COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho--( BUSINESS WIRE)--Hecla Mining Company ( NYSE:HL) ("Hecla", or the "Company") today announced third quarter 2026 financial and operating results. "Prior quarter" refers to the second quarter of 2026. Prior period financial information has been recast to reflect Casa Berardi as a discontinued operation.
THIRD QUARTER 2026 HIGHLIGHTS
Financial Performance:
Corporate Matters:
Operational Performance:
Rob Krcmarov, President and Chief Executive Officer, said: “Our third quarter results reflect the strength of the platform we have built, and we are well positioned to achieve our 2026 guidance. We generated record free cash flow of $151 million, led by Greens Creek's record $147 million. Our free cash flow generation and debt-free balance sheet provide us with the strongest financial position in our history, with nearly $700 million in cash and total liquidity of approximately $1.2 billion. Our organic pipeline continues to advance at Greens Creek, where preliminary work on the pyrite concentrate circuit is progressing and we are now evaluating two additional potential paths forward for the dry-stack tailings. These opportunities are still early stage, but they demonstrate the potential for meaningful value creation and to further solidify Hecla’s position as North America’s premier silver producer. We are delighted to welcome Dale Andres to our Board. We look forward to his insight and contributions as we continue to grow Hecla."

THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
Sales of $395 million increased 18% and payable silver sold was 23% higher compared to the prior quarter, both primarily driven by the timing of sales at Greens Creek.
Income from continuing operations was $150 million, or $0.22 per share compared to the $118 million in the prior quarter (in each case from continuing operations, excluding Casa Berardi). The increase was primarily related to:
Partly offset by:
Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $211 million, up 6% from the prior quarter (in each period, excluding Casa Berardi), primarily reflecting the increase in revenue, partly offset by higher costs applicable to sales and exploration and pre-development expense. 4,5
Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2026, of $692 million, up over 43% from the prior quarter. The increase reflects strong cash flow generation as well as $64 million of proceeds from the sale of investments. The Company's new $500 million credit facility remains undrawn, with $3.4 million of availability utilized for outstanding letters of credit.
Record cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $203 million, up 16% from the prior quarter, primarily due to favorable working capital changes, higher volumes of payable silver and gold ounces sold and higher realized gold price, partly offset by a lower realized lead and zinc price (in each period, excluding Casa Berardi).
Capital investment in continuing operations was $52 million, up 32% from the prior quarter (in each period, excluding Casa Berardi). Capital investment is expected to increase in the fourth quarter, as projects across the portfolio advance, including the planned completion of the dry stack tailings facility expansion at Keno Hill.
Record free cash flow from continuing operations was $151 million, surpassing the previous all-time high of $144 million set in the first quarter of 2026, primarily due to higher cash flow from operations (in each period, excluding Casa Berardi). 1 Greens Creek set a new quarterly site-level free cash flow record of $147 million. 1

(a) Precious metals concentrates include intersegment sales to Greens Creek.
Consolidated silver production from continuing operations was 4.2 million ounces, nearly unchanged from the prior quarter. Production decreased 6% at Greens Creek and 17% at Lucky Friday, but these declines were offset by a 54% increase at Keno Hill which set a new quarterly record of nearly 1.0 million ounces. Keno Hill’s increase was driven by record tons milled of 38,163 and a 36% higher milled silver grade compared with the prior quarter. Greens Creek production declined from the prior quarter mainly due to higher than planned maintenance during the quarter. Greens Creek plans to reduce mill availability in the fourth quarter for additional scheduled maintenance. As planned, Lucky Friday production declined as the mine moved out of a high-grade pocket of ore that drove a production record in the second quarter.
Gold production from Greens Creek was 12 thousand ounces, down 16% from the prior quarter due primarily to 5% lower mill throughput for the reasons noted above.
Silver payable ounces sold of 4.1 million ounces, up 23% from the prior quarter, primarily due to higher payable ounces sold at Greens Creek and Keno Hill, partly offset by lower sales at Lucky Friday.
Gold payable ounces sold of 13 thousand ounces, up 25% from the prior quarter due to the timing of sales at Greens Creek.
