(2) Earnings
Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization is the sum of Net
Income Attributable to GCI, Interest Expense (including Amortization of
Deferred Loan Fees), Interest Income, Income Tax Expense, and Depreciation
and Amortization Expense. EBITDA is not presented as an
alternative measure of net 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 EBITDA to evaluate the operating performance of its
business, and as a measure of performance for incentive compensation
purposes. GCI believes EBITDA is a measure used as an
analytical indicator of income generated to service debt and fund capital
expenditures. In addition, multiples of current or projected
EBITDA are used to estimate current or prospective enterprise
value. 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. EBITDA as presented
herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by
other companies.
