income, operating income or cash flow from operations, as
determined in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. GCI’s management uses
Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the operating performance of its
business, and as a measure of performance for incentive
compensation purposes. GCI believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to
investors and other users of our financial information in
understanding and evaluating operating performance as an
analytical indicator of income generated to service debt and fund
capital expenditures. In addition, multiples of current or
projected Adjusted EBITDA are used to estimate current or
prospective enterprise value. Adjusted EBITDA does not give
effect to cash used for debt service requirements, and thus does
not reflect funds available for investment or other discretionary
uses. Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein may not be comparable
to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.>