Concentrate volumes produced and sold were higher at Keno Hill and for zinc concentrate at Lucky Friday compared to the prior quarter. At Greens Creek, concentrate production was lower for all three concentrates produced, while concentrate sales were higher for silver concentrate, compared to the prior quarter, reflecting the catch up in shipments: zinc and precious metals concentrate sales roughly matched production. Concentrates sales at Lucky Friday and Keno Hill were broadly in line with production in the third quarter.
Consolidated silver costs applicable to sales (excludes depreciation) from continuing operations rose 35% over the prior quarter to $158 million, primarily due to higher sales volumes of silver, gold, lead and zinc. 5
Silver cash costs and AISC per silver ounce from continuing operations, excluding Keno Hill, which has not yet achieved commercial production, were ($3.20) and $14.34, respectively, higher than the prior quarter, primarily due to lower ounces produced at Greens Creek and Lucky Friday, $26 million higher costs applicable to sales (on higher sales volumes as noted above) and $14 million lower by-product credits compared to the prior quarter primarily due to lower gold production. This was partly offset by $4 million lower treatment charges ("TCs"). The increase in AISC compared to the prior quarter reflects these same cash cost drivers, along with $5 million higher sustaining capital investment, mostly attributable to Lucky Friday. 2,3
GUIDANCE
In the tables below the Company provides production, cost, and capital guidance on a consolidated basis and by mine, as well as projected consolidated exploration and pre-development expenditures. Silver production guidance is unchanged for Greens Creek, tightened up for Lucky Friday and for Keno Hill. There is no change to Greens Creek gold production guidance. Total silver cash costs and AISC per ounce 2,3 guidance is improved on better than expected results during the first nine months of 2026 and reduced sustaining capital investment guidance contributing to the improved AISC guidance. Total capital investment guidance is reduced by about 4%.
2026 Production Outlook
Consolidated silver production is expected to be 15.3-16.1 million ounces, with low end raised compared to prior guidance of 15.1-16.1 million ounces, and Greens Creek's gold production guidance of 51.0-55.0 koz is reiterated.
Keno Hill Update
In an attempt to maintain operational continuity, the Company is choosing to suppress Keno Hill mill throughput to approximately 300 tons per day in the fourth quarter of 2026 with further suppression, expected beginning in January 2027 to levels significantly below third quarter 2026 throughput. Including the Phase 2W dry-stack expansion, the Company estimates that approximately 200,000 tons of tailings storage capacity remains available under its current permits; how long that capacity lasts will depend on the rate at which ore is milled and the tailings generated per ton milled. The suppression is intended to preserve the tailings storage, waste rock and water treatment capacity available under our current permits while we pursue the license amendments needed to expand that capacity; it is not a cost-driven decision. We expect to hold the lower milling rate until those amendments are received, currently estimated by approximately mid-2029, and the related infrastructure is built. We expect silver production to decline by proportionally less than throughput because, during this period, we expect to be more selective in both mining and processing. In the mine, we will attempt to reduce dilution and prioritize higher-grade areas of the deposit. In the mill, we expect to preferentially process higher-grade material and stockpile lower-grade material for later processing. Actual production will depend on the grades, dilution, and recoveries we achieve. We expect to provide 2027 production guidance for Keno Hill in February 2027. See “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.
2026 Cost Guidance Improved
Total silver cash cost and AISC guidance per silver ounce is improved to ($4.75)-($4.25)/oz and $11.50-$12.50/oz respectively. 2,3 This guidance only incorporates Greens Creek and Lucky Friday, as Keno Hill has not yet reached commercial production.
2026 Capital and Exploration Investment
Total capital (growth and sustaining) investment guidance lowered, now at $198-$214 million from $208-$223 million to reflect lower spend in the first nine months.
Exploration and pre-development expenditures, from continuing operations, remain unchanged and are expected to be $55 million, with the focus at Greens Creek and Keno Hill, Nevada and Lucky Friday.
