations divided by gross profit. Management believes this measure provides a meaningful assessment of operating efficiency because the Company's business model involves the trading and supply of marine fuel products, where revenue primarily reflects the pass-through cost of fuel products and may fluctuate significantly with changes in underlying commodity prices. Accordingly, management believes gross profit provides a more meaningful basis than revenue for evaluating the Company's operating performance and operating efficiency.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"), the Company presents certain non-GAAP financial measures, including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), which management uses to evaluate the Company's operating performance and efficiency.

EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. Management believes EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors by removing the effects of financing decisions, income taxes and certain non-cash expenses, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of the Company's operating performance.

These non-GAAP financial measures are presented solely as supplemental measures and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies because they may be calculated differently. Reconciliations of certain of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures are provided in the accompanying tables.
