("rsi acquisition") and the subsequent restructuring charges that the company incurred related to the acquisition, (2) non-recurring restructuring charges, (3) the amortization of customer relationship intangibles and trademarks, (4) net gain on debt forgiveness and modification and (5) the tax benefit of rsi acquisition expenses and subsequent restructuring charges, the net gain on debt forgiveness and modification and the amortization of customer relationship intangibles and trademarks. the amortization of intangible assets is driven by the rsi acquisition and will recur in future periods. management has determined that excluding amortization of intangible assets from our definition of adjusted eps per diluted share will better help it evaluate the performance of our business and profitability and we have also received similar feedback from some of our investors. adjusted ebitda and adjusted ebitda margin we use adjusted ebitda and adjusted ebitda margin in evaluating the performance of our business, and we use each in the preparation of our annual operating budgets and as indicators of business performance and profitability. we believe adjusted ebitda and adjusted ebitda margin allow us to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and identify strategies to improve operating performance. we define adjusted ebitda as net income adjusted to exclude (1) income tax expense, (2) interest expense, net, (3) depreciation and amortization expense, (4) amortization of customer relationship intangibles and trademarks, (5) expenses related to the rsi acquisition and the subsequent restructuring charges that the company incurred related to the acquisition, (6) non-recurring restructuring charges, (7) stock-based compensation expense, (8) gain/loss on asset disposals, (9) change in fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts and (10) net gain on debt forgiveness and modification. we believe adjusted ebitda, when presented in conjunction with comparable gaap measures, is useful for investors because management uses adjusted ebitda in evaluating the performance of our business. we define adjusted ebitda margin as adjusted ebitda as a percentage of net sales. free cash flow to better understand trends in our business, we believe that it is helpful to subtract amounts for capital expenditures consisting of cash payments for property, plant and equipment and cash payments for investments in displays from cash flows from continuing operations which is how we define free cash flow. management believes this measure gives investors an additional perspective on cash flow from operating activities in excess of amounts required for reinvestment. it also provides a measure of our ability to repay our debt obligations. net leverage net leverage is a performance measure that we believe provides investors a more complete understanding of our leverage position and borrowing capacity after factoring in cash and cash equivalents that eventually could be used to repay outstanding debt. we define net leverage as net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) divided by the trailing 12 months adjusted ebitda. a reconciliation of these non-gaap financial measures and the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with gaap are set forth on the following tables: reconciliation of adjusted non-gaap financial measures to the gaap equivalents three months ended six months ended october 31 october 31 (in thousands) 2020 2019 2020 2019 net income (gaap) $ 22,256 $ 22,163 $ 38,741 $ 49,044 add back: income tax expense 7,627 7,815 13,597 17,272 interest expense, net 5,981 7,436 12,011 15,524 depreciation and amortization expense 13,019 12,164 25,978 24,027 amortization of customer relationship intangibles and trademarks 12,250 12,250 24,500 24,500 ebitda (non-gaap) $ 61,133 $ 61,828 $ 114,827 $ 130,367 add back: acquisition and restructuring related expenses (1) 61 (130) 121 (89) non-recurring restructuring charges (2) 2,791 — 6,251 — change in fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts (3) (566) (152) (1,821) (96) stock-based compensation expense 1,266 1,178 2,227 2,075 loss on asset disposal 286 151 332 217 adjusted ebitda (non-gaap) $ 64,971 $ 62,875 $ 121,937 $ 132,474 net sales $ 448,583 $ 428,016 $ 838,670 $ 855,381 adjusted ebitda margin (non-gaap) 14.5 % 14.7 % 14.5 % 15.5 % (1) acquisition and restructuring related expenses are comprised of expenses related to the acquisition of rsi home products, inc. and the subsequent restructuring charges that the company incurred related to the acquisition.