Metal Prices and FX rate assumptions
Assumptions utilized in the calculation of by-products for the fourth quarter are as follows, gold $4,000/oz, zinc $1.40/lb, lead $0.85/lb and copper $4.00/lb. Numbers are rounded. Assumed exchange rate for Canadian dollar is unchanged at 1.35 CAD/USD.

PROJECT PIPELINE UPDATE
Hecla remains focused on advancing a pipeline of organic growth opportunities that build on existing infrastructure, established permitting paths, and the Company's deep operational expertise. The projects outlined below are anticipated to be low-capital-intensity opportunities with the potential to meaningfully expand precious metal output, cash flows and net asset value over time, while reducing many of the exploration and development risks inherent in greenfield projects.
Greens Creek Pyrite Concentrate Circuit
Greens Creek is advancing engineering and evaluation of a pyrite concentrate circuit which has the potential to recover additional silver and gold that currently report to tailings. Preliminary metallurgical and engineering work indicates the project could, at average reserve grades, add approximately 1.0 to 1.2 million ounces of silver and 10,000 to 15,000 ounces of gold in annual production, once fully ramped up.
Preliminary cost estimates are underway. Early indications point to a potential return on capital exceeding Company thresholds, while potentially also reducing the rate of tailings deposited into the tailing storage facility, which would be expected to lower future tailings-related capital investment.
This work is at a scoping level of engineering, incorporating some advanced design. Given preliminary indications of favorable benefit-to-cost ratio and perceived low technical risk, the project is well suited to an accelerated engineering and execution path subject to receipt of applicable permits, and final investment approval. Under that path, the Company expects to begin intermittent production of pyrite concentrate in late 2027 using temporary equipment, ahead of completing the new circuit, expected in late 2028.
These estimates are preliminary, based on early-stage engineering and metallurgical work, and remain subject to change as the project advances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates due to further technical work, permitting timelines, market conditions, and other factors described under "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements, Including 2026 Outlook" in this news release and under "Risk Factors" in the Company's 2025 Form 10-K filed on February 17, 2026, and Form 10-Q filed on August 4, 2026 and expected to be filed on November 3, 2026, as well as in other reports filed by the Company from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The reference to scoping level of engineering in this section describes the engineering and cost-estimate maturity of processing circuit design work. It does not refer to an initial assessment, pre-feasibility study, feasibility study or technical report summary under SEC Regulation S-K 1300 or a preliminary economic assessment, pre-feasibility study, feasibility study or technical report under NI 43-101 in Canada.
Greens Creek Tailings Reprocessing Project
The Greens Creek tailings reprocessing project offers potential organic value creation, though significant groundwork is still needed before that value can be realized. Overall, the Company is evaluating three potential paths forward. The path with the greatest amount of time invested to date, is at a preliminary, conceptual stage of engineering (equivalent to an AACE Class 5 to Class 4 cost estimate) and is progressing through a multi-phase metallurgical study conducted with a third party, with Phase 3 testing completed in August 2026 (metallurgical results pending). This third phase of multi-ton metallurgical work is a key milestone that should help shape next steps, with the potential to advance to a pilot plant test in Phase 4. If the tests yield positive results, it is expected the project would advance through further engineering and economic studies before any decision to execute. Early indications point to a potentially low capital intensity path for Hecla to achieve initial cash flows, though the project remains in early-stage testing and depends on the potential third-party partner securing a suitable processing facility. As an added benefit, reprocessing all or part of the existing tailings could decrease the space needed for tailings storage and help lower the mine's long-term reclamation liability.
The Company is also at an early stage of evaluating two additional pathways associated with the dry-stack tailings. The first is based on advances in processing technology and growing market demand for material like Greens Creek tailings, which has created the potential to turn material once managed only as tailings into a marketable low-grade feedstock. This potential project pathway could recover additional silver and gold currently contained in tailings material, subject to further metallurgical testing and the identification of a suitable third-party processing arrangement. In the fourth quarter, we expect to load a test parcel from Greens Creek of approximately 5,500 dry metric tonnes of low-grade feedstock for shipment and sale to a third party smelter. The second option is a potential self-processing pathway that would require an onsite processing facility that could require new or amended permits. The Company expects to begin metallurgical evaluation of the self-processing concept in the first quarter of 2027, with results from this testing potentially available by spring 2027 to help determine potential next steps. The Company expects to be able to provide further details on these options in coming quarters as evaluation work advances. Potential for the combination of two or more of these three options is also being evaluated.
