as, the following items, if applicable: gain or loss on disposal of assets; debt extinguishment gains or losses; inventory write-downs, asset and goodwill impairments; gain on insurance recoveries; acquisition earn-out adjustments; stock-based compensation; acquisition or disposition transaction costs; and supply commitment charges. the most comparable financial measure to adjusted ebitda under gaap is net income or loss. adjusted ebitda per average active fleet on an annualized basis is also a non-gaap measure and is defined as adjusted ebitda divided by the average active fleets per quarter then multiplying the result by four. the company also uses adjusted ebitda less capital expenditures, and adjusted ebitda less capital expenditures per average active fleet on an annualized basis. adjusted ebitda less capital expenditures further adjusts adjusted ebitda to exclude capital expenditures. adjusted ebitda less capital expenditures per average active fleet on an annualized basis is calculated in the same manner as adjusted ebitda per average active fleet on an annualized basis. these non-gaap measures are used by management to evaluate the operating performance of the business for comparable periods and adjusted ebitda is a metric used for management incentive compensation. our non-gaap measures should not be used by investors or others as the sole basis for formulating investment decisions, as they exclude a number of important items. the company believes the non-gaap measures it uses are important indicators of operating performance because they exclude the effects of the company’s capital structure and certain non-cash items from the company’s operating results. adjusted ebitda is also commonly used by investors in the oilfield services industry to measure a company's operating performance, although ftsi’s definition of adjusted ebitda may differ from other industry peer companies. net debt is a non-gaap financial measure that ftsi defines as total long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents. the most comparable financial measure to net debt under gaap is long-term debt. net debt is used by management as a measure of our financial leverage. net debt should not be used by investors or others as the sole basis in formulating investment decisions as it does not represent the company’s actual indebtedness. forward-looking and
