Section 8 – Other Events

 

Item 8.01.

Other Events

On March 2, 2015, the Company conducted its 2014 fourth quarter and year-end financial results conference call. During the call, the Company provided certain slides in its presentation for review by the participants for discussion. Subsequent to the call, it was discovered that slide number 30 of the presentation styled “Chemical EBITDA – Sensitivity Analysis for 2017” which provides a sensitivity analysis for the Company’s Chemical Business relative to a range of prices of natural gas and ammonia inadvertently provided incorrect calculations in connection with anticipated EBITDA results. Attached hereto as exhibit 99.1 to this report is a corrected slide 30, which exhibit is incorporated herein by reference. This correction does not change any of the other target numbers for its Chemical Business for 2017 provided in the presentation. The presentation containing corrected slide 30 can be found on the Company’s website at www.lsbindustries.com at the “Webcasts & Presentations” link under the “Investors” tab.

EBITDA is defined as net income plus interest expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization of property plant and equipment, amortization of other assets, less interest included in amortization, plus provision for income taxes plus loss from discontinued operations. The Company believes that certain investors consider EBITDA a useful means of measuring our ability to meet the Company’s debt service obligations and evaluating the Company’s financial performance. However, EBITDA has limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flow from operations or other consolidated income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with EBITDA. The use of this non-GAAP financial measure has certain limitations as it does not reflect all items of income or cash flows that affect the Company’s financial performance under GAAP.