At September 30, 2026, the dry-stack tailings facility at Greens Creek held an estimated 10.7 million tons of material, containing roughly 51 million ounces of silver, nearly 600 thousand ounces of gold, and additional critical minerals, representing a combined estimated in-situ gross metal value of approximately $6.4 billion (based on September 30, 2026 metals prices and before transportation, processing or sales costs, which are expected to be significant). This material is not a mineral resource or mineral reserve. Any recovery would depend on further testing, a suitable processing arrangement and favorable economics.
Midas Restart Project
Hecla continues to evaluate the potential to restart the existing Midas mill in northern Nevada, a historic high-grade gold and silver operation. Midas benefits from existing permitted infrastructure, which could help reduce the capital required for restart, and the Company is working to expand the existing high-grade gold and silver resource to the scale needed to support that restart. Midas represents a potential hub-and-spoke operating model, with ore potentially sourced from multiple regional deposits and fed into the 1,200 tpd mill. The site also includes an existing permitted tailings facility, offering approximately 15 years of storage capacity at the mill's nameplate capacity.
The Company has allocated $16 million of the 2026 exploration budget for the Nevada project portfolio, more than three times the investment made in 2025. The 2026 drill program at Midas is focused on following up on the success of the 2025 drill program with a heavy focus on SE Pediment area that includes multiple targets including Sinter, Sinter Offset, and Pogo. The nearby Hollister high-grade gold and silver project is within trucking distance of the Midas mill and drilling resumed in the third quarter after a multi-year pause. With multiple veins and trends still open along strike and at depth, and programs at Aurora and Hollister beginning in the third quarter, the Company expects continued exploration momentum through the fourth quarter of 2026 and aims to provide regular exploration updates for the Nevada exploration projects throughout the coming quarters.
EXPLORATION AND PRE-DEVELOPMENT
Investment and Strategy
During the third quarter, the Company invested $16.6 million in exploration and corporate development (and $0.6 million in pre-development) activities, focused on high-impact discovery drilling at Keno Hill in Yukon and Midas, Aurora and Hollister in Nevada, and resource expansion programs at the Company's producing assets. Year-to-date, the Company has invested $32.5 million in exploration and corporate development, with this strategy balancing district-scale discovery with near-mine resource definition and reserve extension. Guidance for 2026 remains at $55 million investment in exploration and pre-development.
Producing Asset Resource Definition
Underground drilling at Greens Creek and Keno Hill continues to extend and upgrade mineralization near existing resource boundaries. The aim is to convert Inferred resources, the least certain category, into more certain categories and to identify reserve extensions.
Greens Creek
Three underground rigs continued drilling around existing resources, with results received from the 200S, East and SWB zones. Notable intercepts include:
Keno Hill
One underground rig continued drilling in the Arctic Zone of the Bermingham mine. Notable intercepts on the Bermingham Main Vein include:
EXPLORATION PROGRAMS
Keno Hill Exploration
Exploration drilling at Keno Hill ramped up through the quarter after a period of reduced drilling capacity earlier in the year. The primary contractor returned its second and third drills to service in late July and late August, and a second contractor added one drill at Flame & Moth in late July. Four drills are now operating and are expected to continue through the remainder of 2026.
Flame & Moth, a new zone of high-grade silver
Drilling has been successful in testing the favorable Basal Quartzite on strike with the Lightning vein. The zone has currently been defined over 350 feet of dip length and sits 900 feet southwest of the existing resource. Four holes tested the area and three found significant mineralization. Assays are back for two holes (Figure 1).
The zone is open to the northeast, toward the existing resource, and to the southwest. Follow-up drilling will continue in the fourth quarter and into 2027.
