Paragraphs:
The following table reconciles our historical consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) income.
(a) Foreign currency exchange loss (gain) includes the unrealized loss of $13.2 million in 2019 (2018 – gain of $21.2 million, 2017 – gain of $82.7 million, 2016 – gain of $75.0 million, and 2015 – loss of $89.2 million) on cross currency swaps.
(b) In June 2016, as part of its financing initiatives, Altera canceled the construction contracts for its two UMS newbuildings. As a result, Altera accrued for potential damages resulting from the cancellations and reversed contingent liabilities previously recorded that were relating to the delivery of the UMS newbuildings.
This net loss provision of $23.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 was reported in other loss in our consolidated statement of income. The newbuilding contracts were held in Altera's separate subsidiaries and obligations of these subsidiaries were non-recourse to Altera.
(c) During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded a write-down of a cost-accounted investment of $19.0 million. This investment was subsequently sold in 2017, resulting in a gain on sale of $1.3 million. During 2017, the Company recognized an additional tax indemnification guarantee liability of $50 million related to the Teekay Nakilat finance leases. For additional information, please read "Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 15 – Other loss".
(d) Adjustments related to equity (loss) income is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to equity income or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjustments related to equity (loss) income exclude some, but not all, items that affect equity (loss) income, and these measures may vary among other companies. Therefore, adjustments related to equity (loss) income as presented in this Annual Report may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Adjustments related to equity (loss) income includes depreciation and amortization, net interest expense, income tax expense (recovery), amortization of in-process revenue contracts, direct finance and salestype lease payments received in excess of revenue recognized, write-down and loss (gain) on sales of vessels, realized and unrealized loss (gain) on derivative instruments and other items, realized loss (gain) on foreign currency forward contracts,
