RE:RE:RE:RE:Conference call Questions
RE:RE:RE:RE:Conference call QuestionsThanks Nicholas,
I reread your initial post and realized you wrote you COULDN'T answer specific questions on this board. I read it the other way. Sorry.
How about a more generic question regarding something you quoted to me?
Can you explain why Polaris (and others in the industry) believes that EBITDA is the best way to evaluate financial performance?
Has it got something to do with the high depreciation rates for long life assets? Does Polaris believe that depreciation expense rules leads to financial results that do not accurately reflect financial performance and Polaris' value?
If this is somewhere near the reason, how do shareholders reconcile this idea with what other investors believe about EBITDA? Charlie Munger, for example, thinks EBITDA is one of the nuttiest things around.
Any ideas behind your logic is appreciated.
Larry