Bermingham Deep, extending a high-grade trend
Drilling at Bermingham Deep extended the high-grade Footwall/Ruby silver trend both southwest and northeast. Key results include 25.7 oz/ton silver and 4.2% lead over 10.0 feet (K-26-0940) and 14.6 oz/ton silver over 5.2 feet (K-26-0935B) in the Footwall Vein. The Ruby Vein returned 9.3 oz/ton silver over 15.8 feet (K-26-0941). The subparallel Main Vein 2 returned 61.1 oz/ton silver and 3.8% lead over 5.3 feet and has been extended about 260 feet to the southwest. Together, the trend now spans about 1,300 feet, up 500 feet from Q2, though that length relies on visual observations from two holes (K-26-0942 and K-26-0945) with assays still pending (Figure 2). The northeast extension points toward the historic Hector-Calumet Mine, where the company believes the two mineralizing systems may converge at depth, making it a major target for late 2026 and 2027.
Nevada Exploration
Midas is the only Nevada property with results this quarter: hole DMC-494 confirmed a second narrow high-grade gold vein (0.73 oz/ton gold and 2.9 oz/ton silver over 1.4 feet), and five follow-up holes all hit the expected structure, though only one has been assayed so far. Midas remains in restart evaluation with no decision made, and the key question is whether the veins have enough continuity and grade to support a resource.
At Aurora and Hollister, drilling has just begun and all assays are pending. Early holes at both found alteration and veining typical of gold-silver systems, which supports continued drilling, with remaining targets scheduled for Q4 and follow-up drilling in 2027.
Detailed exploration drill assay highlights can be found in Table A at the end of this release.
DIVIDENDS
Pursuant to the Company's dividend policy, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.00375 per share of common stock payable on or about December 8, 2026, to stockholders of record on November 23, 2026.

NOTES
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meaning prescribed by United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures cited in this release and listed below are reconciled to their most comparable GAAP measure at the end of this release.
(1) Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure calculated as cash provided by operating activities less capital investment. Cash provided by operating activities for the Greens Creek, Lucky Friday, and Keno Hill operations excludes exploration and pre-development investment, as it is a discretionary expenditure and not a component of the mines’ operating performance. Capital investment refers to Additions to properties, plants and equipment from the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
(2) Cash cost per silver ounce is a non-GAAP measurement, a reconciliation of costs applicable to sales can be found at the end of the release. It is an important operating statistic that management utilizes to measure each mine's operating performance. It also allows the benchmarking of performance of each mine versus those of our competitors. As a primary silver mining company, management also uses the statistic on an aggregate basis - aggregating the Greens Creek and Lucky Friday mines to compare performance with that of other silver mining companies. Similarly, the statistic is useful in identifying acquisition and investment opportunities as it provides a common tool for measuring the financial performance of other mines with varying geologic, metallurgical and operating characteristics. In addition, the Company may use it when formulating performance goals and targets under its incentive program.
(3) All-in sustaining cost (“AISC”) is a non-GAAP measurement, a reconciliation of which to costs applicable to sales, the closest GAAP measurement, can be found in the end of the release. AISC includes costs applicable to sales and other direct production costs, expenses for reclamation at the mine sites and all site sustaining capital costs. AISC is calculated net of depreciation, depletion, and amortization and by-product credits.
Current GAAP measures used in the mining industry, such as total costs applicable to sales, do not capture all the expenditures incurred to discover, develop and sustain silver and gold production. Management believes that AISC is a non-GAAP measure that provides additional information to management, investors and analysts to help (i) in the understanding of the economics of our operations and performance compared to other producers and (ii) in the transparency by better defining the total costs associated with production. Similarly, the statistic is useful in identifying acquisition and investment opportunities as it provides a common tool for measuring the financial performance of other mines with varying geologic, metallurgical and operating characteristics. In addition, the Company may use it when formulating performance goals and targets under its incentive program.
(4) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measurement, a reconciliation of which to income from continuing operations, the most comparable GAAP measure, can be found at the end of the release. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure used by management to evaluate the Company's operating performance but should not be considered an alternative to income from continuing operations, or cash provided by operating activities as those terms are defined by GAAP, and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. In addition, the Company may use it when formulating performance goals and targets under its incentive program.
