Mr. Bartolacci further stated: “Based on our year-to-date operating performance and current projections for the fourth quarter, we are raising our outlook for adjusted EBITDA to be at least
“As COVID-19 subsides, we will be facing challenging year-over-year comparability for the next several quarters as casket sales are expected over that time to return to more normalized levels. In addition, recent increases in commodity costs such as steel, lumber and copper will impact the coming quarters, which we expect to partially mitigate through price realization. However, we currently expect the recoveries in our other business, growth in our energy solutions business, and benefits from our cost reduction initiatives to mitigate some of these unfavorable impacts.
“With respect to our energy solutions business, as I noted earlier, its revenues continue to grow. In fiscal 2020, its revenues were less than
“Cash flow management efforts will continue to be a priority. During the third quarter, we further reduced our net debt leverage ratio to 3.1 and remain on target for our near-term objective of a net debt leverage ratio of 3.0. We expect continued solid operating cash flow and additional debt reduction during the fiscal 2021 fourth quarter.”

Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Included in this report are measures of financial performance that are not defined by GAAP, including, without limitation, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and EPS, net debt and net debt leverage ratio. The Company defines net debt leverage ratio as outstanding debt (net of cash) relative to adjusted EBITDA. The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures to assist in comparing its performance on a consistent basis for purposes of business decision-making by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect the Company’s core operations including acquisition costs, ERP integration costs, strategic initiative and other charges (which includes non-recurring charges related to operational initiatives and exit activities), stock-based compensation and the non-service portion of pension and postretirement expense. Management believes that presenting non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because it (i) provides investors with meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding certain items that management believes do not directly reflect the Company's core operations, (ii) permits investors to view performance using the same tools that management uses to budget, forecast, make operating and strategic decisions, and evaluate historical performance, and (iii) otherwise provides supplemental information that may be useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s results. The Company's calculations of its non-GAAP financial measures, however, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to those measures, provided herein, provide investors with an additional understanding of the factors and trends affecting the Company’s business that could not be obtained absent these disclosures.

Curtailment gains and losses are excluded from adjusted EBITDA since they generally result from certain non-recurring events, such as plan amendments to modify future benefits. The service cost and prior service cost components of pension and postretirement expense are included in the calculation of adjusted EBITDA, since they are considered to be a better reflection of the ongoing service-related costs of providing these benefits.

| (9) Non-service pension and postretirement expense includes interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of actuarial gains and losses, and curtailment gains and losses. These benefit cost components are excluded from adjusted net income since they are primarily influenced by external market conditions that impact investment returns and interest (discount) rates. Curtailment gains and losses are excluded from adjusted net income since they generally result from certain non-recurring events, such as plan amendments to modify future benefits. The service cost and prior service cost components of pension and postretirement expense are included in the calculation of adjusted net income, since they are considered to be a better reflection of the ongoing service-related costs of providing these benefits. Please note that GAAP pension and postretirement expense or the adjustment above are not necessarily indicative of the current or future cash flow requirements related to these employee benefit plans. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
