Assets Under Development. We define development, redevelopment, construction, and entitlement projects that are underway or are in the planning stages as Assets Under Development (“AUD”). This category includes projects we are planning to build on undeveloped land. If all of these projects are brought to completion, the total cost capitalized to these projects, which represents total current estimated costs to complete the development and construction of such projects, is $2.2 billion, which we expect would be fund ed through a combination of undeployed fund cash, third - party equity, project sales, tax credit financing and similar incentives, and secured debt financing. We are under no obligation to complete these pro jects and may dispose of any such assets at any time. There can be no assurance that assets under development will ultimately be developed or constructed because of the nature of the cost of the app roval and development process and market demand for a particular use. In addition, the mix of residential and commercial assets under development may change prior to final development. The developme nt of these assets will require significant additional financing or other sources of funding, which may not be available. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA , which are not recognized financial measures under U.S. GAAP, as supplemental disclosures because we regularly review these measures to evaluate our funds, measure our performance, identify trends, formulate financial projections and make strategic dec isions. EBITDA represents earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization on a basis that deconsoli dat es our consolidated funds (intercompany eliminations) and eliminates noncontrolling interest. Eliminating the impact of consolidated funds and noncontrolling interest provides investors a view o f t he performance attributable to CaliberCos Inc. and is consistent with performance models and analysis used by management. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted to exclude stock - based compensation, transaction fees, expenses and other amounts related to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, the share repurchase costs related to the Compan y’s Buyback Program, litigation settlements, expenses recorded to earnings relating to investment deals which were abandoned or closed, any other non - cash expenses or losses, as further adjusted for extr aordinary or non - recurring items. When analyzing our operating performance, investors should use these measures in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the ir most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We generally use these non - U.S. GAAP financial measures to evaluate operating performance and for oth er discretionary purposes. We believe that these measures enhance the understanding of ongoing operations and comparability of current results to prior periods and may be useful for investors to ana lyze our financial performance because they eliminate the impact of selected charges that may obscure trends in the underlying performance of our business. Because not all companies use identic al calculations, our presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly identified measures of other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be measures of free cash flow for our discretionary use because they do not co nsi der certain cash requirements such as tax and debt service payments. These measures may also differ from the amounts calculated under similarly titled definitions in our debt instruments, which amo unts are further adjusted to reflect certain other cash and non - cash charges and are used by us to determine compliance with financial covenants therein and our ability to engage in certain acti vit ies, such as incurring additional debt and making certain restricted payments.