(5) Excludes depreciation, depletion and amortization.

Cautionary Statements to Investors on Reserves and Resources
This news release uses the terms “mineral resources”, “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources.” Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. You should not assume that all or any part of measured or indicated mineral resources will ever be converted into mineral reserves. Further, inferred mineral resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically, and an inferred mineral resource may not be considered when assessing the economic viability of a mining project, and may not be converted to a mineral reserve. The Company reports reserves and resources under the SEC’s mining disclosure rules (“S-K 1300”) and Canada’s National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) because the Company is a “reporting issuer” under Canadian securities laws. Unless otherwise indicated, all resource and reserve estimates contained in this press release have been prepared in accordance with S-K 1300 as well as NI 43-101.

Reconciliation of Costs Applicable to Sales to Cash Cost, Before By-product Credits (non-GAAP) and Cash Cost (non-GAAP) and All-In Sustaining Cost, Before By-product Credits (non-GAAP) and All-In Sustaining Cost (non-GAAP)
The tables below present reconciliations between the most comparable GAAP measure of costs applicable to sales to the non-GAAP measures of (i) Cash Cost, Before By-product Credits, (ii) Cash Cost, (iii) AISC, Before By-product Credits and (iv) AISC for our operations and for the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the three months ended June 30, 2026, March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Cash Cost and AISC are measures developed by precious metals companies (including the Silver Institute and the World Gold Council) in an effort to provide a uniform standard for comparison purposes. There can be no assurance, however, that these non-GAAP measures as the Company reports them are the same as those reported by other mining companies.
Cash Cost is an important operating statistic that the Company utilizes to measure each mine's operating performance. The Company uses AISC as a measure of our mines' net cash flow after costs for reclamation and sustaining capital. This is similar to the Cash Cost non-GAAP measure the Company reports, but also includes reclamation and sustaining capital costs. Current GAAP measures used in the mining industry, such as costs applicable to sales, do not capture all the expenditures incurred to discover, develop and sustain silver and gold production. Cash Cost and AISC also allow us to benchmark the performance of each of our mines versus those of our competitors. As a silver and gold mining company, we also use these statistics on an aggregate basis - aggregating the Greens Creek and Lucky Friday mines to compare our performance with that of other silver mining companies. Similarly, these statistics are useful in identifying acquisition and investment opportunities as they provide a common tool for measuring the financial performance of other mines with varying geologic, metallurgical and operating characteristics.
Cash Cost, Before By-product Credits and AISC, Before By-product Credits include all direct and indirect operating cash costs related directly to the physical activities of producing metals, including mining, processing and other plant costs, third-party refining expense, on-site general and administrative costs, royalties and mining production taxes. AISC, Before By-product Credits for each mine also includes reclamation and sustaining capital costs. AISC, Before By-product Credits for our consolidated silver properties also includes corporate costs for general and administrative expense and sustaining capital costs. By-product credits include revenues earned from all metals other than the primary metal produced at each unit. As depicted in the tables below, by-product credits comprise an essential element of our silver unit cost structure, distinguishing our silver operations due to the polymetallic nature of their orebodies.
In addition to the uses described above, Cash Cost and AISC per Ounce provide management and investors an indication of operating cash flow, after consideration of the average price received from production. The Company also uses these measurements for the comparative monitoring of performance of our mining operations period-to-period from a cash flow perspective.

Reconciliation of Income from Continuing Operations (GAAP) to Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations (non-GAAP)
This release refers to the non-GAAP measures of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") from continuing operations, which is a measure of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is calculated as income from continuing operations before the following items: interest expense, income and mining taxes, depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense, ramp-up and suspension costs, gains and losses on disposition of assets, foreign exchange gains and losses, write down of property, plant and equipment, fair value adjustments, net, interest and other income, provisions for closed operations and environmental matters, stock-based compensation, provisional price gains, monetization of zinc and lead hedges and inventory adjustments. Management believes that, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance and ability to meet our debt obligations. The following table reconciles income from continuing operations to adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations:
