When you exercise, do you add calories for the day?

Hi all!

If my maintenance calorie needs - my target daily calorie deficit = goal of X calories per day.

And then I do cardio that day burning Y calories.

Does it follow that I can add back Y to X and eat X + Y Calories that day and still reach my goal?

Thanks! Help appreciated!
