"I am pleased that we were again able to drive year-over-year revenue growth as the global recovery from the COVID-19 global pandemic continued to evolve, and we executed upon our revenue growth strategy," said Darren Jamison, President and Chief Executive Officer of Capstone Green Energy. "We also announced during the quarter that we expanded our long-term rental fleet from 10.6 megawatts to 12.1 megawatts as we march towards our goal of growing the fleet to 21.1 megawatts by the end of our fiscal year. This remains a key driver in our long-term strategy, as rental-related revenue drives a much higher margin than a typical product sale. This, along with our Factory Protection Plan program, are important supporting pillars in growing our Energy as a Service business," added Mr. Jamison.
"We also took steps during the quarter to expand our direct solutions sales team as their effort in the field is creating a robust project pipeline. We are excited for the second half of the year as we expect to start to close on potential projects deploying not only our existing microturbine technology, but the new energy products and service offerings we added on the back of our evolution into Capstone Green Energy Corporation, announced on Earth Day in April 2021," concluded Mr. Jamison.

To supplement the company's unaudited financial data presented on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, management has presented Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. This non-GAAP financial measure is among the indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating the company's financial performance as well as for forecasting future periods. Management establishes performance targets, annual budgets and makes operating decisions based in part upon this metric. Accordingly, disclosure of this non-GAAP financial measure provides investors with the same information that management uses to understand the company's economic performance year-over-year.
EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before gain on debt extinguishment, additional PPP loan forgiveness and stock-based compensation and other expense. Gain on debt extinguishment and additional PPP loan forgiveness relates to the Paycheck Protection Program loan forgiveness. Stock-based compensation and other expense includes expense related to stock issued to employees, directors, and vendors.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of the company's liquidity or financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to, net income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of its liquidity.
While management believes that the non-GAAP financial measure provides useful supplemental information to investors, there are limitations associated with the use of this measure. The measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation. Management compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on the company's GAAP results and by using Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally and by reviewing the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measure to its most comparable GAAP financial measure.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The company's non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with the company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
