Income Statement 25


 
Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation 26 (a) Reflects non-cash expenses related to equity compensation awards three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The six months ended June 30, 2021 additionally includes non-cash expenses related to stock purchase warrants issues for third-party services provided. The three and six months ended June 30, 2020 includes non-cash dividends and stock purchase warrants associated with a contract that was subsequently terminated and stock purchase warrants issued in connection with convertible notes. Share-based compensation is an important part of the Company's compensation strategy and without our equity compensation plans, it is probable that salaries and other compensation related costs would be higher.

The six months ended June 30, 2021 additionally includes a loss of $0.4m related to the extinguishment of our former term loan and ABL facility. (c) Reflects costs incurred related to acquisition and integration activities that will not recur and operating expenses that will not recur due to acquisition related synergies. (d) Reflects non-cash expense recognized in cost of goods sold related to the step- up of inventory required under the accounting rules for business combinations.
