Murphy defines EBITDAX as net income attributable to Murphy before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (DD&A) and exploration expense. Management believes that EBITDA and EBITDAX provides useful information for assessing Murphy's financial condition and results of operations and it is a widely accepted financial indicator of the ability of a company to incur and service debt, fund capital expenditure programs, and pay dividends and make other distributions to stockholders. EBITDA and EBITDAX, as reported by Murphy, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and it should be considered in conjunction with net income, cash flow from operations and other performance measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). EBITDA and EBITDAX have certain limitations regarding financial assessments because they excludes certain items that affect net income and net cash provided by operating activities. EBITDA and EBITDAX should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of Murphy's GAAP results as reported.
