•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; •Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt; •Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in or cash requirements for our working capital needs; and •other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of total comprehensive income to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:

TCE is a measure not in accordance with GAAP.(8) We calculate daily vessel operating expenses by dividing vessel operating expenses by ownership days for the relevant time period excluding bareboat charter days.
