  26. Annual EBITDA Reconciliation Non-GAAP Financial Measure Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is used as a supplemental financial measure by Boardwalk's management and by external users of Boardwalk's financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and rating agencies, to assess Boardwalk’s operating and financial performance, ability to generate cash and return on invested capital as compared to those of other companies in the natural gas transportation, gathering and storage business. EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company. The following table presents a reconciliation of Boardwalk’s EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, for each of the periods presented below. 26
