commonly used non-gaap measure when comparing our results with those of other companies. we believe adjusted net income is a significant driver of long-term value and is used by investors to measure our performance. this measure in particular assists readers in further understanding our results and trends from period-to-period by removing certain non-cash items that do not impact the cash flow performance of our business. adjusted ebitda is defined by us as gaap net income attributable to caci plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and earn-out adjustments. adjusted ebitda margin is adjusted ebitda divided by revenue. adjusted net income is defined by us as gaap net income attributable to caci plus stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, amortization of financing costs, non-cash interest expense, and earn-out adjustments net of related tax effects. diluted adjusted earnings per share is adjusted net income divided by diluted weighted-average shares, as reported. adjusted ebitda and adjusted net income as defined by us may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies.
