Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present these non-GAAP measures because we believe these measures are useful indicators of our operating performance. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures principally as a measure of our operating performance and believes that these measures are useful to investors because they are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. We also believe that these measures are useful to our management and investors as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period.

The Company has presented the following non-GAAP financial measures in this press release: adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations as its reported net income/(loss) (GAAP), from continuing operations plus income tax expense, interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization, stock-compensation expense, and changes in value of derivative liabilities.

The following unaudited table presents a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for our 2018 guidance:

BOVIE MEDICAL CORPORATION

Income tax expense	(900		)
Depreciation and amortization	750
